Gov. Tim Walz has activated the National Guard after 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters.
100%. I believe everyone here in Minneapolis understands that. I read comments (some are bots/trolls) saying the only way to stop this is to start shooting back, but we know deep down that 95% of the resulting casualties would be innocent bystanders. We’ve been able to mitigate harm to our most vulnerable neighbors by NOT escalating the violence.

We are on the edge of military involvement already. I dont want to be considered an escalationist but where is the line to be drawn?
