"””State Patrol troopers strategically deflated tires to keep vehicles from being used in attacks, and so we could tow the vehicles later for collection of evidence if necessary," Minnesota Department of Public Safety spokesman Bruce Gordon said in a statement to NPR.””” As a defensive measure that was a good idea! They s/b commended for taking positive action!

A nonviolent way to limit the folks who were there to do violence, sounds good to me.
Comment: the Star Tribune reporter is as likely to be part of the groups trying to do harm as not. STrib is known for how far left it leans and its reporters have been on the side of rioters and supported them many times. Also, the idea that they were "targeted" is kind of weak. Their cars were probably not individually targeted, they were part of a group in a particular area -- but that language was designed specifically to make the police look like the bad guys.
