New York's top terrorism official says there's evidence that members of anarchist groups from outside the city intentionally planned to incite violence at protests calling for justice in the death of George Floyd.
Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller said there is a high level of confidence within the NYPD that these unnamed groups had organized scouts, medics, and supply routes of rocks, bottles and accelerants for breakaway groups to commit vandalism and violence. There are strong indicators they planned for violence in advance using at times encrypted communications, he said.
One out of every seven arrests, of 686 so far since May 28, has been people from out of state, according to Miller. He said those arrested came from Massachusettes, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa, Nevada, Virginia, Maryland, Texas and St. Paul, Minnesota.
On Saturday, Commissioner Shea had estimated at least 20 percent of protesters arrested Friday night were from out of town.
The fact remains that the majority of those arrested were locals. Some like Mayor de Blasio's daughter were arrested for "unlawful assembly," and others were arrested for acts of violence.
"Before the protests began, organizers of certain anarchists groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police," Miller said.
He added, "They prepared to commit property damage and directed people who were following them that this should be done selectively and only in wealthier areas or at high-end stores run by corporate entities."

Surprised NBC would report this “right-wind conspiracy theory”.
There’s absolutely no doubt about that. They monitor the news, looking for events that they can turn into major crises. This is why CV19 became a major crisis for Trump. This was turned into a severe disaster and huge crisis for Trump.
It’s all about toppling Trump.
The Commie organized Riots are their next attempt to oust our President.
***************
Yep, voting, law and order and peaceful transitions of power are so yesterday.
It’s all about toppling Trump.

And his supporters. They are after us too.
St Paul, Minn, arrested 70 persons Saturday night.
NOT A SINGLE ONE was from the state of Minnesota.
Post #1 does not refer to those who protest injustice. They should. All benevolent people oppose injustice.
No, post #1 refers to the people who want to destroy the USA. I don't know exactly who they are, but they do exist.
I profoundly thank you for this information. My adult son, basically, hates AOC. I sent him a copy but he hasn’t responded yet. I am absolutely sure he will. Thanks for the ammunition.

“Before the protests began, organizers of certain anarchists groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police,” Miller said.
“If that doesn’t work, expect them to try something even worse as November draws nearer.”
Yeah, like vote by mail, dead voters, multiple vote voters, rigged voting machines, and yet to be determined methods.
We are in deep trouble! It has been allowed to go on too long.. in the name of one george floyd... mistaking violence with a purpose, for reaction to the one man
Its time to call this a war and fire the antis.. and put our military on the streets to stop the nation from destruction
