Another dark and tragic day in Minneapolis. As with any officer-involved shooting, a full investigation will be conducted. But we already know one thing for certain: Our state’s so-called leaders have totally failed us. Minnesota desperately needs law and order. We need peace on our streets. But Tim Walz and Jacob Frey only heighten tensions further. They block our local law enforcement from working alongside federal agents to keep the peace. And they rush to blame the officers before even the basic facts are known. It is incredibly irresponsible. It is exactly the poisonous mindset that keeps fueling this chaos. This is the same “leadership” that let rioters burn our city in 2020. We can never let that happen again. I encourage all Minnesotans to stay calm, stay away from the affected areas, and wait for the facts.
