Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, like other stubborn Democrat leaders, wants residents besieged by crime to continue suffering instead of accepting President Donald Trump’s help in restoring law and order in blue cities. Walz doesn’t want the National Guard deployed. He expressed that with a quote that only shows how out of touch he is when it comes to rampant crime.

TIM WALZ: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SAFE, A TANK NEXT TO CHIPOTLE
"But I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe. A tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid. And it's for the cameras and it's, you know, you can get into the legal aspect of 'posse comitatus', but it's foundational.
So I keep saying, where are the, don't tread on me people.”
Here’s Walz with fellow Democrat Jen Psaki on MSNBC. (WATCH)

What doesn't feel safe is expressing any political opinion right of center. They want to kill us because of it.

They will not stop their messaging after Charlie Kirk’s death.

Walz mentioned ‘vengeance’ during his spiel. Trump wants to make cities safe, and all the Democrats are afraid he’ll deliver on it.
Minneapolis residents have reason to feel unsafe. Posters remember Walz sitting on his hands when the George Floyd rioters set the city ablaze. (WATCH)
Aren’t you the guy who waited four days to call in the national guard as Minneapolis burned? pic.twitter.com/5jjhCwDDdi

Do violent rioters burning down Minneapolis make people feel safer? Is that why you took forever to deploy the National Guard?

His wife liked the smell.

She really said that. Insane.
Commenters remember police shooting Minneapolis residents with paintball pellets during the Floyd riots and COVID. (WATCH)
I’ll tell you what doesn’t make people feel safe: Tim Walz having his police use paintball guns to sh**t Minnesota residents if they broke curfew by being on their porches during COVID.pic.twitter.com/rJjzNdZyFk

This actually happened when curfew was finally imposed days after the riots started destroying Minneapolis and St Paul.

Wow, sounds like things are already unsafe there due to Walz's incompetence.
Posters say, ‘Roll in the tanks!’ We’ll call it the Burrito Battalion.
What? Id feel extremely safe with a tank next to Chipotle. Ain’t nobody gunna be acting up.
— Just a Guy (@mitwachte21) September 17, 2025
It would be badass if there were tanks in bad areas then I wouldn’t worry as much.
— ⚖️ (@LudisCharta) September 17, 2025
Tanks in the 5th district of Minnesota would make many people feel a lot safer, I can assure you.

I feel pretty safe with a tank next to me 🤷🏻♂️
— Cyber Daddy (@cyber_daddy1) September 17, 2025
Idk about anyone else but if I see a tank next to chipotle 1000% I would feel safe Lmao

A burrito bowl and a tank, the ultimate good cop/bad cop routine

I’ll tell you what’s not safe…the amount of meat they put in your $15 burrito 🌯
— Remi In The System (@RemiRelief2) September 17, 2025
They load it with straight up rice
They do get a little skimpy with the meat sometimes.
Commenters say they’re tired of being ‘tread on' by criminals. They want responsive leadership that works decisively to stop crime. Walz isn’t listening.
The Don’t Tread on Me people aren’t being Tread on. It is time the criminals actually be held accountable.
— Matthew Jones (@RckBndFTE) September 17, 2025
Actually, most feel 100 x safer with armed law enforcement as opposed to mumbling crack addicts and aggressive gang bangers.

All he cares about is keeping illegal criminal voters.

Prolly the same way tanks bothered you when it came time for you to deploy with your troops…
— Redbud (@volpe18843) September 17, 2025
Ouch! Maybe that’s the real reason he doesn’t want tanks. Probably afraid to get his picture taken next to one, plus he won’t be able to eat at tank-adjacent Chipotle restaurants until Trump and the National Guard finish the job he refuses to do.
