MINNEAPOLIS, MN – According to reports, a U.S. District Judge has sentenced the last of four men who pleaded guilty to torching the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct during summer 2020.
In court on Monday morning, June 7th, Judge Patrick Schiltz sentenced 27-year-old Bryce Michael Williams to two years and three months in federal prison and ordered him to help pay $12 million in restitution for the damage.
Judge Schiltz described the defendant as a “good person who made a terrible mistake.” While the judge handed down a lighter sentence than prosecutors had requested under state guidelines, he denied Williams’ request for probation, citing that the defendant was a leader, “not a follower,” in the attack on the precinct.
On May 28th, 2020, a crowd of more than 1,000 people gathered outside the precinct, chanting “burn it down!” Dozens of people worked together to tear down a fence that was surrounding the building, intended to keep trespassers out of the precinct.
According to Acting U.S. Attorney W. Anders Folks, that is when Williams and three other men, since identified as 25-year-old Davon De-Andre Turner, 23-year-old Michael Wolfe, and Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, lit and threw Molotov cocktails at the building, causing “near total destruction” of the building.
Williams posted videos of himself and others rioting. His TikTok account grew fast and soon had more than 150,00 followers. All four men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson and Williams was the last to be sentenced.
Folks said in a statement:
“Mr. Williams and his co-defendants have been held accountable for their dangerous and destructive actions. I thank our federal, state, and local partners who pursued justice in these cases.”
Turner was sentenced to three years in prison. Robinson received four years, and Wolf got three years and five months.
Additionally, each must help pay restitution. In addition to prison time, Williams, a former college basketball player, will have to pay $12 million in restitution and will be subject to two years post supervision release.
Williams reportedly described himself as a biracial man who grew up in the mostly white suburbs of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. He was the first college graduate in his family and he went to a university on a basketball scholarship.
In court, he said that he was ashamed of his behavior during the riot and that he won’t forget “the pain and agony” he helped facilitate. Reportedly, since being charged, he said he has had steady employment in security work.
He added that he has stopped drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, stating that he has been focused on his faith and being a good father.
He asked the judge:
“Please have mercy on me while you sentence me.”
A Minneapolis police officer who left the force following the riots after 37 years as an officer told the court that she sent photos of herself to her family before and after every shift to tell them she was OK.
The former officer said that “almost 300” other officers have left the force since the riots.
She added:
“There’s so much we lost that was more than bricks and mortar.”
Judge Schiltz said that William had “done everything right” since his arrest and that he was the first to plead guilty out of the four men. The judge added that it was “easy to understand” why the death of George Floyd affected Williams, but that time in prison is warranted because of Williams’ role in the riot.
Williams must surrender to go to prison by July 13th.
Compare and contrast the treatment of this arsonist, versus people who dared to trespass in the Capitol on Jan 6.
His Mom sayz:
“He’s a Good Boy, a very Good Boy....”
With Schlitz and Bush, you’re outta real Beer.
He must give his Mom half of everything he steals.

Even the judges are in on the “He dindu nuffins. He a good boy.” Pathetic. Meanwhile anyone within 10 miles of the capitol sewage complex is rotting away in a solitary confinement room sans bail for a minor trespassing misdemeanor.
democrats always protect their soldiers. This is just another example of the use of lawfare to execute warfare against us.
Agree. We held out for a long time but the other side doesn't play by the rules or respect the law so it's all over now.
Putting Jan.6th demonstrators in solitary confinement and labelling them AND US "domestic terrorists" posing the "worst threat" to the country, but, allowing this kind of BLM type to get a light sentence as an incentive to burn more buildings down, is -----wrong.
Otherwise known as I.M.A. Moron.
Exactly. “Good” people don’t set fire to buildings.
People who were raised on participation trophies and time-outs might, though. Most of those were never taught manners, respect for others or that actions can have consequences.
This dumbass judge is just reinforcing that.
I know!!!
I was shocked that anyone is going to prison.
I’ll take what we can get. If the guy is sincere, maybe he’ll straighten out.
But at least SOMEONE IS GOING TO PRISON.
I’ll count that as a blessing.
Thanks for the tip/research.
For example, I woke up one morning on a person's front porch in S.E. Washington D.C. on a mattress. I knocked on thee door and an older black lady answered the door. I profusely apologized for my falling out on her porch. She smiled and said no problem, I put the mattress out there for you. To which I thanked her and went on my way. 8>)
“State guidelines”. Terrible reporting. There are no such thing as “state guidelines” in US District Court. At least there weren’t the last 50 times I have appeared there...
Yet they keep arresting people at the Jan. 6 DC protests. A young man I know just got arrested toda.
Oh, good grief.
