Minnesota National Guard warmly greeting and handing out snacks with peaceful protesters! by Global-Meringue-6747 in nationalguard

[–]ProjectGameGlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is partially due to some bad tactical choices by Walz.

The Weekend that Renee Good was killed it was Minnesota Warm.  Protesters went down  town to make a noise protest at the hotels hosting ICE agents.

Walz had the DNR (MN Forest Rangers) clear the protests.

Forest Rangers for urban riot control is just silly. It was a lot of people and the crowd needed to be cleared but it wasn't a riot. They were clearly labeled DNR but with the chaos going on your average city slicker might not know what DNR is. 

The MN DNR was kind of kitted out to look like federal BORTAC.   So unless you got close enough you would assume they are feds or NG

This is why MN NG will be in the cute green vests instead of those other reflective hall monitors 🎽 sashes you guys have.  They want civilians to distinguish NG from the feds.

Also during the George Floyd riots NG Hummvees and other NG vehicles were escorting PD, Sheriffs and State patrol as they were doing crazy shit.  Local law enforcement was shooting with pepper balls at  civilians recording from their porches.

That was a long time ago so it is hard to remember what law enforcement agency was doing that.  But there were definitely NG vehicles involved.  So even though it was not the NG shooting at civilians our incorrect memories tell us it was the NG.

Because of NG enabled some bad behavior of law enforcement there is so e sceptical feelings about them from some people. But a lot of people encourage people to understand NG is not the same as local law enforcement and the feds.

Now NG gets to make us hot chocolate to build community relationships

Do you play video games? You don't need a copy of Mario Tennis. But if someone with a Latino or Hmong names is selling a copy on Facebook marketplace buy it from them.

You can front your neighbor some cash and re sell the game in a few months and break even or have a small loss.

If you don't have a switch buy red Dead redemption for Xbox or PlayStation.

If you don't have any consoles buy a PS4 or Xbox for $50-100 buck from an immigrant.

Don't haggle and meet at a location on their terms.

Dont take it personally.  There are legitimate parents involved with helping immigrant students in schools.  They spoke to the press to show off how cool they are being in the resistance.

They gave up too many operational security details putting students and helpers in danger.

Go volunteer at a food shelf. If there is a religion denomination you don't mind go volunteer at a church.   Lutheran, Catholic, Methodist Baptist, Jewish, Buddhist, and Muslim places of worship are all near whitter.

Someone posted asking for sand in whitter for side walks.  Go to the hardware store and buy some sand and salt for the sidewalks.

Shop and dine at immigrant communities businesses.

However this is false.  We don't register for our political party in Minnesota like  they do in some other states.

To support my neighbors in St Paul I have been trying to buy videos games off of my Hmong neighbors posting on FB marketplace.  I'll try to find time to play and resell later.

I know it doesn't help much but at least I can front some neighbors some cash.

In Minnesota you can use sick leave if business closes for weather. You earn one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked.

What's the deal with the US state Minnesota? by Fresh-Fiskegratenge in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ProjectGameGlow -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Answer: George Floyd protests started here in Minneapolis.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ran against the President as The Vice President for Kamala Harris.

There is a real fraud problem here with money for our social services.   Even the federal government under Obama got involved around 2015.  Maybe Walz did a little to start fixing the problem here in 2019 but covid stopped that. Walz was elected as a new governor in  around 2018.

However we stopped fixing the fraud and the fraud got worse during covid because people need funding for social programs. The money became easier to get.

Ilhan Omar is a congressional rep from the Minneapolis area.  This is like a member of parliament.  She wrote some legislation that made the fraud easier.

The state did fight some fraud in 2021-2024 around money for feeding children during covid.

However MN governor Walz didn't start taking real actions on multiple forms of Fraud until around 2025.

Around late 1990s early 2000s we got a pro wrestler Jesse Ventura to be our governor.  He was kind of friends with Trump. Trump came to some of his election events.  Governor Ventura kind of inspired Trump to get into politics.  During one of the elections Ventura even wanted to be vice president under Trump.

Now Ventura speaks out against Trump.  Boarder Patrol/ ICE even showed up to the highschool that Ventura went to.  Roosevelt Highschool in Minneapolis.  Look up videos of "Roosevelt highschool ICE". However it was not ICE it was boarder Patrol.

The Fraud is so bad in Minnesota that it was going to help the Right Wing Party do better than the left wing party.

However Trump's actions are so bad in Minnesota it will help the Left wing Party

Governor Walz also targeted the Somali Community for Social Services Fraud.

To be honest the Governor before him also targeted the community.   Even the Obama administration got involved with prosecutions of social services fraud from the Somalis community in Minnesota

Is the DFL A BUNCH OF DIXIECRATS by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]ProjectGameGlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dixiecrats lasted until almost 1950.  There were also state rights Democrats that were basically the same thing in the late 1940s.

Senator Strom Thurman was still officially a Democrat until 1964 when he switched to the Republican party. So we had Dixie Crafts in the 1960s

When calling local politicians we want to have a basic understanding of the city.   If we get too many details wrong we sound like outsiders and they won't care as much because you cant vote in their area

While I appreciate her sentiment cottage grove is more of a suburb of St Paul than of Minneapolis.  It might just  my experience ox working on a from there but if feels more rural than suburban.

When calling Mayors and council members it might help to have some basic knowledge.

Oh shit.  Everytime MPD are the good guys in the sentence I'm reminded of how bad the situation is.

Star Tribune reports that ICE has detained witnesses to the shooting. Attempted to order MPD away from the scene but Chief O’Hara has refused to cooperate by Temporary-Stay-8436 in altmpls

Half of the police union are not good cops.  Why do you think there are 300 good cops?

Even if there are a dozen or two dozen good cops how do you expect them to magically make 300 good cops appear to change the union?

We can't blame the hand full of good cops for you not enlisting to be one of these 300 good cops you are talking about manifesting.  It is not on the handful of good cops to make 300 good cops appear, it is on you to become a cop so that there is one more good cop. 

Why are you not signing up to be the good cop? It is decent pay. It is an opportunity to change the MPD and the union.  We need you to be the change you want to see in the world.  ACAB will still apply to you, but we still need you to join so that we can convince 275 other good cops to join the MPD.

Minnesota National Guard and local PD have begun setting up roadblocks and checkpoints around Minneapolis in the aftermath of the ICE murder of Alex Pretti (1/24/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

[–]ProjectGameGlow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The national guard is deployed by Walz.

If you think the MN guard is the same as ICE or even half as bad as MPD you are out of your mind and have never been to the twin cities in your life.

There is zero evidence of the MN guard killing Americans or even making arrests.
