30 Apr 2021
A 23-year-old white male will spend the next four years in prison and pay a $12 million fine for his part in helping to burn a Minneapolis police station in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder.
On the night of May 28, 2020, Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, helped ignite a Molotov cocktail for another person to throw at the MPD Third Precinct Headquarters, according to the
Daily Mail and federal statements on the case. Prosecutors said he was part of a four-man conspiracy to commit arson on the building and also helped tear down perimeter fencing at the site.
In addition to a $12 million fine, Robinson was also sentenced to four years in prison.

Robinson reportedly boasted about the crime as he was committing it on his Snapchat account, saying at one point, “These guys have never made a Molotov. . Rookies.”
“Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction,” acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk said about the case. “The arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct put lives at risk and contributed to widespread lawlessness in Minneapolis.”

The U.S. government is planning to bring federal civil rights charges against former Minneapolispolice officers Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, according to a Minneapolis Star Tribune report.
A week after Chauvin was found guilty of the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd, the Star Tribune reported that the Justice Department had been gathering evidence for months and had developed a contingency plan to arrest Chauvin at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis if there was a mistrial or if the jury failed to convict him on all three counts.
