> It sounds like he is calling on the National Guard to protect against ICE? Is this the first time a state has done this? I personally think it’s the right move but this is a serious matter to have one law enforcement agency called out to protect against another law enforcement agency. If true, this is a very big deal.
It’s to motivate peace and riot control due to the situation.
If he had some “knucklehead” notion to pit The NG against ICE, the federal government would simply federalize the NG and remove it from state control. I think he’s a goof, but he’s smarter than that, plus as a former NG, he knows how the NG command structure works.

- tastyface 9mo agoSeems pretty clear to me that state governors need to start cultivating their own State Guards, and by the thousands.

- tastyface 9mo agoNo: a fascist is in the white house, is illegally deploying national guard troops to occupy Democratic cities, and his brownshirts are outright shooting peaceful citizens in the head while branding them terrorists. As per the article you are commenting on. A State Guard is the obvious counter to a rogue executive branch when checks and balances have failed. Alternatively, at some point, people are going to start organizing actual defensive militias out of sheer necessity.

- tastyface 9mo agoI am exactly advising a second amendment solution as it was written. An armed force must exist that can bring people like the ICE murderer into custody, and prevent further such incidents from happening in the future. Conventionally, the National Guard would play that role, but they have been illegally coopted by the out-of-control executive.

Maybe you should listen to what the Minneapolis mayor and Minnesota governor have to say about the killing in their official capacity if you think people online are overreacting.

- fzeroracer 9mo agoYou're posting in a thread where a woman just got murdered by a federal officer and no more than 10 or so minutes after it occurred before the body was cold and even identified immediately leapt to call her a terrorist. No shit the rules of the game have changed.

- myvoiceismypass 9mo agoWhy is it okay that your mush-mouth dear leader can make all the accusations that they want in less than 10 minutes every time any incident like this happens? No consequences for that ever. But those of us with functioning eyes cannot call a spade a spade?
- kcplate 9mo agoWho made that claim? Not I.
- hypeatei 9mo agoYep, don't acknowledge the point about current leadership and their rhetoric. Ignore the videos you see online and ignore the picture of blood + brain matter splattered inside the car. I can't tell if you're trolling, an awful person, or just that fucking stupid. Maybe all three.
- fzeroracer 9mo agoYou can see from bits and pieces of their post history that they're likely all three [1], considering how far they've been willing to bend to try and defend increasingly absurd claims. I normally don't like making accusations like these sort of things, but given how quickly people have fallen into lockstep with the exact same argument which is easily debunked by watching the video I start to question their actual intention.
