White supremacists and far-right vigilante militias have infiltrated police departments in dozens of states across the US, retired FBI agent claims
White supremacist groups have infiltrated the ranks of US law enforcement agencies all over the country in the last two decades, a new report conducted by a retired FBI agent claims.
The new analysis, conducted by ex-special agent Michael German, sought to assess ties between serving police officers and far-right groups.
Beyond affiliations with racist groups or officers allegedly harboring racist views, German’s report also highlights instances in which police have reportedly actively collaborated with far-right groups.
In one such example, he points out that in 2018, police in Sacramento, California, were found to be working with neo-Nazis to pursue charges against anti-racist activists who were stabbed or beaten during a far-right rally in 2016.
While failing to charge any white supremacists for the stabbings or assaults - which left two critically wounded - the police instead launched an investigation into 100 anti-fascist counter protesters, recommending 500 charges against them, court files from the time say.
Similarly, at a KKK rally in Anaheim the same year, police arrested seven anti-racism protesters but did not charge a Klansman who reportedly stabbed three people.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have directly identified white supremacists as the most lethal domestic terrorist threat in the country.
According to German’s report, the FBI’s own internal documents have directly warned that the militia groups the agency is investigating often have ‘active links’ to law enforcement.
Despite this, German says no effective policy is in place to identify white supremacist police to root out the problem.

'They shot my son seven times, seven times, like he didn't matter,' Jacobv Blake Sr said tearfully as he spoke to reporters alongside other family members and lawyers.
Blake, 29, a father of six, was struck from behind at point-blank range in a hail of bullets fired on Sunday by police who were following him with guns drawn as he walked away from officers to his car and opened a door to the vehicle.
Three of his young sons inside the automobile - aged three, five and eight - witnessed their father being gunned down, according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Blake family.
A bystander captured the encounter in video footage that immediately went viral, unleashing outrage over the latest in a long series of instances in which police have been accused of using indiscriminate lethal force against African Americans.
Blake, who had been attempting to break up a quarrel between two women, was struck by multiple gunshots fired at him, all by one officer.
