President Trump just threatened to send the National Guard into Minneapolis in order to get the city under control if their ‘radical left mayor’ can’t get his act together and bring the city under control:
“I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right…”

“….These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”

So what happened to the National Guard that was supposed to be deployed tonight?
Here’s a few videos from tonight, starting with MSNBC’s version of Baghdad Bob:
MSNBC reporter just now: "I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly."

The police let the mob have the police station and they are burning it down:
