And the unraveling of the sacrifices that people have made for o long, that cannot, that will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must see peace tonight,\u201d Frey concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Walz then echoed Frey\u2019s no tolerance approach to rioting and looting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who choose to go out and, as Mayor Carter said, to exploit these tragedies for destruction or personal gain, you can rest assured that the largest police presence in Minnesota history and coordination will be prepared. You will be arrested. You will be charged. And there will be consequence for those actions,\u201d Walz noted. \u201cIt\u2019s not debatable, you\u2019re not making the case. You\u2019re hurting the case. You\u2019re undermining the grief and you hear it from families time and time again. Don\u2019t you dare step into our space where we\u2019re trying to enact change through our system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Guard was called out Sunday night to help keep the peace and is likely to assist Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center law enforcement Monday night.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
