OFFS. Of course he did. nolabear May 2020 #60
Witnesses said this dude looked like a cop. SunSeeker May 2020 #62
Lots of speculation on him. nolabear May 2020 #65
And he looks like he's about 40 years old. This ain't no kid. SunSeeker May 2020 #71
Yeah he was threatening for sure. No "you and me, Brother" vibe. nolabear May 2020 #76
Whoever he is, he only busted the windows and walked away, UNTIL some protesters called him Jamastiene May 2020 #68
Yup. He was just there to cause destruction...and avoid detection. SunSeeker May 2020 #69

I disagree, looks like as they walk away from this at normal speed that they're just chillin' Alex4Martinez May 2020 #105
So you hear pink guy warning protestors man in black is a cop, and you think they're in cahoots? SunSeeker May 2020 #107
I don't think so... Watch the vid where's he's breaking the windows... MartyTheGreek May 2020 #118
