Minnesota man hit with arson charge after police precinct burned down in George Floyd riots
[FoxNews] Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, of St. Paul, was charged in federal court with aiding and abetting arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct, the Justice Department said. The station was set on fire during May 28 rioting that began after Floyd's death while in Minneapolis police custody days earlier. Rioters broke into the precinct around 10 p.m. and sparked a fire after police officers on the roof were rescued by helicopter.
Federal prosecutors said St. Paul police officers were called on June 3 to a Menards home improvement store after Wolfe was seen wearing body armor with his name written on duct tape, a law enforcement belt and a baton in the store. The belt had handcuffs and a knife attached. Officers responded and arrested Wolfe.
He was fired from his security guard position at the store hours earlier after he referred to social media posts about him stealing items from the police precinct. Additional items -- including a 9mm pistol, police radio, riot helmet and a police-issued overdose kit -- were recovered from his apartment, according to federal prosecutors.

National Guard begins to pull back after historic response to unrest over George Floyd's death
[FoxNews] Governors and mayors in more than two dozen states activated the National Guard last month to respond to protests that in some cases escalated into violent riots.
A Pentagon official told Fox News on Tuesday that the National Guard saw its high-water mark several days ago, and that there will be a “very steady decline” in the coming days as states "out-process" those National Guard forces on duty.
As of Tuesday, according to the official, 38,498 National Guard soldiers were still active — a decline from the 43,300 active on Saturday.
