Just outside the entrance to Smile Orthodontics, in a Minneapolis neighbourhood of craft breweries and trendy shops, two soldiers in jungle camouflage and body armour were on watch Monday, assault rifles slung over their backs.Snow flurries blew around them. A few steps away at the Iron Door Pub, three more National Guard soldiers and a Minneapolis police officer stood out front, watching the street. A handful of other soldiers were scattered nearby, along with four camouflaged Humvees and a couple police cars. Across the street was a boarded-up building spray-painted with big yellow letters: "BLACK LIVES MATTER ALL YEAR ROUND."
