Gov. Walz has talked about activating the Minnesota National Guard, under his command. I appreciate that: among other things, I suspect it throws a barrier to the Trump regime trying to federalize them.

Would we want the National Guard protecting our schools? I trust them •far• more than the Minneapolis Police, but I’m still uncomfortable with the idea. I don’t like the prospect of our students being greeted at the school by people with camo and assault weapons. That, however, seems preferable being greeted by kidnappings and tear gas.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell a narrow point: nothing says the national guard have to deploy with weapons. Plenty of what they do in emergencies doesn't involve carrying weapons. They are probably better off without weapons if they're stationed at schools. They would be there to exercise legitimate authority not state sanctioned violence.
