Inside the New Push to Expose America’s White Supremacist Cops

by Kelly Weill

Fourteen years ago, the FBI documented racist infiltration of law enforcement in America. Now members of Congress want the full story.

In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation knew America’s police forces had a white-supremacist problem. But the internal report the agency compiled that year was so heavily redacted that almost no one knows what it contained.



Now, amid national protests over police brutality against Black Americans and new scrutiny of racist cops, lawmakers are pushing for the report’s full release.

A nearly blank version of the October 2006 report, titled “White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement,” has circled the internet for years, after it was released in a Freedom of Information request. The few unredacted lines are worrying: In addition to warning of historic attempts by groups like the Ku Klux Klan to gain employment with police, it refers to white-supremacist leaders’ “recent rhetoric” calling on followers to infiltrate police forces.

As the country grapples with racist policing—both overt and in the form of unconscious but often deadly biases—28 members of Congress are calling on the FBI and Justice Department to release the full, unredacted document, which some experts say is more relevant than ever.

“This report is more than 14 years old,” Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA), who spearheaded the effort last week, told The Daily Beast. “God knows where these officers that were looked at back then are in the rank and file of our police departments.”

  1. Certainly an issue. Places where most people do not consider, like California, held by many on the right as a liberal coven of satanic communists, but a closer look, reveals repeated problems and bodies littering the area. Malibu/Lost Hills comes to mind, where the 8 officers where sharing photos of Kobe Bryant crash site like trophies. Matrice Richardson case, and the litany of stories about the “porn ranch”. The nastiest stuff happens in an area controlled by the right.
    Still waiting on the investigation report of the Kobe Bryant crash. Ray Donovan has not resumed since that. Still no viable explanation.

  2. The police? Where I live cops own big houses and have little danger. We don’t need a police department at all.

    Most big city police take up 60 % of local budgets. Time to trim the fat as you can see most cops have gotten fat on the take.

    Walmart workers on the grocery front line should make more.

    Fock the police as BLM will not go away.
