If that is the case, the reason he had an SUV with flashing lights and he was wearing a badge and gun is because he helps run an armed security firm named Praetorian Security Services.

A former appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is being sought in connection with the assassination of a state lawmaker and the shooting of another, police sources said.
Vance Luther Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer when he shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home early Saturday, leaving them seriously injured before moving on to former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman’s house — where he is believed to have slaughtered her and her husband, sources told The Post.

Apparently Boelter was previously associated with The Red Lions Group, a security firm.
UPDATE:
All information at this point is preliminary and hence not 100% reliable. I am not certain that DataRepublican is identifying the right group or not.
The left has been trying to wrap Boelter around MAGA, but he was appointed to gubernatorial commissions by both Mark Dayton and current governor Tim Walz.
We know definitively that Boelter is a far right, MAGA, left wing loon. He both loves and hates Trump. He targeted the victims because they are Democrats. Also because they voted against Democrats.
It’s crystal clear, people. I don’t know why you’re having trouble keeping up. pic.twitter.com/7MLTslpVl2

Boelter was also a minister who tried to convert Hamas militants to Christianity. Bizarre.
