Original Note:
National guard was activated a day after looting but maybe not fast enough. The Mayor does not present the complexity of the situation. A balance was intended to be struck, sending soldiers in could make it worse. When it became a full riot, national guard were called in. https://www.startribune.com/did-tim-walz-let-rioters-burn-down-minneapolis/601055269 https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/how-walz-responded-to-riots-in-minnesota-after-the-death-of-george-floyd/
