Minnesota Law Enforcement’s Use of Paintball Guns During George Floyd Protests

During the George Floyd protests in 2020, a video surfaced showing law enforcement in Minnesota using paintball guns to enforce a curfew. It is important to note that this incident was unrelated to COVID-19 restrictions.

On a different note, Vice President Kamala Harris recently announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for the Democratic ticket in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

Uncovering the Truth Behind the Viral Video

After the video went viral on platforms like Instagram, Reddit, and Threads, many speculated that law enforcement was using paintball guns to enforce COVID-19 lockdowns under Gov. Tim Walz’s orders. However, this claim turned out to be false.

This is false.

Contrary to the misinformation circulating online, the video actually captured law enforcement in Minneapolis enforcing a curfew in response to the George Floyd protests, not COVID-19 lockdowns.

Digging Deeper into the Story

The video, originally shared on X by Tanya Kerrsen, depicted the National Guard and Minneapolis Police Department using paintball guns to disperse residents during the curfew. This incident occurred following the tragic murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.

Gov. Walz did implement a stay-at-home order in Minnesota in 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19, but this order had been lifted prior to the events captured in the viral video. There was no connection between the use of paintball guns and COVID-19 restrictions.

Multiple news organizations clarified that the video was related to the George Floyd protests and the curfew imposed by Gov. Walz. Despite the confusion online, it was evident that the law enforcement actions were not tied to COVID-19 enforcement measures.
