(13,400 posts)1. It starts with the military doesn't it? They get so many cops from there. That's one thing
that needs to happen. Root out anything that looks, sounds or stinks like a white supremacist from the military. What they find out, track to active police officers and get rid of them too.

He Was the Neo-Nazi Who Inspired American History X. His Nazi Pals Are Now Cops.
Frank Meeink was a top neo-Nazi who inspired Edward Nortons character in American History X. He now speaks out against itand says members of his old neo-Nazi crew became cops.
In October of 2006, the FBI released an intelligence assessment titled, White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement. Though the documentculled from FBI investigations and open sourceswas heavily redacted, it reached a number of disturbing conclusions.
The assessment revealed that white supremacists have historically engaged in strategic efforts to infiltrate and recruit from law enforcement communities; that many of these white-supremacist infiltrators are known as ghost skins who avoid overt displays of their beliefs to blend in; and that the KKK have longstanding ties to local law enforcement. These firm ties between white supremacists and law enforcement persist to this day. Last year, Reveal published an investigative series exposing the polices proclivity for Facebook hate groups and racist memes, and in late August, former FBI agent Michael German compiled an exhaustive report detailing the prevalence of racism, white supremacy, and far-right militancy in law enforcement and the federal governments non-existent response to it.
Frank Meeink, once one of the most prominent neo-Nazis in the U.S.and the inspiration for the character Derek Vinyard, played by Edward Norton in the 1998 film American History Xthinks he knows why.
I know that there are neo-Nazis who I used to run with who are now cops, he tells The Daily Beast. And thats just in my crew. Imagine how many neo-Nazis and white nationalists have been becoming cops? Three of the people in my crew alone became cops.Meeink, 45, recalls attending a big summit in the early 90s with David Duke and other white nationalist leaders. They were telling us to cover up our swastikas, grow our hair out, and become cops, he says. I know of at least three of the people at that meeting who became cops.

He said he wanted to come up with a program police departments can use to screen for white supremacists at hiring.
