Man who presided over destruction of Minneapolis tabbed for Dem VP
- Thread starter Phenomenally Frantastic
- Start date
He is some how turning Minnesota back red and they picked him.
Ok.
Ok.
The ignorant left wingers with their heads in the sand will attempt to deny it but the MN Governor did a poor job in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing; there's no question about it.
Crime (looting, arson) and violence started getting really bad on Tues May 26, 2020, the day after George Floyd's death. Law enforcement was clearly outnumbered as stores were looted and set on fire. 2 days later, on May 28, 2020, the National Guard was finally activated by the MN Governor.
Because of Tim Walz's lack of leadership and not calling in the National Guard right away (as you will read, he was hesitating; meanwhile, law enforcement was clearly outnumbered by the rioters), many buildings in Minneapolis and St Paul burned to the ground.
The timeline:
Mon May 25, 2020: George Floyd was killed
Tues May 26, 2020: Protests in Minneapolis begin, and the police use tear gas to break them up. That night, violent protests broke out in Minneapolis, as businesses were looted and buildings burned. Some demonstrators vandalized police vehicles with graffiti and targeted the precinct house where the 4 police officers (who had responded to the George Floyd incident) had been assigned.
Wed May 27, 2020: Minneapolis Mayor calls Gov Walz, asking him to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to the streets of Minneapolis.
For the 2nd straight night, violent protests again broke out in Minneapolis, as businesses continued be be looted and buildings burned.
Thurs May 28, 2020: Minneapolis 3rd precinct police station is surrendered and evacuated and burns to the ground.
More than 1,000 buildings were burned or damaged in Minneapolis in the days after George Floyd’s murder.
The police station that was surrendered:
Thurs May 28 and Fri May 29, 2020: Various businesses were vandalized and set on fire in St. Paul.
Thur May 28, 2020: The National Guard is finally activated by the Minnesota governor.
Sat May 30, 2020: An 8 p.m. curfew is established. After 4 nights of chaos in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis mayor called on people to stay home. “What started as largely peaceful protests for George Floyd have turned to outright looting and domestic terrorism in our region,” he said on Twitter.
Story from KARE 11 TV, an NBC affiliate in Minneapolis:
On May 25, 2020 George Floyd was killed.
Two days later, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made a call to Gov. Tim Walz (the night of May 27), asking him to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to the streets of Minneapolis. That would've been a full 24 hours before the city evacuated the 3rd Precinct Police headquarters, surrendering to the rioters, allowing the police station to burn to the ground.
At 8:05 p.m. on May 27, the mayor's office asked, "What's happening? As far as the Guard." The mayor's aid responds, "He said Walz was hesitating."
The mayor's staff went as far as drafting an press release at 9:00 p.m. that same night, announcing that Frey was requesting the National Guard. That release was never sent. According to sources at City Hall, Mayor Frey didn't want to appear like he was using the media to pressure Walz.
Officers from the Minnesota State Patrol, DNR and other state agencies were already on the ground across the Twin Cities working in support of local police operations, but they were outnumbered.

Looting hits Twin Cities after Floyd's death

It's cute how you guys try to pin Trump's race riots as a failure on Walz. He cruised to election in 2022 so Minnesota must have been satisfied with how he helped clean up Trump's mess.
"Mostly peaceful demonstration" was originally tweeted by the MPD. Not gonna look it up for you.
Not going to be a good choice. Tommy Boy is going to have a rough time out there.
There was a cluster**** involving Walz, Harrington (former MN Public Safety Commissioner) Frye (Mpls mayor), Carter (StP mayor) and Manke (Adjutant General of the MN Nat Guard) after Floyd's murder. If you think you can sort the details of said cluster**** with any accuracy props to you.
Here is Kamala’s VP pick replacing Minnesota’s State flag with a Somalian flag.
Harris / Walz 2024
What’s their campaign slogan going to be?
Make America Somalian Again ?

Look at you guys posting the same things over and over. The algorithm is working overtime with you boyz.
All that and still better than MAGA bullshit
Correct, but it has been transitioning more and more red over the last few cycles.
OP is in full panic mode.

Good lord, the man cruised to victory in 2022 after all that stuff people are posting.
Walz is a very solid pick albeit a bit liberal for my taste. He:
Beyond that
Walz is a very solid pick albeit a bit liberal for my taste. He:
- Secures MN which Biden would have lost
- Wins Wisconsin
- Helps in Michigan
- Probably not as strong in PA as Shapiro, but I believe Shapiro will stump for them and carry the state anyway
Beyond that
- I think he may help in places like Atlanta collar counties, North Carolina, etc. I think Harris/Walz wins Georgia and North Carolina and Florida will go red, but it will be much closer than MAGA expects
- I think AZ stays blue but they lose Nevada
- The momentum will help down ballot races

this is the perfect pick for her- if she wants to lose. it's great.
Russian level bad propaganda.
Changed the state flag — LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
The dems have a great ticket. The pubs have a convict and an eyeliner-wearing furniture lover.
How did you go from 'nobody wants Kamala' with all her skeletons in the closet and word salad to "great ticket?"
What Dems have is "not trump." That's about the most positive thing that can be said.
Which is why she couldn't get anyone good to take the spot. Why would you risk your political capital to hitch your wagon to someone that had a 30% approval rating a month ago. You can only manufacture support for so long
These are the same people (and media) that told you a month ago that Biden was sharp as a tack.
the government should never "let" anybody do anything. they are here to stay the eff out of our way.
