Who would you rather get arrested by when protesting?

Ask George Floyd.

Feels like forever. He was murdered in 2020, Biden took office in 2021. Shit was wild...

He was murdered in 2020

In Minnesota, under Governor Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey. When protesters over the killing began to march through the streets, Walz and Frey responded by releasing the National Guard to crack heads and jail people by the hundred.

Dude, we get it, you aren't going to vote for either. But you don't need to pretend the GOP isn't criticizing Walz for not being violent enough towards protestors.

But you don’t need to pretend the GOP isn’t criticizing Walz for not being violent enough towards protestors.

My problem is with liberals who keep insisting the Dems have a sound electoral strategy when they ratchet the violence up.
