An overwhelmed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday that he has reached out to the Pentagon for help in controlling the growing mobs of out-of-state agitators seeking to “break the back of civil society” in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
...
He declared that the protests are no longer about Mr. Floyd’s death or racial inequality, noting that minority-owned businesses, communities and non-profits have been hard hit by the rioting.
“Let’s be very clear, the situation in Minneapolis is no longer in any way about the murder of George Floyd. It is about attacking civil society, instilling fear and disrupting our great cities,” said Mr. Walz.

Show of hands ... who else suspected that days ago?
 
They excused it as that then and stood down while it took place, why?
Even if it was about that at the start it wasnt ok. They allowed the problem to esculate and now want someone to fix it for them.
I am legitimately torn on whether or not any of these cities that are tolerating the riots should recieve any federal assistance.
