That's the what the state police is for... the one that Minnesota refused to deploy to help ICE when the Good and Pretti situations happened.

The state police are not for enforcing federal law unless the state wants them to. That's a pretty big part of what makes them STATE police, actually.

Why do we expect the state police to help murderers? My only question is why they're not out there protecting the people from the murderers.

[_DeadFred_]

There are 600 police in the area, and 3000 ICE agents. In what practical way can the local police support that and continue policing?

In addition, they are cooperating where they can: https://mn.gov/doc/about/news/combatting-dhs-misinformation/

The state police are not "for" non-violent enforcement.

[arxari]

I mean yeah, they're not "for" it but you can see how deploying the PD would be helpful as they're more inclined to be non-violent and also I'd reckon they have far more experience than ICE considering the mass requirements which results in many many ICE officers being pretty much just militarized citizens with lacking experience put into stressful situations.

[redman25]

Why are they more inclined to be non-violent?

[etchalon]

Maybe the federal government shouldn't be sending "pretty much just militarized citizens with lacking experience" into "stressful situations."

Kooky idea, I know.

Maybe the state government should send the state police to arrest the murderers.

Kooky idea, I know.
