Retired Lieutenant Thinks Tim Walz ‘Intentionally Let Minneapolis Burn’
“I think it was all part of a much greater scheme because he truly doesn’t like the police.”
Retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel ripped apart presumptive Democratic VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz during an interview with Fox News Digital.
Nagel thinks Walz allowed rioters to burn Minneapolis during BLM riots. His slow response is one of the main reasons why law enforcement does not like him.
Nagel also said the governor is anti-police:
“He is not a moderate, he has never been a moderate and here in Minnesota he has been anti-police, he has raised taxes, he is nowhere near being a moderate,” retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel told Fox News Digital.
“He’s anti-police, defund the police, when you have police families, and we have an officer killed in the line of duty, when that family looks at the governor and says we don’t want you at the funeral. That should tell you a great deal of how law enforcement in general feels about Walz.”

Nagel, who is running for office as a Republican in Minnesota House District 46A, explained that he believes the slow response was due in part to a political calculation.
“We’re hearing this over and over and over again, he let Minneapolis burn,” Nagel said. “I think he intentionally let Minneapolis burn.”
“I think it was all part of a much greater scheme because he truly doesn’t like the police. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison has never liked the police. They have been involved with people who are defunding the police.”
Pope County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Owen died in the line of duty in 2023 when he responded to a domestic violence call.
Owen’s wife did not extend an invitation to his funeral to Walz since “he does not support law enforcement.”
Walz wanted “alternative policing” during the riots. The Minneapolis City Council wanted to disband the police department.
The City Council eventually cut the police budget. A few months later, as crime began to rise, the members changed their minds, voting to spend $6.4 million on new police officers.
Nagel claimed Walz’s policies hurt Minnesota, forced people to leave, and had a major hand in the “dismantling of public safety.”
“I think they [voters] need to understand that he’s not truthful, I think they need to understand that he’s power hungry, they need to understand that he’s not doing this for the good of the people,” added Nagel.

The wife opens the windows at night to smell tires burning
So seems obvious to me. He is proving to be a Cultural Marxist and that is their plan to have street armies run amok.
“He is not a moderate, he has never been a moderate and here in Minnesota he has been anti-police, he has raised taxes, he is nowhere near being a moderate,”
Yes, but moderately speaking, he is a big ole sack-o-crap.
He is a socialist monster, akin to Chavez and Maduro.
This is not even open to opinion – it’s a clear matter of fact.
And Walz’s demented wife got all hot and bothered sniffing the fumes of burning rubber that signaled the total destruction. Evita Walz couldn’t sniff the burning rubber enough to satisfy her ghoulish desires.
Truly sick people.
That’s because he did let it burn. Just another instance of that big yellow stripe running down his back.
More of being a commie in league with BLM, a commie front organization with a great marketing name.
the city council took a vote and said yes to the SURRENDER
if we allow them to do this they will be pacified
It’s unfair journalism to include two paragraphs about how the Minneapolis City Council mishandled their police in an article on this topic. Walz is the governor, not the mayor. Did Walz persuade or arrange for the City Council to defund their police, or stand in the way of them reconsidering? I see no indication of either in the article. It’s unfair to blame one idiot for the actions of an entirely separate group of idiots.
Watch out, the use of such logic is a complete turnoff to those inclined to vote for Harris. Please confine your comments to emotion while being selectively conservative.
Bollocks. As Governor he has conrol over the State Police or whatever they’re called there, and the State National Guard. Effective governing includes not permitting a r to break out in a major city inside your jurisdiction. He HAD the power./authority to put a stop to it and instead watched Minneapolis burn on his TeeVee set.
He rermains culpable and without excuse. He will do the same if he gets hold of federal authority,because that’s WHO HE IS.
Of course he did. This is new(s)?
Which is worse?
A) He let Minneapolis burn because he was incompetent.
B) He let Minneapolis burn because it was part of a plan that he went along with.
C) When they finally stopped the riots, Kamala Harris did fundraising to bail out the rioters.
D) I think they are all terrible and true!
