A man has been arrested and charged for his alleged role in setting fire to the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct amid citywide protests over the death of George Floyd.

Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 22, of Brainerd, Minnesota, was located by federal investigators in the Denver area on June 12 and was captured two days later in Breckenridge, Colorado. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota announced Tuesday a federal criminal complaint against Robinson, charging him with aiding and abetting arson.

On the night of May 28, three days after Floyd died in police custody, the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct was overrun and heavily damaged from vandalism and arson. The building, which police had abandoned, went up in flames after a group of protesters pushed through barriers and smashed windows. Authorities subsequently determined that multiple separate fires had been started inside the building, according to the complaint.

Surveillance video from the Third Precinct shows two individuals ignite a petrol bomb and lob it at the building. One of the individuals can be seen throwing a second one at the building. Investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were later able to identify Robinson in the footage, according to the complaint.

1. Anyone seen a picture of this guy?

From what I can tell in the pictures at the site, he's white. Not one of the protesters, I would guess, not even a white ally.

I was watching that night, and I immediately thought there was a crowd there that had nothing to do with the protests but were only there to cause trouble. They seemed giddily happy at the destruction.

At the time, I thought anarchists. I had no idea right wing groups were behind the violence. I'll bet this guy is one or the other.

Googled him: yup, both white. I see no mention of memberships in any organizations.

3. Check into his browser history

and I'll bet you'll find he's a Booger wannabe, at the very least.

Funny that he needed his dudebros to tell him how to make such a simple thing.

4. Brainerd is 125 miles northwest of Mnpls. 93% white.

They're like 12 black in a population of 14,000.


...not exactly a liberal bastion outside the big city.

5. The two suspects in that arson are both white guys. The 2nd suspect in burning

down the 3rd precinct:




First suspect arrested:




And the suspect arrested for burning five cop cars is a white woman:

Yet right wingers use this sort of action as proof that black protesters are violent and irredeemable.

17. The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov

The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, or guns, pretending to be protesters.

And now Trumpsters pretending to be part of BLM protests.
