It occurred to me that if one goal of the Breakshit Brigade now occupying the WH was to unleash the mobs against Muslims, they would be purging front-line law enforcement of people who might get in the way. Lots of thoughtful, liberal(ish) police would just resign in the face of internal pressures, but others (esp. those in key positions) would be fired.
Has anyone heard of anything like this happening, or ramping up in the last month or so? I haven't. but I live in Canada and don't track the HR practices of American Police Departments.

His answer to a blue line and blm? We need a statement of inclusion in our little town. Because we live it.
I could see them hurting our sweet hearts - because black white, jewish muslim, man, woman - adult or child etc. etc. - they really do give a shit about the people here. And the chief? Wouldn't stand for it. Would not.
Based on his reaction to the 'pepe' meme being posted on lamp posts on main? No fucking way would he last if he is asked to deliberately harm people based upon what they are.

Although these right-wing extremists have posed a growing threat for years, federal investigators have been reluctant to publicly address that threat or to point out the movements longstanding strategy of infiltrating the law enforcement community.No centralized recruitment process or set of national standards exists for the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States, many of which have deep historical connections to racist ideologies. As a result, state and local police as well as sheriffs departments present ample opportunities for white supremacists and other right-wing extremists looking to expand their power base.

When good people don't vote, bad people win... When good cops quit, more of these racists fucks will rush to take their place...IMO
