Minneapolis, MN — Amidst the peaceful protesting over the killing of George Floyd, CBS News and Fox 9 have confirmed that most of the rioters and violent protesters in Minneapolis are linked to white supremacist groups.
According to the Department of Safety Commissioner John Harrington, most of the arrests are in fact linked to white nationalist groups that encourage members online to take advantage of the protests to make chaos.
However, he added, “There seems to be another group that is using Mr. Floyd’s death as a cover to create havoc.”
According to CourtHouseNews.com, even Minnesota Governor Tim Walz suspects that white supremacist groups and drug cartels are carrying out some of the violence in Minneapolis.
“Our great cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault by people who do not share our values, who do not value life and the work that went into this and are certainly not here to honor George Floyd,” he said in a press conference.
