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."

What we do know is, is that as long as the people do not mind their buildings being burned down. They will continue to burn them. They will stop when the people stop them. Or the people can continue to cling to their fantasy that the police will protect them. The police are now there to control the sheep, not protect them. If the wolf wants a lamb to chew on, he can have them.
The rioters? The police have their orders to protect them from the sheep. When necessary they are to assist them but in no way are they to interfere with the rioters as they go about doing their work.
I would like see them go to Plant City, Florida. I don't know how much damage they would do. Probably not much. But I do know that a hell of a lot less of them would be leaving on their feet than arrived on their feet.

Duh!
“The Commie organized Riots are their next attempt to oust our President. “
We have had Commie organized riots on and off since the 1800’s.
The FBI has been pushing and pushing for years to have the tech giants build their apps and devices with encryption backdoors for law enforcement. Don't be surprised if this is what actually makes it happen.
Unnamed?
Yet the President named them.
Aunt Teefa
That isn’t unnamed unless...
You are politically skeert of them.
Or, you are harboring the enemy.
Life is a movie.
Free Wakanda!
The DNC is likely one of the “unnamed.”
True, they know it’s anifa. NYPD intel is better than the Feebs’. My guess is PC Shea wants the proof to be incontrovertible before naming names. Plus I believe he and his commanders are actively trying to open a divide between those protesting Floyd’s murder and those formenting revolution. Plus he is unsure of his boss and he serves at the pleasure of the mayor. Dermot Shea IMO right now is the the guy who is at the focal point.
So, the vaunted NYC counter-terrorism group is, what, asleep?
Really? All these riots and looting is in Democrat controlled cities and States? Really? No riot in Republican States. Well stick me in an oven and call me a biscuit, I never saw that coming.
well looking at all these cops kneeling like the cowards they are in front of “protesters” all around the country, just know the communists have turned every law enforcement agency from the feds to the locals against us.
Leftists are anarchists by nature.
No shit sherlock. Think the BLM riots in London are equally spontaneous??
At the end of the day the law enforcement and feds will serve the hand that feeds them.
So WTF do we have a Homeland Security department for? I thought Bush forced that on us, and compromised our personal privacy, so these types of insurrections would be identified and quashed. (Thanks for nothin”, Dubya!)
NYC always has been a target for attacks on the US by foreign and domestic evildoers. The fact that the terrorists were able to pull this off so easily, and in such rudimentary ways, is UNacceptable!
If they had been perusing FR for the past decade, they wouldn't "be surprised" at this...
