I saw a video of them pepper spraying people as they drove by groups of protestors (not rioting) out of the squad car windows. MPD not getting the optics of this kind of crap apparently.

In a riot, you commonly flatten the tires of abandoned vehicles as you pass to prevent the vehicles from becoming weapons to strike from behind the riot squad by a stay behind agitator hidden nearby.
In Iraq, I would used a thermite grenades for this purpose. 18Z50..Your revolution solution! |

Seems reasonable in a combat zone, but a little sketchy to intentionally damage and disable the private property of citizens when your job description is “protect and serve”. |

Sounded like the MSP was doing it, and other LE Agencies followed suit?
But, the one blip said it was for vehicles that had "supplies", but I question a member of the press corps would have 'supplies". What ever comes of the this it was complete and utter fecal matter display on all parties side. LE for not protecting property, not protecting other first responders (fire). The people took advantage of the situation and wreck innocent people's lives and livelihoods. What did that accomplish? Then you have the people that should have been in control sooner? The Mayor, The Governor, and others in the same pipe line! The governor was really bright saying the people causing problem were terrorists. A business has to get a rider to be covered for terrorist actions! |

Another interesting tidbit I heard was that a majority of the cars in that Kmart parking lot that had their tires punctured were rental cars from the airport. Why would locals be renting cars from the airport?
I mean, why would those from out of town be here to simply riot? Hmmmm..... |

Yeah, I heard they were all white supremacists. The governor told me so.

Seems like they were rentals because they were press.
Not sure why they don't just cut the valve stems. Seems like it would be quicker than stabbing the tire over and over, and cheaper when the city has to reimburse everyone for all the tires they slashed... |

Also, people need to be in the vehicle to drive them, in the instances I saw, the police were lined up somewhat near the vehicle, should have been pretty easy to prevent someone from getting into them. AND, as the police were pretty close, a person who DID get in and start the car even with 4 flat tires could have put it in D and stomped on the gas and still sent the vehicle crashing into police. I think it was police striking out, and getting caught, then putting forth a generic answer. Answer seemed to more address putting spike strips up to stop an out of control speeder |

Seems that if a car had supplies viable to rioters, that the police would want to smash the windows and get the supplies out, not just flatten the tires and leave the supply cache at the location of the unrest |

Yea, if they would have done that to my car I would be on a mission to repay them back 1,000 fold. That is total BS.

I saw what appeared to be QRF dropping tires on one red car that appeared to be parked in the street. Not a parking lot or any marking that indicate a parking area. As for the Kmart lot full of slashed tired. Highly unlikely it was police. more likely it was valdals as Kmart is in straight up low rent ghetto area. I am from Mpls so I know exactly what that area is like and I stay the EFF out of it!

I am familiar with these incidents - totally unaware of this technique.
I suspect there is more to the story. Just my 2 cents. I am skeptical of this. |
