White supremacists 'seek affiliation' with law enforcement to further their goals, internal FBI report warns.

On Jan. 6, rioters coming from a pro-Trump rally broke into the U.S. Capitol, resulting in deaths, injuries, arrests and vandalism.In some cases, they wanted to join the military or police so they would be able to commit acts of violence toward members of minority groups.

Conclusions in the assessment were based on information from records and informants, some of whom had"excellent access," the FBI authors wrote in the Feb. 25 document.

-- and this newly leaked report confirm in my mind that the FBI's failure to level with the American people about organized racist infiltration of law enforcement is having dangerous and deadly consequences."Pro-Trump protesters gather in front of the U.S. Capitol Building, Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington, DC.

"Whenever we've had the chance we've tried to emphasize that this is a top concern and remained so for the FBI," Wray said."The FBI will not tolerate agitators and extremists who plan or committed violence. Period. And that goes for violent extremists, of any stripe." Since the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, lawmakers and officials have increasingly focused on the issue of white supremacy and other types of violent extremism in the military and law enforcement. According to research by news organizations including The New York Times, at least 30 people with law enforcement training have been tied to the events of the insurrection, which left five dead, including a Capitol Hill police officer.

Hmmmm it’s almost like they have similar ideological goals and values that seem to mesh quite well together....

This been happening here since police happened. This ain't new

Case example: DEREK CHAUVIN

lol, Every heard of J Edgar Hoover?

Way too many over simplifications in the comments here. No, not all modern police are racists. That statement is as ignorant as much of the misinformation put out by Trump cultists. We can do better here, people. Don’t stereotype. Judge people by their character—not their uniform

'Seek ' As if law enforcement is not filled with neo nazis already 🙄

So are Crips yet...

well maybe if we just give them more money to investigate themselves, this will just go away. right, joe?

Exactly why every police dept across America needs to be investigated for white supremacy connections! Is this why dark skinned people are targeted by police? Should this, because of Jan 6th, be the norm for future candidate's of police forces that everyone be vetted before hire

Many supporters are white, blue-collar, poor, unskilled, low education, live in basic housing, have no opportunities, etc. What is it about their lives that causes them to believe their skin color makes them superior? They should be allies of people of color to improve all lives.

Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses

There can be no political attachment to any party or doctrine by law enforcement.... none!

Well duh. White supremacists have been in law enforcement at every level for decades.

Stop them now.

piersmorgan TomiLahren benshapiro FoxNews RepMTG Y’all look at the “liberal left leaning” FBI telling folks what black people BEEN SAYING for decades...

whos gonna tell abc this has always been a thing

Ignorance is Alive and Well in America

They already in police departments

THAT would be the beginning of the end!

We all know this, why is FBI just now figuring this out?

TOO LATE.

FBI FBIHouston This is unfortunately not shocking if you know the history of the founding of law enforcement in the south. Please expand this important study beyond San Antonio.

White supremacists *ARE* law enforcement.

once again.. america is embarrassing!, land of the apathetic and ignorant.

Maybe if the White supremacists wear robes and masked hoods, law enforcement administration FBI won’t see them coming.

Black people didn’t need a report to know this.

Coup Clutch Clan To overthrow To grasp or strike quickly X=strike Ku Klux Klan Pretending this is all new information isn't a good look. Confidential? Really? It is the most obvious terrorist group on the planet. Out in the open. No qualms about it. 'By cloak or by rope.'

It’s already happened, like since the beginning of law enforcement.

The problem is if you treat all white people like white supremacists and attack them, then you are going to create white supremacists who are only trying to defend themselves.

You want to infiltrate something start with FBI, take out the FBI first then move on from there

The fbi has turned out to be a shit agency. A lot of respect had been lost.

Ok, what is a white supremacist actually?

Not surprise there already in the police force and the military they are Judges they are Democrats there are Republicans they have infiltrated the whole system they had three to four hundred years to do this

ABCsJosh Margolin appears obsessed with “White Supremacy”you know look and you shall find !Remember John Lennon lamented “ Nazi’s in the cupboard “ mama told me there’d be days like this !At ABC ratings matter it’s all about the bottom line .

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

did a white person choose to put this picture out front

No shit....

Trump sought affiliation with law enforcement and the military like a good dictator would.

Good reminder that the FBI has been warning us about this since 2006:

Please report on the K9 who was abused by a SALISBURY NC police officer. The chief there seemed to be indifferent to the abuse. Animal lovers aren't indifferent to this crime caught on video. Such brutality has no place in law enforcement. Shameful and disgusting

Not surprising, scary, but not surprising. Gee why on earth would people want to reform and in some ways defund the police.

Previous Administration did overtime to convince people that racism doesn’t exist 🙄

I don’t the FBI.

“Affiliation”? The police began as slave-catchers. Many current day police force members are already affiliated with white supremacist organizations. Certainly not all, but even a few are too many.

Has always been strategy of these domestic terrorist orgs. Their terrorism is not as effective if it is treated as criminal rather than performed with support from law enforcement. A victim can be further terrorized knowing they have no legal protection.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. — George Carlin

Which begs the question how much infiltration of FBI and all security organisations have white supremist already made and how do you winkle them out before any more damage is done to the USA

😱😱😱😱

To this day I still don’t get why people can be so strongly against non-white races...

None of this is a surprise.

Seek!? They are already affiliated for ages

your job is to give us statue. except transgender stories/cyber bullying .

Aren't many of them already affiliated?

It’s been like this for decades

'seek further affiliation' Fixed it

Some of those that work forces....

Seek? You mean strengthen don't you? ifyoudontknowyoubetterasksomebody

The leader of the Proud Boys sought affiliation with the FBI as an informant.

In fairness, they've always been affiliated with law enforcement ... only now, they're no longer wearing hoods.

This was supposed to be a secret 🙄

Its a little late for that

They are already in law enforcement, military as well as congress.

The real threat to National security

It’s not like they gotta look that far.

They already have it.
