The Pentagon on Saturday ordered the Army to put military police units on alert to head to Minneapolis on short notice at President Donald Trump’s request, the Associated Press reports, according to three people with direct knowledge of the orders who did not want their names used because they were not authorized to discuss the preparations.
Demonstrators rocked a police van, set it ablaze, scrawled graffiti across its charred body and set it aflame again as officers retreated. Blocks away, protesters used a club to batter another police vehicle. “We need officers to not take action that escalates tension. The militarized police presence is not helping the situation,’’ Kristen Clarke, president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law told USA TODAY. “President Trump, meanwhile, is pouring fuel on the fire by literally advocating for deadly violence to be used.”

Literally from the NSDAP playbook. Send in false flag rioters to cause mayhem, so public will ask for federal military intervention. Textbook. America is 1930s Germany.

Minneapolis police officer charged with murder of George FloydA white former Minneapolis police officer was charged with murder on Friday after a bystander video showed him pinning his knee into the neck of an unarmed black man who later died, an incident that triggered three nights of violent protests. He knew the victim. He worked with him. He has faced previous complaints about abuse of power. This is murder one. 😔 As a policeman, there’s pressure but always remember our responsibilities towards another human being. Life is not a video game, there is no restart after game over.
