Granted, the National Guard was only stationed downtown for the majority of it, and then after Daunte Wright was killed they sent more in to the major streets in town, but it didn't seem to make any difference one way or the other.
I know most local business owners were happy to see them, but personally I felt a little uncomfortable seeing Humvees and armed soldiers at the end of my block every night.
