1 The Gov. of MN needs a civil conflict to provide cover for his Somalia problems. Pitting local law enforcement and the State National Guard against ICE appears to be a real possibility.

2 ^ Absolutely. He's a martyr now.

4 It’s not going to work. Why would a guard commander issue an illegal order in support of Walz. If there is an ongoing indictment of the guy financing all these protests, I would like to see an indictment soon.

5 Yeah, I don't see the NG accepting orders to take on Federal Law Enforcement no matter what Walz says.

6 They might have better luck getting the riots going if this had happened in the summer. I think now, especially in Minneapolis, it's too cold so people will want to stay indoors. Besides, the victim wasn't in the demographic that gets most rioters off their butts.

7 Also, please note, this shooting appears at least as justifiable as the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. So if they're gonna prosecute the ICE agent, they should also prosecute Mike Byrd of the Capitol Police. He was pardoned by Autopen so it might be a good way to challenge all of the Autopen pardons.

One more thing: Shit happens when people resist arrest. The moral of the story is, always cooperate with law enforcement officers.

It is gonna take a lot more than a jusified shoot, to deflect me from the $8,000,000,000++ that they helped their illegals steel.

9 Well Walz is the "Commandant" of the Guard and he appoints the actual head (Adjutant?). It's unlikely he'd appoint someone with integrity, so such orders may be given and in any large organization there'll always be a few ready to do the wrong thing.

10 Sure, Mercutio. But it’s all fun and games until the feds prepare to shoot back. Or arrest those who shot at them, which seems more likely.

11 @1 I don't live in MN, but I don't expect that a lot of rank & file LEO and National Guard are interested in opposing ICE.

12 If it comes to "war" most of the state knows not to hold their guns sideways when they shoot... guess which side they'll be on.
