      4x the number of victims - he should require 4x the security, right? Bring in 4 precincts worth of police to escort him. Maybe they can requisition some of the tanks from the parade on Saturday. Just to be safe, you know?

        I expect him to be flown in via TWO helicopters and those helicopter pilots and their wives to take part in the perp walk

          Lol Walz doesn’t seem like the perp walk type of governor, but it would be pretty badass given that he was on the hit list. Maybe that’s my bias, but Adams looked like a doofus when he did it. Dunno who the mayors of the places are.

      Well, he assassinated an member of government. That’s far worse than a private citizen.

      I guarantee he is not charged with terrorism. And threatened in the news cycle or by Pam Bondi’s office with the death penalty. His victims deaths didn’t affect enough shareholders to warrant such rhetoric.

        I see the state of Minnesota and the words “special weapons” on that guy’s patch, so yeah these are the guys that would actually have the real gear to respond to stuff like this. Your everyday beat cop isn’t trained for it and shouldn’t carry more than pepper spray.

          ACAB.

          With that out of the way, I’m ok having a specially trained and competent department or whatever to handle high pressure dangerous situations that they are equipped for literally and mentally (deescalation, negotiating, etc). Really, I think that could probably be a job for the national guard. It’s unfortunate that the world has bad enough people that sometimes armed personnel are required, but it should be under trained, power hungry gangsters cops.
