        My point is that we should be demanding the governor send the state police, our mayors the city police. There are all kinds of official ways to oppose this if our leaders felt we were behind them.

      I really don’t understand why the local police aren’t protecting and serving their community

        The fraternal order of police in Minnesota came out in support of ICEs murder last week. They chose their side and it’s not the one of protecting and serving their community

    Where the fuck is govenor, and senators, and the national gaurd?

    We pay all of these taxes, and for what? To get our teeth kicked in by rent-a-cops?

      Not nothing but I think the governor knows that the National Guard wouldn’t follow his orders to interfere.

        Then he must have some power to punish them no? Maybe threaten them with dishonorable discharge or aomething?

          Did the governor of Arkansas have any power to punish the national guardsman that protected little black kids from going to school in his state? If he couldn’t do it what makes you think Tim Waltz could?
