The importance of phrasing:
While "most people were peaceful," <pause> the chief said about 400 protesters, "hundreds of rocks," bottles, full-size bricks and chunks of materials were thrown at police.

(This is from a week ago.)
It's amazing how predictable the cries of "white anarchists" and "outside agitators" are at the first signs of insurrection.
MPD has such a good relationship with the black community of Minneapolis, it must have been those anarchists
i understand what you're saying but at the same time, let's not point a finger at anyone.
I always crack up when I see headlines like this. There's really not that many anarchists in the US in the big picture, the vast majority of the ones who are here are generally peaceful or at most minorly disruptive, and yet we still manage to get scapegoated for literally fucking everything.
That and the people saying this always seem to ignore the fact that not all anarchists are white.
They can't blame everything on minority because they know it would be moot. Can't blame terrorist because they know it's full of bullshit. So they need something new to blame on, and anarchist happened to be it.

No doubt it's from a week ago but I hadn't heard mention of it.
