With a glimpse of his upper face AND a voice sample, it’s hardly far-fetched to imagine that someone who knows the guy could identify him; and someone claimed to do so. But whether he’s been identified with certainty, or whether he’s a cop, _are largely irrelevant._ We KNOW he’s a white man, and can presume his purpose was to instigate a riot that would backfire on blacks. His demeanor was NOT that of a drunkard or “redneck” but of a cold calculating operative. We may not know whether that white criminal was a cop, or a MAGA nut, or working for the GOP, Kremlin, or Koch Brothers. But his crime is one of several pieces of evidence that point clearly to anti-black criminals deliberately inciting the riots. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Yes, and so? He is also apparently a male. Yes, he is white, which is why my guess is that he is a Anarchist. We still dont know who he is. You must be right. I cannot think of a single other organization that white males belong to. Good job! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/supporting-floyd-and-blm-while-opposing-violence/854860.md?page=2)
