After demonstrations have grown violent, state authorities have made plans to increase the law enforcement presence.
These units — which a U.S. official tells NPR number as many as 800 military police — could respond in four hours if Walz makes the request. Typically, these units maintain a 48-hour response time, the Pentagon said, to support state authorities in natural disasters and other contingencies. Walz has yet to request the deployment, according to the Pentagon. The governor has already spoken to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, according to bothDemonstrations have engulfed Minneapolis in the days since Floyd's death in police custody. Bystander video shows arresting officer Derek Chauvin — who is facing— placing his knee on Floyd's neck for more than seven minutes.

How so very sad that this is happening!👎It’s got nothing 2 do with what happened! People r using his death as an excuse to be out of control! What’s looting,burning of buildings,shootings etc. got 2 do with that And it’s from people from another state!!!!👎👎👎👎😢😢😢😢
Half the Black community are ex soldiers with combat experience. Is the GovTimWalz and the thejointstaff really going rachett this shit up? Are kidding me! Guess somethings are inevitable.
This is supposed to make us feel safe? He is the only president who was openly endorsed by the KKK Think: What could he gain by using that partner to incite riot in sanctuary cities, in a depression, in the middle of a pandemic, just before an election?
MayorFrey started this mess
Practice for Jan 2021?

You think this is bad? Wait til they acquit him. Better start fixing a lot of huge problems or learn to breathe smoke.
Send in the Marines.

Isn't this in violation of the POSSE COMITAS law?
What you have forgotten to say is that the governor has said that the National guard he called in and the state police were ineffective. And they need help.
This is against the constitution. Only national guard can perform duties not regular service.
Because our heavily armed military has done such wonders as a police force in iraq and Afghanistan... how long before Princes mercs are roaming American streets with the same impunity they had overseas? And will the FAA allow them to fly those blackhawks they use here too?
Authoritarian tactics to create a police state under martial law.
There will be blood shed in the streets of Minneapolis. These are scary times. But this was bound to happen. People of color can only be beaten down and murdered for so long. Of course they're fighting back. EndTheRacism
there is a corrupt white racist bigots in This country and America wont investigate because they wait til America implode. These Toxic white supremacist will make this country fall apart. POC has been terrorize enough and US has not done anything to solve it. America
Another liberal city messing things up.
We need a protest at: W Cermak Road & 17th Avenue, Broadview, Illinois No time given.
Would someone mobilize the military to remove all police forces. I think less trigger happy troops are a better community fit.
Ah, they trying to pull a Tiananmen Square?
The revolution is portable.
The military taking action on the people they're supposed to protect is a sign of poor leadership.
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that?
That would be against the law.
Hmmm, Maybe tRump should put more effort into SOLVING a problem. How 'bout tweeting 'How can we help?' How 'bout meeting with Faith leaders and other stakeholders?
The police should be using Flash-Balls and tear gas on violent protesters and looters.
Gov Walz will lose more control if he lets the feds come into the state.
TrumpGOP must hate it that a governor has to ask them. And what about the law on using federal troops for law enforcement?
Spoilers: he wont. Walz had no interest in preserving order or protecting the private property of his citizens. It's all a game to him while he relaxes in his highly secured residence.
Adding fuel to fire.
EnoughIsEnough
IF. The Governor already called the National Guard. Mr. Take No Responsibility should sit down.
Wow. So much effort is being put forth to control the protests. Maybe they could put that same energy into fixing the problem?
