Minneapolis police have identified a suspect whom they believe helped initiate the riots and destruction in the city following the killing of George Floyd.

According to a search warrant filed earlier this week, which was obtained by CNN affiliate WCCO, the man is associated with the"Aryan Cowboys," which the Anti-Defamation League lists as a White supremacist prison and street gang. The warrant does not label them as a White supremacist group, but describes them as a"known prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky." On its Facebook page, the group says it does not care,"about a person's color.

— Mayor Jacob Frey May 30, 2020 "We are now confronting white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region," Frey tweeted on May 30. A tip helped uncover his identity, warrant says Christensen said in the warrant that police recently received a tip regarding the identity of"Umbrella Man.

Nothing to see here. Just Biden’s peaceful protesters

Good

Finally we got them to say riots

Tak about soft bigotry of low expectations. The police take it just as normal that after he broke the Windows thr looting and burning started. The Umbrella man is responsible for what he did, not for what some others did later.

Republicans guide to Antifa

The police they defunded? Guess they won't get around to finding out who started the 'destruction'. (I wonder if there's another word for that) 🤔

The African American that confronted him was a part of the act too. They have video of them walking together where the first/main video ends. They need to look at all the video and get the other dude that was involved!!!

Love how they can find this in a few months time but ignored the officers long list of complaints for excessive force. Ffs come on 🤦🏽‍♂️

Weird, and you refuse to say we need to stop these riots and trump wants them stopped. Black people are thinking....dems and white people are working against us again, and trump wants to stop people making us look bad

How dumb do we think we are that they would blame thisnon a white supremacist? After all, theres no violence among black people. Right?

George Floyd was a blessed Father/Dad. But Police Officer should be Pushiment 4 What he did wrong.

aside from the murdering police officer kneeling 8:43 on someone's neck while looking proudly in the camera you mean?

Did nothing to stop the riots.

There is a very solid point for you existing. For one, I enjoy making fon of you. Or, I guess, you making light of me.

Oh, now they're riots.. What the hell took so long?

Oh really! And where did you pluck this guy from?

Which riot are you guys talking about ? These are very peaceful protest seeking justice for George Floyd. Infact they were so peaceful that candies and popcorn were handing to residence while they were entertained with different music and dance. Big outdoor party.

Says the media which incited the riots via their non-stop inflammatory propaganda

Not terribly surprised that right-wingnuts are instigating hidden inside legitimate protests. Left-wingnuts have done the same in reverse in the past. All rioting wingnuts (right and left) should be jailed and their organisations dismantled.

Fake news. Total bullshit.

Minnesota Twins hold moment of silence for George Floyd at 8:46The time is significant because George Floyd died May 25 in police custody in Minneapolis after an officer had his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds, despite the 46-year-old Black man saying he couldn't breathe. I can't think of a more absurd display of virtue signaling. You mean when a person known to Floyd, who he worked with & had prior disagreements, placed a knee on his neck killing him to ease his ego Get it right & don't make it racial Literally tied of Floyd's name being dragged into a RACIAL war when y'all know dame we it was personal Doesn't matter if he is a criminal. Nothing like this should happen to anyone, anywhere. If this was my brother i would have attacked the cops. But sometimes karma is a bitch.
