Hysterical?

No, It is stupid and childish.

Hysterical was the rumor of the guy that dressed up in black bloc and put Trump stickers on protester cars and the riotous protestors proceeded to bash those cars.

Probably stupid. Probably not childish. The slashers were doing it on orders from higher ups, not on a childish whim. And the Minneapolis police were not involved in the slashing.

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.

I keep hoping pete will get something right....

hey...who is in charge of the State Police troopers?

.... the State Patrol Chief, who has the rank of Colonel and reports directly to the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, who is appointed by the Governor and serves in the Governor's Cabinet.

The current governor of Minnesota is Tim Walz of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party


hmmmmmm...?????

Don't worry, they will do a proper legal investigation and not just slash the troopers tires.

In honor of the funeral for George Floyd, we ask all Minnesotans to spend 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence at 11am this morning.

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."

You'll have to ask the state’s Multiagency Command Center. They ordered it. I SAID IT WAS PROBABLY STUPID. But just more of your stupid baloney trying to blame the baloney on me. Or maybe you're as stupid as the guys who ordered the slashing.

Are you assuming that the rest of us are not aware of government malfeasance at all levels, including law enforcement?

Oh, and we're aware that there are millions of non-government thugs and criminals as well. Like ANTIFA, and peaceful protesters who throw stuff at cops and beat and maim MAGA folks.

The president and attorney general have tried to blame the “left wing” for violence at police reform rallies. Evidence actually shows that far-right and white nationalist militias have been involved. We’re requesting all available intelligence from FBI and DHS.

So? What's that got to do with me? Have I denied that there are "far right" or "white nationalist" thugs and criminals. Are you trying to deny that "far left" or ANTIFA thugs and criminals were not involved?

wait...if the state troopers slashed tires on orders from "higher ups" are they breaking the law?

do you thing "higher ups" would order tires slashed without the governor's or mayor's knowledge and/or approval?
