FBI says arrest of man handing out “bionic shield” masks to Los Angeles rioters just the beginning

The FBI now says the arrest of the man handing out “bionic shield” masks to Los Angeles rioters is just the beginning—pointing to a larger network of individuals organizing, funding, and supporting the riots.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli called the riots “highly orchestrated and coordinated,” vowing to uncover the source behind it all.

He says this arrest is the first major step in unraveling the operation.
