An FBI warning the came out all the way back in October 2006, reported that “White supremacist infiltration of law enforcement” represented a significant national threat.

Several key events preceded the report. A federal court found that members of a Los Angeles sheriffs department formed a Neo Nazi gang and habitually terrorized the black community. Later, the Chicago police department fired Jon Burge, a detective with reputed ties to the Ku Klux Klan, after discovering he tortured over 100 black male suspects. Thereafter, the Mayor of Cleveland discovered that many of the city police locker rooms were infested with “White Power” graffiti. Years later, a Texas sheriff department discovered that two of its deputies were recruiters for the Klan.

In near prophetic fashion, after the FBI’s warning, white supremacy extremism in the U.S. increased, exponentially. From 2008 to 2014, the number of white supremacist groups, reportedly, grew from 149 to nearly a thousand, with no apparent abatement in their infiltration of law enforcement.

This year, alone, at least seven San Francisco law enforcement officers were suspended after an investigation revealed they exchanged numerous “White Power” communications laden with remarks about “lynching African-Americans and burning crosses.” Three reputed Klan members that served as correction officers were arrested for conspiring to murder a black inmate. At least four Fort Lauderdale police officers were fired after an investigation found that the officers fantasized about killing black suspects.

In a report featured on PRESS TV, the FBI has revealed that “white terrorists, supremacists, racists, Nazis, and klansmen have infiltrated the law enforcement departments across the country and they have killed people in the thousands in the last ten years,” according to Dr. Randy Short,  a member of the Black Autonomy Network Community Organization.

He also mentions that many of the police recruits around the country are military vets who have murdered people during U.S. tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. Check out the entire story here for more information on the white extremist takeover of law enforcement agencies here in the U.S.
