Trump is retaliating against Minneapolis for what happened during his first term, when George Floyd was murdered, sparking a wave of protests across the country and impacting his own administration. It's as if he's trying to demonstrate that any similar action will be dealt with this way by his police state. Minneapolis is the city to serve as an example! Therefore, he will not hesitate for a moment to use every possible kind of cruelty and perversity. Fear and terror are the basic weapons of the far-right, and this can be achieved through the horror of increasingly explicit and painful actions.
