I am sick to death over Sandra Bland

Last edited Fri Jul 24, 2015, 05:58 AM - Edit history (1)

Larry Wilmore just had a great segment on it.

What the hell can we do about this so totally fucked up situation we have in our country regarding race relations? It is more than just the fucked up LEOs.

I am so disgusted with it, I am almost paralyzed.

1. I completely agree. I keep waiting for this to be more fully revealed & discussed

and verified by someone in the know, and shouted from the roof-tops,
to call this shit out for what it is: white supremacists & rabid racists have
massively infiltrated the ranks of our law enforcement.

FBI’s warning of white supremacists infiltrating law enforcement nearly forgotten

4. Yes. The FBI seems to be pretending it didn't KNOW this

and now 9 years after the report, they are maybe starting to "connect the dots",
as they are "getting involved" in the investigation of Sandra Bland.

Just like nursing and supporting this weird military fetish thing we got going on. When law enforcement gets caught doing wrong, white culture makes excuses and gives them paid vacations for it. Nursing and supporting the behavior.

9. True, it goes beyond it, but this FBI report from 2006 is pretty clear

As long as 9 years ago the FBI totally KNEW about white supremacists massively
"Infiltrating" law enforcement and did NOTHING. Nada.

Which people should keep in mind when they say "oh now The Feds are involved
in the Sandra Bland case, so no worries.
