But a Reuters examination of federal court records related to the charges, social media posts by some of the suspects and interviews with defence lawyers and prosecutors found mostly disorganised acts of violence by people who have few obvious connections to antifa or other left-wing groups. The policeman, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with second-degree murder, and three other officers with aiding and abetting.
The three suspects are scheduled to appear in federal court on Monday and have not yet entered a plea. Their lawyers did not respond to requests for comment.In three other criminal complaints, individuals told police about their ideological leanings without claiming allegiance to any particular group.
Ca’Quintez Gibson, 26, was arrested for allegedly using Facebook live posts and emoji-filled messages to encourage people to loot in Peoria, Illinois. But John Milhiser, the US attorney in Springfield, Illinois, whose office is prosecuting the case, told Reuters that Gibson had “no connection” with any political group or motive. Gibson’s attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.
In the rest of the cases, no serious violence was alleged, Reuters found. Some of those arrested were charged only with possessing illegal drugs or firearms.
