I think you've misunderstood the situation (and the article). Having the national guard get things under control means pitting them against ICE and likely actually triggering a civil war.

The problem is not Minnesotans or paid protestors rioting, the problem is a hostile occupying force is actively targeting Minnesotans and Walz is trying to balance protecting his constituents with not escalating the situation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Minnesota have conflicting incentives delegate counts driving their bad judgement" or why you think its bad judgement to protest the murder of a community member.

But I dont disagree that as tensions ratchet up eventually someone will do something stupid, and ICE will threaten enough people that it sets off a conflict between ICE and the local law enforcement/national guard.

No, used correctly the police and national guard would round up the rioters. The governor is seeing it the other way around because he is in a lot of trouble with the federal government at the moment for unrelated issues. I never base things strictly on articles as the authors are often misinformed and wish to control narratives. The governor not only wants the riots he is actively promoting fights between his citizens and ICE.

Stop consuming whatever high-test nonsense you have been freebasing, go breathe some fresh air, and then read the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
