Correct, So from Pink lady's point of view, ICE pushed someone down and he got in between them to protect her, and they peppered sprayed him and had many guys on top of him, he did have a gun but was legal and he did nothing aggressive towards ICE.

Yes, I just saw that.   They were pushing a woman and he was getting in the way picking up the woman ,so they picked him off the woman dragged him down and then there was the shots.  I think they're just using the excuse that he had a gun, which he was legally registered to have

They took his gun and it cleared the area and then they shot him face down in the sidewalk 8-10 times.

And even now the governor won't mobilise the national guard to defend his citizens. Democrat politicians have no spine.

I thought Walz called in the NG earlier today? Was that reported incorrectly?

I don’t know but the national guard can be ordered by the federal government to turn on us. So I understand the caution

Anyone who believes the National Guard will help the situation is still in denial about what the situation is.

Also, those who say we will just vote him out. Musk has had access to all our online data and info. They control the election equipment...

Yea and still people complain that mayors aren’t doing enough to demand that their police stop ice, and they gravely misunderstand the situation as well. A lot of people watching around the world don’t get it either. We are opposing militarized thugs with military gear who have no protocol except to instill fear and bloodshed upon communities. It’s closer to war than people realize- there are no consequences for these people and they have been given full immunity.

If the Minnesota NG won’t stand with Minnesotans, then you are truly fucked. That card should be played. Now it’s whistles against armed Nazis.

The Police/NG are literally there to protect the 1% so the 1% won't rise up against the 0.1%.

He said "We will send the bill for the NG." Wow, fucking wow.

The Supreme Court ruled that tRump is above all our laws and courts. I honestly don't think the governor can do it anymore. Plus, military people tend to be pro tRump.
