Considering that the police force were initially created for slave patrols, it’s not really surprising that white supremacy is a part of police culture.

Edit: Note that this is not a right/left thing. This is just literally history that gets ignored in our schools.

... Wait, your contention is that normal people are BECOMING WHITE SUPREMACISTS _for the purpose of spiting journalists_?

... What? I mean, what?

I would like to believe that people have more personal agency than that, and that in fact, calling someone or their actions white supremacist does not make them such and instead causes them to reflect on what caused the accusation.

If merely calling someone or their actions white supremacist makes them suddenly start self-identifying as a white supremacist and they don't see a problem with that, maybe the original accusation wasn't that wrong?

There is literally zero historical evidence of this. Police forces have been attracting white supremacists for decades: http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/402521/doc-26-white-su...

White supremacist infiltration of police organizations goes back a long time. Blaming the much more recent attention that people are paying to white supremacy for the movement itself is absurd. "You called me a white supremacist so now I am one" is nonsense.

The FBI warned of white supremacist infiltration of police forces over a decade ago.

What nonsense is this? Falsely accusing someone of being a white supremacist does not turn them into a white supremacist.

That’s not how white supremacy works.

More importantly, the history of US policing is firmly rooted in white supremacy.
