From Forbes:

“State Patrol troopers strategically deflated tires,” Department of Public Safety spokesman Bruce Gordon told The Star Tribune on Monday, “in order to stop behaviors such as vehicles driving dangerously and at high speeds in and around protesters and law enforcement.”

Gordon also said that the patrol targeted vehicles containing items used to cause harm during the protests, and admitted that this is “not a typical tactic.”

The Anoka County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Andy Knotz said that county deputies followed orders from the state’s Multiagency Command Center to join the patrol and slash tires.

Minneapolis Police Department, Hennepin County, and National Guard officers were not involved in the slashing.
Your usual baloney

Every car in the parking lot is strategic?

Once again the law enforcement community breaks the law with impunity, lies and expects it to be accepted because they think they are above the law. I see the same people who claim that Tweety and his cohorts were investigated without evidence calling this extrajudicial action acceptable.

Just like these.

“Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction.”

"During that skirmish involving protestors, one person was injured when he tripped & fell."


Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
