This specific incident a bunch of people were around the equipment. Presidential Candidate Jill Stein was there and took a can of spray paint and painted the scoop of one of the bulldozers with an activist slogan. The incident is on film and was widely covered by the media. That was the vandalism. These bulldozer scoops have a rough life and any graffiti on them wears off within hours of their next use so the assertion that this was legitimate damage is questionable. It's known and documented on film exactly what happened there on that day. It's also known that only a tiny number of people engaged in bulldozer graffiti, the particular people who did were filmed, and their identities are known. The person named in the affidavit was not among any of the people who were seen painting the bulldozer scoop. Furthermore nothing observed there would be reasonably described by any rational person as "rioting", which is the charge being levied with this butt being the only evidence presented.
