Civil Unrest in Minneapolis. Trump Chooses Violence to Deal With Protestors.

Well by now everybody has seen the videos of another death by police in Minneapolis, by individuals connected to the state. The footage by cellphone shows the man, Alex Pretti, approached officers beating a man, and tried to record it on his cell phone. The police response was swift, firing 10 shots at Pretti, who was caught up in the chaos, leaving him dead.

The first fibs from the Trump administration was he approached the officers with a gun drawn. Well after seeing peoples footage who were watching and filming, it became clear Pretti, although armed with a gun, had it holstered. Rather he had his cell phone out when he was beaten and shot by riot police.

It is legal to carry a gun in Minneapolis to a demonstration, WIsconsin has similar laws. We saw this with Kyle Rittenhouse,when it was legal for him to not only carry a gun in Kenosha, but to kill 2 people in the demonstration, and cripple a third.

Regardless of what one may think is proper, with some Republican bourgeois trying to say it is illegal to come to the demonstration armed, the right to join a militia in the second amendment of the constitution should lay waste to this concern.

They made their bed now they can sleep in it. All those years of arguments for less gun control, only to suggest it was illegal for Pertti to have a gun on him. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

If Trump wanted to help local law enforcement, he could have just increased spending on Milwaukee PD. You would think this would be the first thing he would do; logically to stop a crime problem use the police.

Instead Don has called out the National Guard, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), DHS (department of homeland security), etc, supposedly to help police in lawless cities.

Instead we see films of ICE killing our countrymen, and it is a worry people will just get hardened to seeing this and soon it will soon not bother them so much.

It is still a mystery who constitutes the federal government, who trains them, and where they came from to Minneapolis. What is clear is these are Trump’s men, and are loyal to him. He is responsible for his troops like any other commander in the Army. The buck stops there.

Trump seems to have no guilty conscience, and it would be a surprise if he was to call and talk to Pretti’s family, and apologize. Don is not the apology type. He still stubbornly refuses to let even the local police investigate the shooting of Pretti.

Minneapolis is a day trip by car from Milwaukee. Chicago is closer to Milwaukee, but Minneapolis is basically the next stop after Milwaukee on the train. All we can do is hope Trump will not start calling Milwaukee “woke” and send in ICE next.
