Re: police murders of PoC, the Klan and similar groups have members within many police departments..

Just look at the South through the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras. And the South is far from alone in that regard. The Klan and other white supremacist groups have substantial overlap with the "Patriot" and Sovereign Citizens movements, along with the hard-line anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim crowd within the Republican Party (see: Trump's base and Tea Party assholes). And all of these have more overlap with police and law enforcement around the country than many (white) people would be willing to admit.

I am pretty ****ing confident that some of these groups are operating just behind the public face of many police and sheriff's departments around the country...

1. I read a govrnment report--forgot which--that says law enforcement has been inflitrated

nationally by white supremacist groups. A lot of them were probably already racists, but a few outliers could push the culture of a department in that direction even if they weren't.

3. It's been known for awhile . . .

that militia groups and right wing extremist would encourage their members to enlist in the military. It was a way to gain weapons and tactical experience. They would join on the premise of know thy enemy as you know thyself.

So I don't doubt many of those same members transitioned into law enforcement. Especially, after the end of Clinton's terms and the beginning of W's term. I remember there were multiple news stories about the Army and Marines infiltrated by right wing extremist. There was a brief crackdown on those openly displaying the confederate flag for example. So the ones that were dismissed or left when they couldn't display confederate or nazi symbols had to have gone somewhere.

5. I have no doubts that police forces nationally have their klan/white militia contingents proudly 'serving and protecting' white people, harassing and murdering black people. Also I am going to have to see if I can find any reports about current racial strife within the military today, if there is a lot, it is kept exceedingly quiet. I know in my day, even in Vietnam there was racial/cultural division among the troops...confederate 'juicers' against the 'heads' and the soldiers of color....BUT the n word was not used by the ignorant as much because we were all armed.....

Every time cities are forced to provide more opportunities for minorities to join the PD, they have to lower their standards so those minorities can pass the tests.

How does that help to "protect and serve"?

And yet, you somehow, come up with the brain impulses to breathe.

Amazing.......

And I'm pretty sure than when your stash is stolen you could call your local BLM blacktivists, and they'd tell you it was OK, but they could turn you on to better.

A time frame of which you have no direct knowledge, if your DU-name is to be believed. Not that DU-folk blathering from utter ignorance is unusual.

Blacks are taught from youth by their mamas (no dad in sight) that the next best thing after welfare for having lots of kids is to get on the public payroll. Once there it is almost impossible to fire a black or POC.

Jim crow and KKK were dimocrats, or did you all forget that?

The twerp who posted about that is too young to actually remember it, if his/her DU-name is to be believed. For that matter, I'm almost too young to have actual memories of the KKK, and Jim Crow had already croaked when I was born.
