A warrant was served on lockers of officers involved in Floyd's murder, then building burned down

New: BCA wanted to search officers' 3rd Pct lockers & Officer Thao's work phone stored there, as is routine. Warrant was signed Thu night. Minutes later, police abandoned building and it was set ablaze. Unclear what role this played in timing; whether evidence was obtained.

When I say “unclear what role this played in timing” I mean: perhaps they were holding the crowd off long enough to allow BCA to execute the warrant to clear out the lockers; or perhaps there was no connection at all.


Here's the PDF showing the search warrant was applied for just over 72 hours after George Floyd was killed, and signed by a judge on May 28, 2020 at 9:50 p.m. (The filing date on the top right corner is just when it was docketed in the court system.)




Ok, could be a coincidence. A lot of other buildings were also set on fire but it stinks.
