It’s also important to know that he couldn’t legally send in the national guard with out Fry (Minneapolis mayor) declaring an emergency and requesting it. Walz more or less browbeat Fry into getting that; while at the same time ensuring a safe space for legitimate protestors instead of agitators who just wanted to set shit on fire. (right wing terrorists, and anarchists.)
Just as an aside, most of the anarchists I know are not about property destruction in that type of situation, but instead crowd defense (for example, unarresting and anti tear gas treatments).

Yup, anarchists come in all sorts of flavors. Reducing them to a single point of view or even political philosophy is folly.
Most of the agitators we’re from out-of-state and mostly of the militant right variety.
