In warning that “outside agitators” had infiltrated local protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by Minneapolis police, state officials outlined a list of concerning developments, including cars stripped of their license plates driving around town.

But at least one case charged Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court showed that a group of mostly local young men were riding in one of the mysterious vehicles.

Police allegedly recovered two guns, a hammer and an “electric griding tool” from the men.

Authorities charged Junior G. Smith, 24, of Rochester; Augustine Z. Livingstone, 22, of Ramsey, Minn.; and Peter Shin, 29, of St. Paul.

Each face one count of second-degree riot, armed with a dangerous weapon.

State authorities warned at a Sunday news conference focused heavily on the alleged threat of outsiders that such cars had been found loaded with rocks and weapons, and that caches of incendiaries had been discovered near sites of protests and vandalism.

They later backed off the claims after some arrest data didn’t support the claim that outsiders were the bulk of the troublemakers.

According to the complaint against the three suspects: Minneapolis police were responding to looting and someone with a gun near Pillsbury Avenue S. and E. Lake Street about 12:50 a.m. Sunday.

“The area was recently subject to many instances of arson, structure fires, burglary, looting, assaults, vehicles driving with no license plates at high speed, and other riotous activities,” the charges said.

The city was under a curfew issued by Gov. Tim Walz that went into effect at 8 p.m. in an attempt to curb widespread vandalism and arson that ultimately damaged more than 300 businesses in the metro.

Police saw a Mercedes sedan with no visible license plates speed down Lake Street.

The car turned onto Pillsbury Avenue, pulled into a parking area and backed out onto Pillsbury, the charges said.

“Officers ordered the vehicle to stop with guns drawn,” according to the complaint.

The vehicle’s occupants complied.

Police ordered the men out of the vehicle and found Smith with a loaded pistol in his waistband, the charges said.

Smith also allegedly carried a backpack containing a hammer and spray paint.

Shin allegedly had a backpack with a firearm and an “electric grinding tool,” the charges said.

Livingstone was allegedly driving.

A fourth man who was not charged told police he was from Portland, Oregon, and traveled to Minnesota to witness the protests.

Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington on Sunday said authorities had intercepted such cars, which often had their lights turned off and windows blacked out.

Some suspects fled while others were arrested, he said, adding that he didn’t have “any credible evidence of any specific group being here in Minnesota.”

On Monday, Matthew Lee Rupert, 28, of Galesburg, Ill. was charged in federal court for traveling to Minnesota to riot.

He allegedly lit a store on fire and looted an Office Depot.
What's your source for them being white?
The first thing he jumps on.

I have no expectations regarding the makeup of the group, but the “hey wait a minute now” footstomp is hilarious, end of sentence.
Not trying to be a dick, but there’s no mention of race and no mugshots in the Star Tribune article he quoted. Just trying to figure out if he knows they’re white or assumes they are because it fits the white agitator narrative with which he’s aligned himself.

You strike me as very ideology-resistant. Responsive to the needs of the moment, but not the curvature of the messaging. If SJW impulses pervade among pragmatists, cultural conservatism is in collapse.

Could we get some clarity on why license plates, vehicle registration, and car insurance are "required" by the state but not consistently enforced?

I agree that there’s no reason to assume race, absent specific reporting (Strat may be saying that these reports match his friends’ reports that included descriptions of white drivers, but I don’t assume that). That’s totally fair. I just don’t agree that it’s the crucial detail to resolve. Nobody is arguing that their actions would be justified or cool if they weren’t white.

Far as I can tell a lot of these agitators doing the damage are mostly white and always seem to have skateboards yet clearly beyond an age to be a skateboarder
Weird that. There’s no way the guy in this video who is easily late 20s early 30s is a skateboarder yet he’s even dressed like one.

Read that in Montana you can become a cop after a 12 week course. In Baltimore, the police education is 6,5 months. LA is similar, but in Chicago and New York, you need two years higher education or military service to make it.

They ended up here in Lakewood by the end of the night. Looked like they were all on the younger side and it was encouraging to see the police from the district 1 HQ coming out to talk with them.
