People on the ground that I knew were saying that there were agent provocateurs. I was initially skeptical, but the evidence shows that there were white supremacists and Boogaloo boys that were trying to start shit.

He is of course briefed by all of the Federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and he is probably well-apprised of white-supremacist plots to foment chaos.

My fear tonight has been that such miscreants might commit acts of arson and vandalism here in Minneapolis, and try to make it look like it was done by overzealous celebrants rejoicing in the verdict.

So far, nothing. So far, so good.
