He was a heroin addict and one of the many drug addicts that BLM recruited to riot. His buddy "Reese" Monson already did hard time in prison for other crimes over the last decade. And Monson seems to be the mastermind of the whole operation (or at least, Monson is the man who got Reinoehl to shoot someone, even if Monson was tasked with this by someone else higher up in BLM).

"Reinoehl also was wanted on a warrant out of Baker County in Eastern Oregon, where court records show he skipped a hearing related to a June case in which he has been charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm. Police said he drove on an interstate at up to 111 mph (179 kph), with his daughter in the car, while racing his 17-year-old son, who was in a different vehicle."

Baker County is over 300 miles from Portland. Quite a ways to travel for a heroin addict. Even more suspicious is he was killed near Lacey, Washington, which is over 130 miles from Portland, and over 420 miles from Baker County. Needless to say, this guy gets around a lot in a short span of time, especially for a drug addict no life loser who doesn't even seem to have a job.

An oddity: Reinoehl's BLM tattoo was recent, maybe a few months old tops. He had no other tattoo's. There's other very recent pictures of Reinoehl without the neck tat. Think about that....a man who gets no tat's his whole life....gets a BLM tat right on his neck! This seems less like him getting a tattoo, and more like him being branded with a tattoo. I.e. he was their white slave puppet. The tat isn't so much him expressing his love for BLM, as it is BLM branding him as their property / white slave foot soldier.

One thing to think about: Where's Reinoehl getting these guns? I'd imagine the police confiscated the gun he was illegally possessing when police discovered him with it from the DUI racing months earlier, yet he had another pistol when he committed murder, and a rifle when he shot at police. Clearly he didn't obtain any of these legally. And I doubt a heroin addict loser like him who spent most days lounging around with a needle in his arm, would be going out to buy guns with that money rather than drugs. Clearly he didn't shoot guns, because he couldn't even kill a single cop after firing over 50 rounds from window to sidewalk.

My theory is that Monson, semi-fresh out of doing hard time in prison, was supplying him with illegal street weapons. He's Reinoehl's BLM HQ "hard hitter" connection. First the pistol was supplied to kill the guy (maybe with the payment of heroin as a reward or the cancellation of some type of drug debt he had with Monson...and the tattoo could be that too, i.e. ok you can't cover your drug debt, then get this "I'm a black mans slave" tat on your neck instead).

Monson planned it out, they expected to get away with it on a dark street among the chaos of rioting...then once they realized they were identified, they panicked.

Now one thing fishy about all of this is that video is soo low quality and soo far away, I find it hard to believe even his own family would recognize him from that video. Let's keep in mind, the internet sleuth's were only able to identify him from that video by piecing together other higher quality pictures/videos from that night. Yet, right as the internet sleuth's were figuring out the identity of the shooter, she claims to have received a call threatening her to turn in her brother otherwise they would kill her family. Why would anyone need to threaten her to turn her brother in, when the internet sleuth's were already figuring it out? They didn't need her to identify him for police to take action. The internet sleuth's sure as heck didn't call her, they didn't need her to make an ID. She knew he murdered a man before she even saw the video.

So who made this threat? Monson. He knew that with Reinoehl being identified, it was only a matter of time before he'd be implicated too. Monson's position is he wasn't going back to prison again, and knew that as much as people say they ain't no snitch, when the heavy charges come down, tight lips start singing like a canary. So he wanted to make sure that Reinoehl would never live to see trial. He couldn't outright kill Reinoehl, it was too risky. So he did the next best thing....threatened Reinoehl's family to force him into suicide by cop. The threat to Reinoehl's sister was Monson making a point that he was serious and could get a whole crew up there to hurt people if he wanted, and Reinoehl's sister probably told him about the threat, not knowing it was from Monson.

Monson meets with Reinoehl and tells him he made the threat...then made his demand, something along the lines of: "Suicide yourself by cop, or we will kill you and your family. Either way you lose... but do you want to lose more or less?". So he dropped off a rifle or had someone else from BLM drop it off, for Reinoehl to use when the cops inevitably showed up, to make sure they had reason to shoot him dead. I doubt he still had the pistol used in the shooting, it was probably just a loaner from Monson and had likely been ditched shortly after the shooting. They needed something heavier and higher powered to make him seem like more of a threat so the cops would definitely air him out and so he wouldn't run out of ammo before they killed him, and for him to hopefully take some cops with him. Monson saw that as a double bonus: The man that could implicate him and his BLM buddies, dies before trial, and maybe some police die in the process.

Now all of this isn't to say that Reinoehl is innocent, but it's the point out that criminals beget criminals. Reinoehl may have had no qualms with being onboard with everything, but he definitely wasn't the leader, he was being lead. The shooter is almost never the mastermind, but rather the lowest person on the rung, a lackey sent to do someone elses bidding.
