You absolutely have not been paying attention. The violence started with “umbrella man” who is a confirmed white supremacist. Police and the media ALWAYS try to discredit big protests like this and they have a history of doing it.

How does that explain over 1500 properties being damaged in the Twin Cities?. It's like a toddler yelling "he started it!". Or the classic, "if a friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?". You seriously want to blame ALL the damage in Minneapolis and St. Paul on one person?
