The US police and military have long harbored white supremacists. In recent years, white nationalist have mounted a more organized effort to infiltrate the many police, intel and military units, burrowing in as "ghost skins": The report, based on FBI investigations and open sources, warned, for example, that skinhead groups were actively encouraging their members to become “ghost skins” within law enforcement agencies, a term the report said white supremacists use to describe members who “avoid overt displays of their beliefs to blend into society and covertly advance white supremacist causes.” -- White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement, FBI Counterterrorism Division, 10/17/2006 On a separate but parallel path, the police gangs in Los Angeles make little effort to conceal their existence and carry tatoos to show they have been initiated. The ghost skins in the police reveal themselves by their tendency to accumulate the most complaints. The gang members carry out brutal initiation-related murders and assaults; they appear to have been limited to LA, but in 2017 a group of officers in Washington DC were wearing shirts with the logo at left, similar to tattoos worn by LA police gang members.
Police officers are increasingly wearing the "Punisher" death head, which
has no lower jaw, even on the job and while policing demonstrations. While
the real Punisher kills racists and corrupt police, we suspect that
interpretation is lost, especially as this symbol is sometimes accompanied
by orange hair on the death head, to denote Trump as in
this photo from a protest in NY on 2/5/21. |
How to Root Out Extremism in the U.S. Military 2/1/2021 Defense
One: "Earlier research suggests that far-right extremists disproportionately
possess military experience. We need to know why. Some speculate that veterans
are targeted for recruitment by white supremacist and far-right groups. But
there could be other reasons. Was trauma left untreated? Are some veterans
predisposed to these beliefs because they are more tolerant of violence than the
general population? Were some individuals separated from the military precisely
because they held extremist views? "
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Police No Evil 1/31/2021 Lawfare: "One of the
many upsetting aspects of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was the
passive police performance, which stands in stark contrast to the aggressive
security response to Black Lives Matter protests, among others. The University
of Arizona’s Jennifer Earl and David Cunningham of Washington University in St.
Louis explain this common pattern of underestimating the threat from right-wing
extremists, and they offer valuable suggestions on how to improve policing."
A Pro-Trump Militant Group Has Recruited Thousands of Police, Soldiers, and
Veterans 11/1/2020 Atlantic
Secret society 'gang' of L.A. cops dubbed the Banditos who are marked by skull
tattoos and deliver dead rats to enemies are 'protected by a code of silence in
sheriff's department', inspector general finds 10/6/2020 Daily Mail: "L.A.
County's Inspector General's Office has produced a damning report into a
'gang-like' secret society of cops, known as the Banditos, who it claims are
protected by a code of silence among officers including L.A. County Sheriff Alex
Villanueva."
In L.A. County, Gangs Wear Badges 9/4/2020 Intelligencer: "According to the
whistleblower complaint, Deputy Vega, who shot Guardado six times in the back,
was “chasing ink” — a term used to describe efforts to impress the Executioners
in order to be drafted into their ranks and obtain their signature tattoo: a
skeleton backed by flames, brandishing a rifle and wearing a Nazi-style helmet."
White supremacists and militias have infiltrated police across US, report says 8/27/2020 Guardian: "In
a timely new analysis, Michael German, a former FBI special agent who has
written extensively on the ways that US law enforcement have failed to respond
to far-right domestic terror threats, concludes that US law enforcement
officials have been tied to racist militant activities in more than a dozen
states since 2000, and hundreds of police officers have been caught posting
racist and bigoted social media content."
Hidden in Plain Sight: Racism, White Supremacy, and Far-Right Militancy in Law
Enforcement 8/27/2020 Brennen Center: "Yet despite the FBI’s
acknowledgement of the links between law enforcement and these suspected
terrorist groups, the Justice Department has no national strategy designed to
identify white supremacist police officers or to protect the safety and civil
rights of the communities they patrol. Obviously, only a tiny percentage of law
enforcement officials are likely to be active members of white supremacist
groups. But one doesn’t need access to secretive intelligence gathered in FBI
terrorism investigations to find evidence of overt and explicit racism within
law enforcement. Since 2000, law enforcement officials with alleged connections
to white supremacist groups or far-right militant activities have been exposed
in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and
elsewhere."
Who is Officer Luke Reitruoc? Why did Luke Reitruoc shoot Jacob Blake at
Kenosha, Wisconsin? 8/24/2020 Gizmo Sheets: "Luke Reitruoc real name is
Luke Courtier works as an officer at Kenosha Police Department and some of his
posts on Facebook from his past are against black people. Luke Reitruoc posted
about supporting the Hamilton Shooting in 2014. His words were “Really?? This is
pathetic. It was a good shoot, get over it already”."
The police have a white nationalist problem — and have for at least 15 years 6/2/2020 Forward: "Amid
the recent rise in anti-Semitism, Jewish community leaders have grown
increasingly reliant on local police for protection and security consultation.
Some in the Jewish community are calling to reexamine this relationship, citing
racism in law enforcement and the discomfort Jews of color might feel around
police as a result. Levin, who is Jewish, argued that Jews could leverage the
historic relationships with both the police and with African-Americans for the
betterment of society. “It gives us a unique opportunity to try to serve as a
bridge with many others to address the horrible issue of racism which Jews in
particular have a strong moral imperative to address,” he said."
As white supremacy festers in America, Florida police agencies report few,
sometimes even zero, hate crimes 8/10/2019 Sun Sentinel: "Florida is one of
the worst offenders when it comes to a nationwide problem of inadequate
reporting of hate crime, said Brian Levin, director of Cal State San
Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. “Large Florida cities
have been notorious for having among the worst hate crime reporting in the
nation," Levin said. "I don’t know what is going on there, but somebody should
shake something up.”"
FBI: Gang members infiltrating America are hidden in the ranks of police
departments 7/22/2019 Law Enforcement Today: "Four deputies were put on
paid leave following the aforementioned allegations. Sheriff Alex Villanueva
minimized the danger, calling the gangs a “cultural norm,” and believes that any
problems with these types of activities were eliminated as a result of previous
investigations. Cultural norm?"
Police violence, cliques, and secret tattoos: fears rise over LA sheriff 'gangs' 8/6/2018 Guardian: "“They
stopped him for no reason. No reason!” Sweeney said in an interview with the
Guardian. “He’d gone out to buy a Sprite and a single [cigarette]. And it hit me
that something was going on, that they were doing this to become a member of
something or to gain favor … because this is not policing.”"
