See It: Cops Shot Residents With Paintballs to Enforce Walz’s COVID Lockdown Curfew
Aug 14, 2024
In a recently resurfaced video from May 30, 2020, heavily armed police officers enforcing a strict curfew in Minneapolis were captured firing paintballs at residents standing on their porches.
The harrowing footage, filmed by a resident in the Whittier neighborhood, has sparked renewed debate about the aggressive tactics used during the city’s unrest following the death of George Floyd and amid the COVID lockdowns.
Many on X are taking issue at Kamala Harris’s VP pick Tim Walz over the shocking video, with some even dubbing him a “COVID Nazi.”
The video begins with Kersson filming a convoy of police officers slowly making their way down a quiet residential street.
A tan Humvee leads the procession, followed closely by at least 25 riot cops clad in heavy armor.
The New York Post reported that the scene resembles a dystopian movie as the officers bark orders at residents to retreat inside their homes.
“Go home! Get inside! Get in your house now, let’s go!” the officers shout, their voices echoing down the street.
Despite the officers’ demands, resident Tanya Kersson continues to film from her porch, capturing the tense moment on camera.
Her original video is currently unavailable on X, however, other users have still circulated the damning footage as this story continues to gain attention again.
“Never forget that, during the COVID lockdowns, Gov. Tim Walz sent police through neighborhoods outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul to shoot people with paintballs for standing outside,” one user said of the now-viral clip.
The situation escalates when one officer is heard yelling, “Light ’em up!”
Without warning, the police begin firing paintballs at Kersson and her guests.
The muzzle flashes from the paintball guns are clearly visible against the dimming light of dusk as the residents scramble to take cover inside the house.
Kersson’s frantic shouts of “Get in! Get in! Get in!” fill the video as the group hastily retreats from the barrage.
