Minneapolis police say 'Umbrella Man' was a white supremacist trying to incite George Floyd rioting

A masked man who was seen in a viral video smashing the windows of a south Minneapolis auto parts store during the George Floyd protests, earning him the moniker "Umbrella Man," is suspected of ties with a white supremacist group and sought to incite racial tension, police said.

A Minneapolis police arson investigator said the act of vandalism at the AutoZone on E. Lake Street helped spark a chain reaction that led to days of looting and rioting. The store was among dozens of buildings across the city that burned to the ground in the days that followed.

I think pretty much anyone still participating in these so called protests at this point are inciting riots. And the damage and destruction being done across this country is certainly not to limited to this one racist white guy but by hateful racist people of all colors.

We're having issues in my area between BLM protests and ALM protesters/Proud Boys. At last weekends protest one of the ALM guys pulled his gun out, and shot it into the air.

At this point, they’re all instigators.....

Apparently, that individual also has ties to Hells Angels. But I will wait until the investigation is complete enough for a name to be released before I believe anything the media puts out there.
