Trump changes counterextremism program to ignore violent white supremacists & focus only on Islam

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-extremists-program-exclusiv-idUSKBN15G5VO

[quote]The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.[/quote]

Cops vote Republican because the idea of police accountability hurts their little fee fee's. Any cop who dies from a Sovereign Citizen nutcase or an abortion clinic shooter from here on is simply getting what they voted for.

And what they deserve.
