"Governor Tim Walz today signed Executive Order 20-65 : During the curfew, no one may travel on Minneapolis and Saint Paul streets or public places, except for first responders, members of the media, people going back and forth to work, individuals seeking emergency care or fleeing danger, and people experiencing homelessness."
Please note sitting on your front porch is not mentioned. The residents were not traveling on streets or public places. The Einstein who issued the order "Light 'em up" should be stripped of his protective gear, especially eye protection. The citizen hit by the marker round gets one free shot. Einstein should then be marched into the precinct house and sat at a desk with 1 legal pad and a #2 pencil. That should be Officer Einstein's post for the remainder of the festivities because he is unfit for command. At a press conference the Director of Prisons excuse for this behavior was that outside agitators were hiding on residents' porches. I do not find the Director of Prisons comments an adequate explanation for this lack of command judgement.
