    Tim Walz has said police officers are outnumbered, but he could order Minnesota police to deputize citizens who want justice. Keith Ellison could argue it’s the 2A right for citizens to do so and not charge anyone.

      Only two hours after Walz gave his press conference, the local pigs are gassing everyone in the streets while they’re escorted by the state troopers. Lol, but sure it’s numbers that stop the cops from being on the side of justice

      When an Ethiopia airlines flight got hijacked and was running out of fuel, the hijackers wouldn’t let the pilot land the plane. In order to try save everyone, the pilot used the PA to tell the passengers about the impending crash and also to “react to the hijackers,” in an attempt to get people to storm the cockpit and unhijack the plane. This should be the kind of communication from politicians, that even if it isn’t directly asking people to fight back, that’s what’s implied.
