Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota National Guard, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt have reportedly all been briefed on preparations for potential riots if former police officer Derek Chauvin is granted a presidential pardon.
Chauvin, of course, was the officer filmed kneeling on drug addict George Floyd during his fatal interaction with police. His death caused nationwide deadly Black Lives Matter riots throughout the summer of 2020.

Will they be as prepared as they were for the St George Floyd peaceful but fiery protests? Hopefully Tim Walz wife will get to smell the burning tires again to remind her of democracy.

Not to worry. I am sure they will be mostly peaceful. Besides we all know how much Mrs. Walz loves the smell of burning tires. s/o

Must be a mighty animalistic species if it is assumed ahead of time that they will riot. No wonder people move away from them as soon as they are able.

Heck. Waltz wanted to get them together to discuss how he could join in on any rioting.

If would be the right thing to do, but the story is a nothing burger. It even says that there is no indication that such a pardon is in the works. Walz and Ellison are trying to look competent because more Minnesota fraud under their "watch" is being revealed.

The president has no power to pardon anyone for convictions of violation of state law, which murder is unless it's on a federal reservation, etc. Furthermore, If Chauvin were pardoned, he would have to be taken by armed motorcade directly to an airport and flown out of the country or his life would be worth nothing.

Tampon Tim will be the one leading the rioters. There is something about him that reminds me of Jeffrey Dahmer, the BTK killer, just a really creepy kind of vibe that's just repulsive. Oh, and Chauvin is INNOCENT. That idiot Floyd had enough drugs in his system to bring down a charging rhino.

I was in MN for ten days visiting family through the George Floyd arrest and death by fentanyl. When they first put him in the patrol car, his mouth was open and he had a white substance on his tongue. A minute or two later, when they had him on the ground he was yelling...." I can't breathe." Well, you can't yell or say a word if you can't breathe.
And because of that criminal being reported as dying from a drug overdose, they swept up all of the Kangaroo dropping at the local Kangaroo court and sent an innocent police officer to prison while the dirtbag Floyd, died of a drug overdose. This is the facts from the Medical Examiner for Hennepin County, MN. And is probably not a Trump or MAGA supporter.
And there were several well dressed hoodlums with an ear piece walking down Lake Street swinging a metal rod smashing windows as he strolled down Lake St. That too was seen on the local news feeds. And Lake St. still look like Gaza on a good day in 2025.

Since they don't have riots, maybe friendly BBQs in the middle of the night, why would he need the National Guard? Trump should hold off until they are sent home. Put a little egg on the Governors face.

Poster #6 is correct. A presidential pardon is not in the works because he was not convicted of a federal crime. Chauvin deserves a new trial. This time, the original autopsy results should hold, and Chauvin's own body cam should be allowed. Also the chief who perjured herself by saying the hold wasn't taught or allowed in the MSP police department should not be allowed to testify. In her place, Chauvin's colleagues should testify and they should show the photo/video evidence showing the training he received for this hold. This was such a travesty of justice. I'm not making any claims on Derek Chauvin's personality or character. Regardless of any other complaints on him,, he deserves a fair trial. And the MSP mayor, city council, DA, and Governor ought to be run out of the state.

How about a federal civil rights charge of perjury for Katie Blackwell?
That would get the ball rolling.

At the very least, he deserves a new trial. He was railroaded by the politicians catering to the mob.
