The Alt-Right is Infested with Law Enforcement...Active and Former

IMHO. That's why I am not shocked that it appears FBI Agents are reading Breitbart.com and Inforwars..and finding "evidence" that Clinton needs to be investigated for something.

We are hurtling full throttle toward uncharted territory and some scary "shite" America.

Close to 40 years of unabated hatred, racism, bigotry and Reich-wing propaganda on AM Hate Radio has created an "Army of Morons".

Unfortunately, it appears a large number of those morons are armed and carry a badge.

I am confidant that Hillary will be our next President. I just can't for the life of me imagine any scenario where a majority of Americans would elect Trump. Say what you will about Hillary, but our country will be fine, and I believe thrive with her as President. I'm not sure we survive a Trump presidency.

I know that means I am putting a lot of faith in an American populace that elects the likes of Darrell Issa and Louis Gohmert to positions of power, but Trump as President is so inconceivable to me that I will maintain that faith.

That being said, there needs to be a purging and draining of the cesspool that has become our Federal and Local Law Enforcement. If not, we are going to continue to have rogue FBI agents that get their "evidence" from Rush Limbaugh, and their marching orders from Infowars.

I refuse to believe that all of those "former" law enforcement and military members that now make up a group like the Oath Keepers, only came to their twisted views after they had retired and left law enforcement.

corrections, civilians, military, etc. I quit along with a few other people an organization that brought some of them in to give a talk. When your elected sheriff gives them credo it time to vote him out.

when "effing" FBI Agents are mining the depths of Alex Jones and Breitbart for their "sources" of info for a case against Clinton.

I don't think the FBI is supposed to start with the assumption of guilt and then work backwards.

I hate the fucking right for what they've done to this country. The media is just as much to blame - pushing right-wing talking points so they can sell some fucking pillows, erectile dysfunction drugs and flowers.

That's why ANY-FUCKING-THING...and I mean ANY-FUCKING THING that is advertised on AM Radio...I don't give a fuck if it's during a fucking ESPN Sports Talk Show, should be boycotted!

It all goes into the pockets of Clear Channel and Sinclair Communications. Those ass-pickles have been poisoning America for 40 fucking years

just because they are law enforcement doesn't mean they enforce the law of the land, just their own bias. When that cdlown made it into the White Houswe I knew that RWers were infesting all levels of special security services and law enforcement. Watching the last 7+ years of executions of unarmed black people, and really many others from all races, though that's kept pretty quiet by the MSM so as to not scare the gullible deplorables, has shown me how deeply fascism has infected our law enforcement nationwide.

in law enforcement? Sure, we know they're there. We also know some would find work in a vicious police state far more personally rewarding.

But most in law enforcement are not that way. The clean-out needs to be surgically precise and respectful of those who do earnestly serve and protect.

...and who have little control over their working conditions. We gave them guns, and with a wink we told them there would be little or no oversight as to how their weapons were used. We added military ordnance, and almost in so many words told them to keep certain people at bay. As a bonus, we gave them a significant daily risk of death or serious injury. And we agreed to act surprised at the result, but most importantly we are united in our determination to change nothing.

No, we like to claim we want good policing, but we won't buy it.
