I swear, I’m mad we don’t have a random Big Ten week 0 game like Nebraska-Illinois was a few years back.

That’s factually wrong. That happened during the BLM riots/protests. From when it happened:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/minneapolis-police-national-guard-paintball-shooting-porch-a9541016.html

That tweet is what one of our top posters would call … Bulljive.
You’re kidding right?   People on their porches?  Curfew.   After letting Minneapolis burn for days and doing NOTHING to the actual rioters.   You proved my point and I thank you.

Your point was that Minnesota deployed power tripping riot cops to enforce the curfew after Minneapolis burned? Cool, we're on the same page!

I don't believe that was his point? What part of this below indicates what you are implying?

lol.  No.  That was Walz flexing his muscle on curfew violators from Covid restrictions he imposed.  They had the audacity to be on their front porch.

think that was /s

But the bolded isn't true. There was no COVID curfew. There was a George Floyd riots/protest curfew. And there were cops who were chasing people into their house. 

Those cops were flagrantly out of line, and if we want to talk about that, it's a chat to have. But it has everything to do with government response to unrest and zero to do with COVID. The idea of a COVID curfew is, as far as I can tell, made up.

We could make border crossers attend Indiana games. Win win
They'd probably rather be deported.

well it isn't spelled out as i came away with he wasn't critizing them when saying They had the audacity to be on their front porch. That was my point and who knows exactly what anyone was running from unless you followed them in their entirety

So we agree that the cops, even in a riot curfew situation, are wrong to chase people indoors from their own porches with non-lethal munitions? If they’re Tim Walz’s cops committing that overreach, then I don’t see much issue with criticizing him for it.

You’re wasting your time Nubbz.  He will twist it his way. 

there was a curfew.  Innocent people were on their porches obviously nowhere near the riot.   The police were authorized to shoot them.  Paintballs.  

Those same police were not authorized to do anything to the rioters.   Walz wouldn’t allow it.  He actually defended them.

So do we agree those cops were out of line, or no?

Yes. Their orders were out of line.   Leave the violent protesters alone.  Pursue the innocent people on their porch after 8pm. Walz was wrong all the way on both.
