The problem here, as in local to Minnesota, is it’s too local. It’s easy for authorities to gather enough resources for 1 city.
But Minnesotans are likely the only population that’s been brought to the breaking point just yet. (Trump spite for Walz, probably.)
im sure most of whats happening here isnt getting past the geofencing and content mods in regular social media. but they have not had enough resources to control even individual neighborhoods. even after bringing in more agents than the entire combined police force of the most populated metro area in the state. every increase in violance by ice drives more volunteers into community patrols. the administration cant subdue one medium sized midwestern city. they're weak and its showing.
thats what they picked minneapolis for. expected some nice viral moments of vilent protests like we've had and a big show of force putting us down. an all they're gonna get is footage of the ice director parancing around town at gas stations. if they send in the military, and yes i have zero doubt they want too. they have to know for a fact they have one willing too start shooting its own citizens. because they'll have too. and trump backs his ass down off threats of that faster than he folds on attacks abroad. im not saying this isnt an active terror campaign. it absolutely is. armed men in masks have been stalking the grocery store i shop at the past three days. i know they want violance in return for that. im just also saying they are beatable with wistles and cameras.
