Demonstrations have been infiltrated by white extremists hellbent on destroying property, vandalizing businesses, torching police cars and leaving the blame with the Black community.
As peaceful protests continue in response to the police killing of George Floydand Brenona Taylor, non-violent demonstrations have been infiltrated by white extremists hellbent on destroying property, vandalizing businesses, torching police cars and leaving the blame with the Black community.
During a press conference on Saturday morning (May 30), Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison took the stage together to share new information about the protests, and specifically the looting and violence that accompanied them.
"The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents," Mayor Frey said. "They are coming in largely from outside of the city, from outside of the region to prey on everything that we have built over the last several decades."
Ellison cited a now-viral video of a white man in a gas mask holding an umbrella who was caught by protesters breaking windows of a local AutoZone. Some believe the man to be an undercover cop, though that detail has not yet been verified.
Additionally, MSNBCs Joy Reid tweeted that white nationalist groups are posting messages promoting that they use the protests to get our loot on and cause mayhem. Mayor Carter says the states top officials discovered that the white nationalist mayhem starters are throwing incendiary devices and then running behind actual protesters to use them as a human shield.
Vice reports that numerous militia, anti-government and white supremacist groups have shown up to protests across America. The latter group is allegedly hoping to use the tensions between them, law enforcement and police violence protesters as the spark of a race war.
Here are 13 viral videos showing who is really doing the vandalizing and looting around the country.

I can't get the video's to copy--my computer is once again asserting its independence. Damn Twitter! If anyone else can assist, please do.
