Just a few bad apples, nothing to see here.

Tarrio also claimed that Lamond would tell him the location of counterdemonstrators during marches.

And did Lamond also hand out ads for “Proud Boys” merch?

There needs to be a thorough nation wide investigation of police departments to root out white supremacists.
We can take as our model the investigations of the McCarthy era. Roy Cohn strikes again.

Definite variations. Blacks make up 45% of DC, about 20% of NYC, for example. DC is also 90% Dem, so you have a twofer when bringing in white supremacist cops.

wanna bet he was in the military? Many of them leave the military, often with less than honorable discharges, and find a home in a local PD. Guns, kevlar armor, fast cars with flashy lights, tasers, bully clubs, handcuffs, and knees for blocking air passages. What fun!

Forgive me but I won’t take at face value anything the PD says, nor anything Lamond or Enrique “Deney” Tarrio has to say.

Our 2 decades in the Middle East produced many thousands of vets needing jobs. We think a lot of them ended up on police forces. Military training is the polar opposite of what we except of police. To boil it down: kill or protect and serve.
