I know this may be hard to believe, but Minneapolis apparently does not have a very strong police force.
According to multiple reports and videos on the ground, the local police have reportedly been overwhelmed by the anti-ICE mobs and have retreated, fleed and surrendered to the mob.
The Gateway Pundit reported the following:
Minneapolis police officers, including Chief Brian O’Hara, were attacked and chased out of a downtown area by violent anti-ICE rioters on Friday night.
ADVERTISEMENTOfficers were seen in video footage from the riot abandoning the streets, leaving the area under the control of leftist anarchists who have been protesting federal immigration enforcement operations.
Riots have escalated in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a radical anti-ICE activist, who nearly mowed down an agent with her vehicle last week.
Independent journalist Nick Sortor, who has been on the ground covering the story, posted shocking video showing police in full retreat.
A large crowd of protesters can be seen advancing on the officers, shouting demands, as police speed away.
Watch as the mob “escorts” the police car out of the area:

Who is running the show here?
It’s not the police.
Summer of Love 2.0 incoming?
No-go zones incoming?
CHAZ 2.0?
Nick Sortor is live on the ground and he reports the police have completely given up, abandoning the area:

Mr. President, it’s time to invoke the Insurrection Act!
Call the ball.
Deploy the USMIL.
Clean it all up and arrest all the Deep Blue Governors engaged in fraud and stirring up this unrest.
It is no longer acceptable in America.
