In a subcommittee hearing on the white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement, @RepAOC said that the question is no longer "if" white supremacy has infiltrated police departments, but how we handle this long-existing problem. In 2015, a classified FBI Counterterrorism Policy Guide noted that “militia extremists, white supremacist extremists, and sovereign citizen extremists often have identified active links to law enforcement officers.” To help address this issue, the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would: (1) enhance the Department of Justice’s capability to initiate pattern and practice investigations into police misconduct; (2) make it easier to prosecute police officers for misconduct; (3) create a nationwide police misconduct registry to prevent problematic officers from being rehired. This bill now awaits a vote in the Senate.
That's exactly the same as very real, actual, already-committed violence and national security threat of white supremacists and the PRESIDENT for fuck's sake who eggs them on.
