This is what I wonder: the riots started in Minneapolis. Democrat Frey wanted (sooner) and Democrat Walz sent the National Guard, had a curfew for a couple of days and the most violent acts stopped.

So I cannot understand why the Democratic mayors of Chicago, Portland and Seattle do not ask the same of the Democratic governors of Illinois, Oregon and Washington to do the same.

And one has to wonder about outside agitators.
