So far as I can tell, Umbrella Man has not been arrested. He remains at large. Libor did not identify him in his July 28 story because he has not been charged. I have been waiting to write about Umbrella Man until he was arrested, but this will have to serve as a marker until that time.

Officer Christensen’s account of events is taken at face value in the numerous news accounts that immediately followed the Star Tribune story last week, but it is ludicrous. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is responsible for the key event that led to the destruction wrought throughout the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd. The key event was the abandonment of the Third Precinct headquarters on May 28.

Mayor Frey too remains at large. His dereliction is not illegal.
