Arresting those who commit crimes will calm things down and save some victims. Now they have interrupted a church service, Americans have a right to worship. "Defund the police" has been tried in Minneapolis and it was a disaster.
funny why isn't he targetting all the republican cities with the same responses that have tons of ilegals? or rounding them up at jobs just as violently? It's amazing how all the violent criminals just happen to be in democratic areas.

This is bizarro. The "J7" violence is ICE killing a civilian. (She has a name that is how people are remembering the violence.) That is what happens on "January 7th".

How is that even equivalent?
Not so bizarro. The J6 version was also a federal agent shooting an unarmed woman protester. And in case you don't already know, Ashley Babbitt had a name as well. It was Ashely Babbitt.

Sorry if you don't see the similarity, even though the reaction from those who used to say, "no one is above the law!" is so different this time around. That's about the only difference.

How is that amazing? They're called "sanctuary cities" for a reason, and those people "just happen" to know where their type of criminal behavior is tolerated.

Cannabis is still illegal per Federal law, yet, many states have it as okay to use recreationally…you sure you wanna ride this horse?
A more pointed question is whether anyone is willing to test that in court.

Can't mean that much to you if you don't even bother to spell her name correctly

I think I see your confusion.

J6 is not called J6 because some deranged idiot got herself killed by being on the tip of one of the spears. J6 is called that because it was a singular attack by thousands on the seat of our government with hundreds committing violence on that day. The fool who got herself shot is a minor footnote that few care about. The event also was over on Jan 6th.

What happened in Minneapolis was only part of a sequence of ICE/CBP violence before and after Ms. Good was shot. "J7" is a nonsense designation.

At least it got you to recognize she actually had a name after all.

What you're seeing is what is not convenient to see, which is the double-standard you're promoting.

A one day event made out to be worse than the never-ending violence done against our federal law enforcement agents by the criminals who are harbored in a city where criminals seem to be more welcome than those who bring them to justice.

No more so than J6.
And yes, we're appropriating it.

I've known the idiot insurrectionists name for a long time (over 4 years). She is not the focus of the event.

I was wrong, your problem isn't confusion. It is deliberate agitprop.

It was kind of obvious this was yet another attempt to minimize Trump's coup attempt.

Abandoning “States’ Rights” as a conservative value, doesn’t look so good now, huh?

(I’d like to see Minnesota sue on Third Amendment violations, let’s dust that Amendment off, why don’t we?)

Minnesota is not a state, it is a lawless wasteland headed by regional warlords no different from the Somalia they wish to emulate.

"Idiot"? Is that what we should be calling the lesbian in Minneapolis who tried running someone over with her car?

Is that what you're mislabeling truth as now?

Nope. Just exposing the double-standard you're using by minimizing what is essentially a Black Lives Matter #2 event. Those people are already attacking civilians in their own communities rather than just federal agents. It will be interesting to see how long the community will put up with them this time.

are you referring to the illegals that are being currently rounded up in Minneapolis? If so, those people aren't even in prison yet. They are still roaming around in our communities. Clearly, they have already been "pardoned". Yet they continue their criminal behavior.

AI disagrees with you:
A sanctuary city is a local jurisdiction that limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, generally by not asking about immigration status, refusing to hold undocumented immigrants for ICE beyond mandatory detention, and not allowing local police to act as immigration agents, all to build trust and encourage reporting for public safety, though there's no single legal definition and policies vary.

I have viewed Ms. Babbitt's videos on her political views. She was a raving lunatic.

No such person exists.

Propaganda and agitation. That is what you present here.

I knew you'd get to BLM eventually. At least that is closer (magnified by a police killing in MPLS, not just one day, etc.) to the Trumpserection.

A statement like that is indicative of very selective video viewing. Watch the videos of the Minneapolis rioters sometime and then you'll have a better example of what raving lunatics are.

No such person exists.
Even more evidence of selective video viewing.

Some people are agitated when presented with truth. I can't help that.

Not to mention unhinged rioters in the streets terrorizing the public each day. And if you need further evidence that there's a connection between BLM and the current rioters, check out this news video and watch starting at the 10 second mark where the church video begins. Look at the upper left corner of the screen to see who filmed it. It's BLM of Minnesota, which as the news anchor says, is one of the organizers of the riot. CBS is rather mainstream, so you know they're telling the truth.

Are we talking about all Minneapolis protestors or Ms. Good?
Are we talking about all J6 attackers or just Ms. Babbit?

I thought we were talking about the woman who was shot in each case.

Babbitt is on video (she shot in her car) ranting about the "stolen election"(sic). Good is on video telling her future killer that she isn't mad at him.
Even more evidence of selective video viewing.
Do you have more video of Ms. Good? All of the footage I've seen come from the last minutes of her life. I think I've seen it all, but I am not certain.

I'm talking about things presented to agitate. The emptiness of your attempt is apparent.

They did occur in the same city.

In general, we're talking about why military troops may be needed in Minneapolis. We're talking about what is going on there, who is doing it, and the fact that there is a high degree of similarity to what has happened in the past and was allowed to continue.

I thought we were talking about the woman who was shot in each case.
She was part of the crowd continuing what she was doing. So it relates.

Babbitt is on video (she shot in her car) ranting about the "stolen election"(sic). Good is on video telling her future killer that she isn't mad at him.
She's also on video attempting to run over a federal officer. Did you forget that?

Do you have more video of Ms. Good? All of the footage I've seen come from the last minutes of her life. I think I've seen it all, but I am not certain.
See my statement above.

They did occur in the same city.
And the harassment of the public and of law enforcement officers is being done by the same people belonging to the same group. If you want to know what would occur if the military doesn't step in, just look at what happened before. If the good people of Minneapolis want to see their city going up in flames again and people killed, then they should just let our federal law enforcement officers do their job.

What you and I have been discussing, not everything throughout the city and over the last two weeks.
She was part of the crowd continuing what she was doing. So it relates.
There was no "crowd" on that street, just a few cars and a few onlookers.
She's also on video attempting to run over a federal officer. Did you forget that?
It did not happen.
See my statement above.

These federal officers are already shooting people. No one else is.
