It turns out that the bloke who fired shots into a police station during the George Floyd protests was a white supremacist trying to gin up conflict for a race war<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was a part of the “Boogaloo” crowd.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if I would call this a false flag operation, but if it isn’t it’s false flag, it certainly is false flag’s next door neighbor.<\/p>\n

In the wake of protests following the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a member of the Boogaloo Bois opened fire on the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct with an AK-47-style gun and screamed \u201cJustice for Floyd\u201d as he ran away, according to a federal complaint made public Friday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A sworn affidavit by the FBI underlying the complaint reveals new details about a far-right anti-government group\u2019s coordinated role in the violence <\/a>that roiled through civil unrest over Floyd\u2019s death while in police custody. <\/p>\n

Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, is charged with one count of interstate travel to incite a riot for his alleged role in ramping up violence during the protests in Minneapolis on May 27 and 28. According to charges, Hunter, wearing a skull mask and tactical gear, shot 13 rounds at the south Minneapolis police headquarters while people were inside. He also looted and helped set the building ablaze, according to the complaint, which was filed Monday under seal.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It does seem that a disproportionate number of these interstate terrorist types come from Texas, huh? <\/p>\n

Unrest flared throughout Minneapolis following Floyd\u2019s death, which was captured on a bystander\u2019s cellphone video, causing Gov. Tim Walz to activate the Minnesota National Guard. As police clashed with protesters, Hunter and other members of the Boogaloo Bois discussed in private Facebook messages their plans to travel to Minneapolis and rally at the Cub Foods near the Third Precinct building, according to federal court documents. One of the people Hunter coordinated with posted publicly to social media: \u201cLock and load boys. Boog flags are in the air, and the national network is going off,\u201d the complaint states. <\/p>\n

Two hours after the police precinct was set on fire, Hunter texted with another Boogaloo member in California, a man named Steven Carrillo. <\/p>\n

\u201cGo for police buildings,\u201d Hunter told Carrillo, according to charging documents.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Carrillo has a bit of a story as well:<\/p>\n

Five days later, Carrillo shot and killed a sheriff\u2019s deputy<\/a> in Santa Cruz when authorities tried to arrest him, according to charges filed in California. Authorities say he then stole a car and wrote \u201cBoog\u201d on the hood \u201cin what appeared to be his own blood.\u201d <\/p>\n

A couple of days later, during police protests in Austin, Texas, police pulled over a truck after seeing three men in tactical gear and carrying guns drive away in it. Hunter, in the front passenger seat, wore six loaded banana magazines for an AK-47-style assault rifle on his tactical vest, according federal authorities. The two other men had AR-15 magazines affixed to their vests. The officers found an AK-47-style rifle and two AR-15 rifles on the rear seat of the vehicle, a pistol next to the driver\u2019s seat and another pistol in the center console. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hunter denied he owned any of the weapons found in the vehicle. He did, according to the complaint, volunteer that he was the leader of the Boogaloo Bois in South Texas and that he was present in Minneapolis when the Third Precinct was set on fire. Police seized the guns and let Hunter and the others go. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Once again, we see the cops sghowing favoritism to white supremacist terrorists, even though these same terrorists are the ones who are disproportionately likely to kill cops.<\/p>\n

Thin blue line, my ass.<\/p>\n

Hunter is the third member of the Boogaloo Bois<\/a>, a loose-knit group intent on igniting a second American civil war, to be charged in Minneapolis as a result of the unrest that followed Floyd\u2019s death. <\/p>\n

Michael Robert Solomon and Benjamin Ryan Teeter were indicted in September<\/a> with conspiracy to provide material support to Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
