White supremacists attending George Floyd protests, Minnesota officials believe

Officials in Minnesota believe that white supremacist “agitators” were inciting chaos at protests against police brutality and the killing of George Floyd.

The Minnesota state corrections department said on Sunday that white supremacists were thought to be attending demonstrations in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and making chaos.

“They’re agitators,” said Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell on those who have caused destruction during demonstrations.

Mr Schnell added that authorities were moving to break up demonstrations so that outside “agitators” could not create chaos.

Minnesota governor Tim Walz announced on Sunday that the state’s curfew would be extended into Monday morning to allow law enforcement to continue targeting “those who meant to do harm”.

Mr Walz added on Twitter that authorities had made several arrests whilst seizing weapons, narcotics, long guns, handguns, magazines and knives.

“We have reason to believe that bad actors continue to infiltrate the rightful protests of George Floyd’s murder, which is why we are extending the curfew by one day,” announced the governor overnight.

Minnesota corrections department commissioner John Harrington also announced later on Sunday that authorities had located several caches of flammable materials.

Mr Harringon added: “The fact that we’ve seen so many of them in so many places now makes us believe that this is part of that pattern that shows that this in fact an organised activity and not some random act of rage”.

It comes amid accusations that outside groups are behind the destruction witnessed in cities across the US, and in Minneapolis where Mr Floyd was killed in police custody last week.

Yes it is white agitators causing the problem— but they are neo-Bolsheviks.

IN SEARCH OF THE ELUSIVE WHITE NATIONALIST

Minnesota House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler holds a position of great power and perfectly represents the DFL brand in state politics. From the minute a tanker truck driver landed among “protesters” walking north on the bridge through downtown Minneapolis on Highway 35W last night, Winkler couldn’t wait to declare that he had finally found the elusive white nationalist sought in the maelstrom of destruction that hit us last week. The truck driver has been charged with assault, though “it is still…unclear whether the event was intentional or accidental” and the driver himself was pulled from the truck and assaulted when the truck came to a stop. The local CBS affiliate reports the story here.

Widely sought in connection with the wave of terrorism that hit the Twin Cities last week, the elusive white nationalist has yet to be sighted. The incident was replayed over and over on local television last night, yet it never matched up with Winkler’s fevered tweet, now deleted.

And...

That Story About “Outsiders” Rioting Didn’t Age Well

so these whites are now upset over a death of a black man. They then make black power signs, shout the usual left wing no justice no peace crap. They then wear Antifa clothing, and leave graffiti like the A for anarchy.
On top of this Biden staffers and others are donating money to these white supremacists.

Yea OK.

I read past the headline and didn't see any proof.

Perhaps you could summarize what I missed.

They’re agitators. So does that mean that all those home folks were duped? Gimme a break.
