Minnesota officials have identified suspected white supremacists and out-of-state protesters as the source of much of the violence and widespread damage in the Twin Cities.

IF Minnesota officials have indeed been monitoring white supremacists online, and knew they were inciting violence, WHY DID THEY ARREST A CNN NEWS CREW?
ALSO, this man who broke windows at AutoZone was clearly not a protester.
He calmly walked up, broke windows, calmly left. He is wearing a professional-grade mask.
He shielded himself from drone surveillance with an umbrella. He forgot about newsrooms-in-a-smartphone.
Here’s the full video (that was my screen grab above)
Two people claimed to recognize him because that hot pink face mask is distinctive.
Two departments (St Paul and Eagan) state that this man is not employed by them.
Can he be IDed by the respirator?
Google thinks that this is a Honeywell North full face respirator

It doesn't appear quite right, but nothing else in Google image search against this image comes close (shape, size, color).
His looks like a combo Honeywell + this from NYPD officer from 2014

We now know that Minnesota officials were blowing smoke, at least as far as arrests are concerned.
Everything else in this thread is valid, so I am hesitant to delete the lead tweet.
