Very informative and compelling. I wonder if it will bring the researcher any offers of help in her work.

10. Read the Guardian Article above for a link to a database being compiled by an independent researcher

it's a database of cases of any type filed against white supremacists.
Seems they often turn up with drug and gun violations from what I'm looking at there...
And then end up in court on those.

What’s the impact of putting this information out there?

It’s led to the exposure of white supremacists in the military. It’s revealed networks and connections of people. It has also empowered people in communities to form coalitions and organize against white supremacists recruiting in their midst. My hope is that by combating these farthest fringe movements, we can build the momentum to start attacking more mainstream ones.
If we can rally around kicking a Nazi out of the police as something that is necessary in civil society, maybe we can also say, it’s not just the Nazis in the police. It’s the way the police operate.

... with Kenosha and some other recent events, the police were openly permissive of the far right, saying, “Why don’t you guys stand over there? Why don’t you do this?” I don’t necessarily believe they were trying to give tactical deployment orders. They were probably saying: “Here’s how to stay out of trouble.” Still, it shows this level of congeniality with these groups that is not afforded to the left. The police work with these groups or tacitly accept them, and then it snowballs and spreads and gets bigger and bigger until it eventually hits a boiling point, which is what happened in Kenosha [where the alleged rightwing vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with killing two protesters]. The facts are the police are deeply infiltrated by white supremacists. The FBI knows it.
