A white supremacist channel on Telegram encouraged followers to incite violence during police brutality protests by 'shooting in a crowd,' according to internal DHS memo

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

One of the messages in the channel called for potential shooters to "frame the crowd around you" for the violence, the note said, according to Politico. The DHS note warning of white supremacist linked violence was circulated among law enforcement officials, Politico reported. Citing the FBI, it said that two days after Floyd's death, the channel "incited followers to engage in violence and start the 'boogaloo' — a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War — by shooting in a crowd."

The memo pointed to "previous incidents of domestic terrorists exploiting First Amendment-protected events" as one of the reasons the DHS is keeping an eye out for additional violence by "domestic terrorist actors."on Monday that Twitter had identified a group posing as an "antifa" organization calling for violence in the protests as actually being linked to the white supremacist group Identity Evropa.

Some protests have involved smaller groups looting businesses and, in a few cases, setting fire to buildings and cars. On Monday, a Blackhawk helicopter with US Army markings was seen flying low over Washington, DC, in a "show of force" against protesters. The New York Times reported that the helicopter descended to rooftop level, kicked up dirt and debris, and snapped trees that narrowly missed several people.
