Videos from New York City, Kansas City, Dallas and Fayetteville in North Carolina all appear to show piles of bricks unattended in the middle of protests

Officials are investigating whether extremist groups have infiltrated the protests

Pallets of bricks have 'randomly' appeared during protests across the US this weekend, sparking theories they were planted to stoke violence. 
Those taking part in demonstrations against police brutality and the death of black man George Floyd have reported finding large stashes of the makeshift weapons on streets. 

Videos from New York City, Kansas City, Dallas and Fayetteville in North Carolina all appear to show piles of bricks unattended in the middle of protests. 
The footage has led to suggestions the slabs were either planted by police or by extremists to overshadow peaceful protests over the death of Floyd, a black man who pleaded for air as white police officer Derek Chauvin pressed a knee into his neck for almost nine minutes.

In Dallas, Instagram user RuebenGotSoul documented a large pile of bricks stacked up in front of the city's courthouse. 'The Dallas protest was a lot of things. But I was very disappointed to see this RANDOM stack of bricks in front of the courthouse. #setup,' he remarked

Police in Kansas City said in a tweet Sunday that they had discovered large piles of bricks and rocks in and around the Country Club Plaza and Westport that had been placed strategically to ‘be used in the riot’.
‘If you see anything like this, you can text 911 and let us know so we can remove them. This keeps everyone safe and allows your voice to continue to be heard,’ the Kansas City Police Department wrote.
Similarly, in New York City, video captured the moment rioters in Manhattan chanced upon a cache of bricks between St. Marks Place and Seventh Street in the East Village on Sunday evening, though no construction site appeared to be nearby.
The account that uploaded the clip remarked that ‘videos continue to surface showing protesters stumbling upon pallets of bricks or pavers in areas with no construction taking place.’


In Dallas, Instagram user RuebenGotSoul documented a large pile of bricks stacked up in front of the city's courthouse.
'The Dallas protest was a lot of things. But I was very disappointed to see this RANDOM stack of bricks in front of the courthouse. #setup,' he remarked. 
Sharing a video of yet more piles of bricks nearby protesters @right2073 commented: 'This is supposed to be Fayetteville, NC.'
Another user, @FunnyHusband, commented: 'That's the third "well placed bricks" video I've seen. Previous 2 had no construction anywhere near and bricks didn't match any of the structures.'
