Protester at BLM rally on why he took part in Minneapolis arson

Branden Wolfe tells Al Jazeera about his struggles with mental health, meeting George Floyd, in an exclusive interview.

Branden Wolfe had hoped for a lighter sentence. Federal authorities accused him of conspiracy to commit arson in the burning of a police building in the days following the death of George Floyd. Authorities alleged he “pushed a barrel into a fire located in the entrance of the third precinct headquarters”, fuelling the fire. A judge gave him a prison sentence of 41 months for the crime. But Wolfe, 23, told Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview he does not feel guilty of the charge.
