That is very disingenuous. The city has mandated a curfew to protect the citizens of Minneapolis, and if people go against that curfew, they are assumed to have malicious intent.

Same people who were arguing and spitting in cops faces last week because they didn't want to stay home or wear a mask now telling people to go home.

In multiple cities, I keep seeing police directly & intentionally firing at members of the Press. I can't help but believe this is directed by the White House, who wants not just a race war but a war on the Press. That's their election strategy.

It's also the end of Democracy if we lose the Press.

If you’re watching local Twin Cities news coverage, you will see that there WAS provocation. You could see especially from the air that crowd was throwing stuff at them. -
@FOX9 in MN just had live coverage of the crowd breaking windows on buildings. Police announced twice that they needed to go home and disperse before using any force.

@AliVelshi, is doing an incredible job covering the protests. I felt terrible watching him get hit with tear gas and shot by the rubber bullets the police were firing. He’s the press & he’s doing his job. Hope, Ali, stays safe, as it’s getting very dangerous.@MSNBCThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The National Guard can't by law be used against the citizens of America. They protect or Nation here from foreign invaders. Can't people see by letting this happen Trump has an instant SS Troop to oppress people using the National Guard. Nixon? Kent State didn't work out well.pic.twitter.com/Efl3jJgY7P

The National Guard can be used in a police action as long as they are under the control of the states Governor. If they were federalized, they transfer control to the President and the Posse Comitatus Act would apply.
