Walz allowed the city of [[Minneapolis]] to be burnt down by his voter base before calling in the [[National Guard]] to defend lives and property.
Walz allowed the city of [[Minneapolis]] to be burnt down by his voter base before calling in the [[National Guard]] to defend lives and property. A [[Twin Cities]] resident wrote to the ''Pioneer Press/Dispatch'':
{{quotebox|The fact is George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, by a Minneapolis policeman. He was not killed by a [[federal]] agent in a community of [[white supremacist]]s.
Minneapolis has been dominated by Democrat mayors for more than 40 years. If systemic [[racism]] exists in the Minneapolis police force it has been enabled by Democrat leaders for more than 40 years. Make no mistake, Gov. Walz, Mayor Frey, Attorney General Ellison, Police Chief Arradondo, [[Ilhan Omar|Rep. Omar]], Sens. [[Klobuchar]] and [[Tina Smith|Smith]] – you own this situation. You have all run on platforms promising you would rid our community of this type of heinous behavior.
Liberal politicians’ show their [[cynicism]] when, while in control for decades, they express their outrage that racism is a systemic problem in the police department of our largest city. Each of these leaders has expressed support for the protesters, as if they are sympatico with their cause. Where is the self-awareness? These people are not supporting your leadership, they are protesting against your failure to deal with systemic racism while you are empowered to make real change.
Tim Walz is our governor; not [[George Wallace]]
Jacob Frey is the mayor; not [[Lester Maddox]]
[[Keith Ellison]] is attorney general; not [[Jeff Sessions]]
[[Amy Klobuchar]] is our U.S. senator; not [[Strom Thurmond]]
Medaria Arradondo is police chief; not Bull Connor
Enough of the empty accolades for the protesters. Don’t pretend you are in agreement with their cause. Your actions, while in power to make real change, demonstrate otherwise. The correct response on your part is not to insult the community with feigned emotion, your responsibility was to prevent this from happening. You have all failed miserably.<ref>https://www.twincities.com/2020/06/04/letters-you-own-this-minneapolis-and-minnesota-democrats/</ref>}}
