White Supremacist Links to Law Enforcement Are an Urgent Concern
White supremacists and militias have infiltrated police across US, report says | US policing | The Guardian
White supremacist groups have infiltrated US law enforcement agencies in every region of the country over the last two decades, according to a new report about the ties between police and far-right vigilante groups.
In a timely new analysis, Michael German, a former FBI special agent who has
written extensively on the ways that US law enforcement have failed to respond to far-right domestic terror threats, concludes that US law enforcement officials have been tied to racist militant activities in more than a dozen states since 2000, and hundreds of police officers have been caught posting racist and bigoted social media content.
And just this summer, German writes, an
Orange county sheriff’s deputy and a Chicago
policemanwere caught wearing far-right militia logos; an Olympia, Washington, officer was
photographed posing with a militia group; and Philadelphia police officers were
filmed standing by while armed mobs attacked protesters and journalists.
The exact scale of ties between law enforcement and militias is hard to determine, German told the Guardian. “Nobody is collecting the data and nobody is actively looking for these law enforcement officers,” he said.
