Yea I’m sure they identified this man

quote:

A masked man who was seen in a viral video smashing the windows of a south Minneapolis auto parts store during the George Floyd protests, earning him the moniker "Umbrella Man," is suspected of ties with a white supremacist group and sought to incite racial tension, police said.


quote:

"This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city," Sgt. Erika Christensen wrote in a search warrant affidavit filed in court this week. "Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling 'Umbrella Man,' the protests had been relatively peaceful. The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension. Your affiant believes that this individual's sole aim was to incite violence."

How can you say he is tied to white supremacist groups if you have no idea who he is?

Am I missing something?

Did you read the whole article you posted? They know his name; they just haven't released it...

"the police account, which has so far only surfaced in the search warrant, and isn't naming the man because so far he has not been charged with a crime. The man, who has a criminal history that includes convictions of domestic violence and assault, did not respond to messages seeking comment."

Police trying to get on the BLM side? I don't get why the MPD would be trying to push the anti white supremacist issue. Seems much more CNN like

Well yea. They were the ones starting all the chaos. And for obvious political reasons.

You dont see why a city government that has done the following:
-encouraged protesting
-allowed looting to go unchecked
-voted to defund the police
-Supports BLM
-allowed ANTIFA to maintain a presence
-prevented the president from bringing in troops to prevent further looting

You don’t see why that city would have a vested interest in blaming it on a white supremacist?

I do see the city doing this, yes. Just wouldn't think the MPD would be on board with it. I figured the MPD and the rest of the city would be at extreme odds with each other.

So Umbrella Man was wrongly ID’d as a current/former MPD Officer in the beginning?

Twitter surely thought they had the case solved.

This is key.

Pretty sure the precinct had been burned by this point.
