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.
If the MN National Guard take any action against ICE, that is insurrection. Trump would have the legal right and duty to send in the US Army to suppress it.
Do you believe Governor Walz has decided he’s ready to start the Second American Civil War? Because if you don’t, then the only reason Walz has to call up the National Guard is to suppress citizens, with explicit orders to do nothing that interferes with ICE.
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.
