In recent years, white supremacists have engaged in deadly rampages in Charleston, South Carolina, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and El Paso, Texas. Of course, one doesn’t need access to secret FBI terrorism investigations to find evidence of explicit racism within law enforcement. My 1992 undercover investigation didn’t reveal any connections between the neo-Nazi bombmakers and weapons traffickers and law enforcement. In fact, the local law enforcement officers that worked with me on the investigation were consummate professionals who I literally trusted with my life. But, however small, the presence of active white supremacists in law enforcement must be treated as a matter of urgent concern.
