Walz has been put under a magnifying glass recently. And all his dark secrets are finally being revealed.
As an appalling leaked video of Tim Walz’s past has the Kamala Harris campaign in ruins.
A disturbing video has recently resurfaced, showing riot police enforcing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s curfew order by targeting residents with paintballs as they stood on their porches and in their doorways in a Minneapolis neighborhood.
The footage, filmed by Tanya Kersson on May 30, 2020, captures a scene eerily reminiscent of something out of a movie, as heavily armored officers march down a quiet street in the Whittier neighborhood, backed by a tan Humvee.
In the video, Kersson can be heard remarking, “Look at this, they just keep coming–” before her commentary is abruptly cut off by the commanding voices of officers shouting orders.
“Go home! Get inside! Get in your house now, let’s go!” the police barked as they moved down the street.
Despite the commands, Kersson continued recording, only to hear one of the officers yell, “Light ’em up!” Seconds later, the officers unleashed a volley of paintballs at Kersson and her guests.
“Get in! Get in! Get in! Get in! Get in!” Kersson frantically shouted, urging her friends to retreat inside as they scrambled to avoid the projectiles.
WATCH:
This is little Timmy Walz’ Minnesota. During the COVID/BLM coup d’état of 2020, he sent police into the streets with paintball guns to shoot anyone who was outside and mark them for further arrest later, if the government desired. And the Democrats want him for Vice President. pic.twitter.com/NjJDtdCZMX

The incident, which took place just days after the governor—who is now Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate—imposed a strict 8 p.m. curfew, highlights the extreme measures taken to quell the unrest following the m*rder of George Floyd. The curfew was part of an executive order aimed at curbing the violent riots that had erupted across Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The footage was filmed in the Whittier neighborhood, a trendy area known for its vibrant restaurant scene and proximity to the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Notably, this location is over two miles away from the epicenter of the unrest where Floyd was k*lled, yet the aggressive enforcement of the curfew extended even to these quieter parts of the city.
Governor Walz, in a statement extending the curfew on June 1, noted, “Since May 29, 2020, when I first issued a nighttime curfew, over 400 individuals have been arrested, with over 250 individuals arrested after the 8:00 pm curfew on May 31, 2020.”
“Because much of the destruction and violence has taken place under the cover of darkness, we must continue a temporary nighttime curfew in coordination with the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.”
This wasn’t the first time Walz had taken controversial actions that pitted Minnesotans against each other.
Earlier in the year, he faced backlash for establishing a “hotline” that allowed residents to report each other for violating social distancing protocols during the early days of the pandemic.
At the time, Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka criticized the move, stating on X, “It’s not necessary and it’s not how Minnesotans want to treat each other. We can all show a bit of kindness to our neighbors as we manage our times and needs differently in the stay-at-home efforts.”
Similarly, GOP state representative Mary Franson condemned the hotline on X, calling it “ratting on neighbors” and accusing Walz of fostering government overreach.
