Good shit, Walz. He followed the talk softly but carry a big stick approach perfectly.
This is good. But it is anything but a done thing. Trump will likely try to yank the guard out from under them. Hopefully this states guard will refuse and join up with the panthers etc against the invaders.
They're totally going to be used on the protesters. I hope I'm wrong though.
You think Tim.Walz is going to use the National Guard against the protestors? The entire point of him calling them to duty is to protect the protestors
Police and national guard have routinely made protestors' lives hell since forever. It's not a stretch of the imagination.
As someone who was in the MN guard, I think the guard itself will use itself against the protesters. The best of them will feel cornered. The worst will feel given an opportunity for backstabbing.
Never trust someone who puts on a costume to go killing people.
So they're going to detain or arrest anyone who even gets in a scuffle or attempts vandalism.
The National Guard will mostly just be standing around next to local law enforcement to back them up, but if shit actually pops off they will use as much force as they're authorized and equipped for.
