.@FrankFigliuzzi1 saying now that the "global anarchy" movement may be moving into American cities to wreak havoc in these protests, along with the "boogaloo boys" -- white nationalists who are hoping to spark a race war, and domestic anarchists.
Frank repeated that the antifacists are "loosely organized groups" and not an "organization." Same info he has helpfully been giving on @msnbc for days, including on #amjoy.

Frank also mentioned the "black block," which others have as well. Here is a good video summary of what they are.
Not confirmble that this is what we see here, but at minimum this was activity unwanted by real protesters.

“George Floyd was a healthy young man,” family attorney @AttorneyCrump says. After 9 minutes of asphyxiation under the knee and body weight of officer Chauvin, while three other cops helped restrain him or stood by, “the ambulance was his hearse.” @MSNBC
Crump adds that George Floyd’s family wants first degree murder for all four fired officers.
The family used legendary pathologist Michael Baden to do the private autopsy.

It is 2020. The U.S. president has suggested sicking "vicious dogs" on Americans, revived the 1960s racist police chief line: "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" and hidden in a White House bunker, and Senator Tom Cotton wants to turn the military's guns on Americans.
U.S. cities are on fire, and there is increasing evidence that it is because white nationalist and anarchist groups are descending on the legitimate protests over the killing of black people by police, the latest victim being George Floyd, but the number being too many to name.

What's weird is that if you spelled out what the acronym for this loose movement called "antifa" stands for and rewrite Trump's tweet accordingly, it would read: "The United States of America will be designating anti-fascists as a Terrorist Organization."
Meanwhile, apparently **not** terrorists in Trump's America ... vice.com/en_us/article/…
Apparently perfectly ok by the president ... splcenter.org/unite-the-right
