it appears umbrella guy was present for at least SOME of the graffiti on the AutoZone prior to his smashing of windows. Timeseries below:

:48 no graffiti
4:47 incomplete
4:58 walking away first time
returns+walks away several more times
13:57 post-smash, graffiti complete.
A reddit user found these stills, I haven't confirmed the last frame's provenance yet, but the first three appear legit.

Note the similarity between the graffiti at AutoZone and on the wall of Target.

I hope someone managed to get a paint sample from Autozone before it burned down.
This shit is just getting weirder.

Shows both Umbrella smasher + pink shirt guy walking off towards Target.

Interesting, pink shirt guy traded his backpack for a pizza box at some point during the day.

In case you wonder why it matters who provokes the violence, there was a great discussion with @chrislhayes tonight -

Both left+right agree the murder of Floyd was inhuman.

But those who don't want the balance of power to shift need to change the subject on right wing media.
Inauthentic actors posing as those in the minority stir up violence, which allows right-wing media to change the subject from meaningful dialogue that could drive change to outrage against the rage.

This is critical to interrupt the feedback loop that would naturally spin out.
Change the debate, and you avoid the solutions that we would naturally arrive at.

Bonus: it drives an even deeper wedge between ethnic groups, exacerbating social stratification... and further entrenching the divisions between "self" and "other."

And those in power keep it.

Interesting - it seems umbrella window-smasher arrived on scene at 5:28 from Target/Wendys, walking in just as the tear gas started flowing, hung for ~10 min while a Maserati hung out, started hammering after it drove off.

When he arrives on site, he turns right immediately, towards the windows.

It seems he stands there along the windows for the next 10 mins, until another volley of tear gas drives protestors towards the AutoZone parking lot.
He then leaves in the same direction he arrived from, walking directly towards the Target parking lot.

Reviewing additional video from the area now, it's a pain to match up without timestamps - but it can be done.

Want to make justice happen?

Target's HQ is in Minneapolis.

Stop shopping at Target until those four officers are behind bars.
Protesting in the streets right now is counterproductive & dangerous.

Trump WANTS to see black people in the streets, exposing them to COVID19 and increasing the potential for violence, especially in blue states.

He wants death, so he can take electoral votes.

Why Target?

Target is the biggest revenue generator in Minneapolis, and it's one that people across the country can work together to influence.

If the decision to not charge the officers is political in any way, Target has the resources to force that change.
