Here is the problem I have with the pushback from some state officials, specifically Frey after the latest shooting of that person in the leg, that he admonished protesters to back off that they were not being helpful but this is not helpful either. (frozen water) is treating citizens like criminals, even those not protesting or protesting peacefully. By attacking the protesters you feed the Republican narrative of "violent protestors" when they are legally protesting but still being attacked by (frozen water).
This is essentially demanding people in Minneapolis and Minnesota in general, to just lay down and shut up and take it and many Americans, most people , just aren't built that way.
You can't tell people ICE should "get the fuck out" one day and then all but blame protestors for the violence the next.
The Federal Government has declared war on the state of Minnesota and there is no other way to look at it.

when you wrote you cant tell people to fuck ICE, you are not correct. Frey said Get the Fuck Out,,,,
Please dont misquote people.

(39,005 posts)This is Orange Man Bad reelection campaign theory gone insane, and it will fail this time.
These politicians (or their expensive consultants) are no longer reading the room.
Is this what the "opposition" did with Hitler? "Oh, well I don't support abolishing Hitler's SS, I'd just like them to get better trained and be nicer..."
