The hardware should be a giveaway regarding the identity of the owner. There are many more countries capable of doing this than those listed.
Who does this suggest:
While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.

Much to unpack:
Notably, many of these dullards received so-called advanced degrees.

”GCA, the four social outcomes (Occupation, Income, Independence, Legal Problems) and three compensatory factors (Personality, SES, PGS) were all monotonically related to highest educational degree completed with the single exception of those not graduating high school having a higher mean income than those with a high school degree among men …”
There is an increasing belief that a college “education” is now a negative factor for personal success. But this is the first I have seen suggesting that a high school “education” is also a negative!
If we replace the word “education” with “indoctrination”, then maybe this all makes sense.

The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.
Good start. Let’s see some more federal employees fired for political activism on the job.

On the job one must be only dedicated to the employer, ( I’m gonna be misunderstood for that), this isn’t quite what the hatch act covered, but as a long time federal employee, I never discussed anything political while on the job. If asked about something politically related, my response was “I really can’t say.”
Wearing the government FBI vests, if indeed that is who they are and what they are wearing, they certainly should be fired.
George Floyd’s death was not a good thing, No matter who the person is or was, it was and is totally wrong for police brutality to go that far. I believe that unfortunately there are more good cops than there are bad ones and the bad ones make the headlines. My younger brother is in law enforcement, (semi retired), and my nephew is a police detective. They have seen a lot and thank God are still doing something I could not do.
Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called children of God”
Jesus says we are blessed as children of God because He has set us apart. We are different from everyone else in our actions, work, and approach to resolving conflict and discord in today’s troubling world.
What they supposedly did is not within their job description of neutrality.

Let’s check in on Switzerland.
A man in Switzerland will be jailed after refusing to pay a fine he was issued for a “transphobic” social media post.
Emanuel Brünisholz, a wind instrument repairman, had made a Facebook comment noting that male and female skeletons were different.

I entirely reject your premise. George Floyd was not subject to police brutality. I’ve watched all the video angles. It simply isn’t true, and an innocent police office is in jail to satisfy a mob.

ochlocracy: “oppressive majoritarian form of government controlled by the common people through the intimidation of authorities”

A mob is not the same as a political majority. Indeed, it is almost the opposite inasmuch as mobs are usually a small, yet vocal, minority that intimidates the majority via terror or its threat. This is precisely what happened in the case of St George Floyd. Cities were burned until people bowed to the threats. And then they were burned some more.
Do not negotiate with terrorists or succumb to their demands.

You can reject what you want to reject.
You can not change what I believe.
Watch and listen.
I believe what I can see and hear, @ 5:30 he was taunted to get up and get in the car. Impossible with a knee on your neck.
IMHO:
I firmly believe that Derek Chauvin should be executed for murder in the first degree.
The other three, Thao, Kueng, Lane, should be sentenced to life without parole.
Who taunted him? Why?
You can see Chauving moving every time Floyd tries to move. That evidences a very limited amount of force. And that was consistent with his training as evidenced by the training manual:
Floyd overdosed. I can’t find the transcript of Dr. Rich’s testimony about the dose not being fatal because Floyd had an unusual tolerance, but this report will do:
Possibly more important, Rich said, is that he saw no signs of opiate overdose in Floyd, such as lethargy, slurred speech, or difficulty to arouse. Instead, Floyd was alert, conversant and walking around before his death.
It thus appears that Dr. Rich based his opinion on Floyd’s last ingestion of fentanyl, etc. having been so much earlier than his leaving the store that the blood content had peaked by the time he arrived back at his vehicle. This does not account for the pills he put in his mouth after getting to his vehicle.
The defense attorney did not catch this.

That clearly was a bystander who knew what was going on.
Do you think it was Kueng?
Karens are abundant in MSP.

You appear to be conflating two things. The voice of a wise man urging Floyd to stop resisting did not match the demographic of the officers. The Karens screaming at the cops, as usual, sowed confusion and made things worse.
