Investigate me for "terrorism" while viewing knife-wielding white-supremicists as "victims" if old.

The FBI consists of members that some perceive to be supportive of a white supremacist agenda.
Big suprise that the country's biggest law enforcement agency, whose former director was instrumental in getting Trump elected, is full of fascists.
Sometimes I wonder if these news stories (and others like it) are specifically designed to numb/bludgeon me into apathy by exposing me to an ever escalating blend of cruelty and stupidity, a blend that has blown past 'unfathomable' quite a while ago.
I'm glad they're taking advocacy against rape, sexual assault, and police brutality seriously as a legitimate threat to society. Imagine if these proud institutions were ever toppled.
As much as these :
The FBI is fucking trash. I'm using sarcasm to express it.
As for the bernie shit, my post had as much value as the one I was replying to.
Meanwhile you're the one backseat modding with nothing to add to the thread.
These are amazing sentences to read. In the days of the Mueller inquiry, it reminds me of how you can never trust the FBI because the entire culture there is sick enough to allow these topsy turvy, and disgusting, ideas seem natural to them. They have always been the main opponent of activists and those who seek to make the world a better place by peaceful protest. They have never changed from this role. When progressives regain power, I'd loved to see the whole organisation be reformed from the bottom up; it needs it.
These kinds of stories are why I roll my eyes at Americans hoping their glorious institutions will save them. Same thing in the UK - ever since Thatcher police spies have been infiltrating any faintly leftist group, no matter how legitimate or harmless. Funnily enough, I haven't heard many screams of rage from the right about the suppression of freeze peach in those cases.
Why am I not surprised.

Shit like this is the reason Howard students didn't want someone like Comey giving a commencement speech.

Sounds like a Bowiez post.
That this was in 2016 really ought to be mentioned somewhere. We all know that America sucks, but it's important to realize quickly how recently we suck
Agreed.
This is quite scary and dystopian. And who's to stay that the FBI won't use their powers to say, impeach a progressive president?
Just a friendly reminder that these organizations aren't there to protect the people but the administration.
If you take away our American ideals of police brutality, rape, and sexual assault, then the terrorists have already won.
It is quite sad to watch, but also fascinating how "liberal" opinion can shift once a common enemy turns up.
I'm really curious what's going to happen once the muller investigation is over and (expectedly) comes up empty-handed.
Turn to the next 'hero' or political resignation?
They've always been this way but I imagine they just had to hide it less since trump/sessions
This is not surprising in the least. I made a thread on this topic, based on a fantastic article on Ricochet.
Ricochet: Police, spies and white supremacy: A brief history
And then there was this: The Guardian: Anti-fascists were stabbed at a neo-Nazi rally. Then police tried to charge them

remember this next year when MLK day comes around and they tweet some platitudes about the reverend
It's a shame this occurred before Trump took office. Quite a few do regard white supremacist groups as domestic terrorists but the parties involved in this clearly don't care about those reports published by their peers.
It isn't only the police that need bad actors to be removed.

It's good for us to hold our law enforcement institutions to higher and higher standards, but how do you get to writing off all police or the entire FBI because of these types of stories? Like, there are hundreds of thousands of law enforcement people in the US working on all sorts of investigations all over the place. Most stories about how they stopped someone or some group from doing something harmful don't go viral because it's much more common and therefore unremarkable. That's data that people aren't including in their "trash the FBI" models.
Of course; what's hilarious is watching these relatively known...I can't even say conspiracies now, hitting the mainstream news from what were more underground leftist and POC circles. I was shocked when I listened to a public radio professional podcast from an org a few days ago and they casually threw in how the CIA assisted drug cocaine drug traffic in the 80's as a factoid just to set a scene describing someone's childhood in a drug infested area.
In a weird bizarro world I would normally be happy with the hits that the FBI's been taking in this administration; problem is that it's done by an even more overt racist russian stooge trying to sabatoge the basic idea of democracy in this country so the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In general the the CIA and FBI need to have more outside political oversight

That was the other part that stood out to me. Like even if you ignore everything else (which is shameless as it is) how tf do you look at a group that's protesting against rape/sexual assault and think "these people are dangerous".I'm glad they're taking advocacy against rape, sexual assault, and police brutality seriously as a legitimate threat to society. Imagine if these proud institutions were ever toppled.
Some deep levels of bullshit all around here and it was very clearly a move for the FBI to target black groups. It's not surprising though, a lot of these same WS groups have long infiltrated law enforcement as a means to do exactly this.
