FILE - Gov. Tim Walz signs into law a sweeping package of police accountability measures in St. Paul, Minn., on July 23, 2020, including a ban on neck restraints, in the wake of George Floyd's death. MINNEAPOLIS — Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be the Democratic vice presidential candidate has revived the debate over how he handled the biggest crisis of his political career.
On May 29, Walz criticized the “abject failure” of the city’s response. He ordered a full mobilization of the Guard on May 30 and calm returned, but not before more than 1,500 businesses and buildings had been damaged, at a cost estimated to be nearly $500 million.in October 2020 blamed a failure of executive leadership at the state and local level and a hesitation by the Democratic governor and city leaders to confront their ideological allies.
That contrasts sharply with the praise that Trump heaped on Walz in 2020, as the dust settled on the crisis. Two days after Walz ordered the full mobilization, the then-president told governors and administration officials that Minnesota’s chief executive had been doing a stellar job. Michelle Gross, president of Communities United Against Police Brutality, said Walz was largely unreceptive to policies that would have led to more meaningful improvements. She pointed to stalled efforts to end a judicial doctrine known as qualified immunity, which shields police officers from liability for misconduct, and another proposal to increase the statute of limitations for police wrongful death cases.
