While Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has vowed to root out white supremacy and right-wing radicalism in the ranks of the Pentagon saying “ the job of the Department of Defense is to keep America safe from our enemies, but we can’t do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks,” the Department of Justice has made no such commitment.
White supremacist cops are an active threat to people of color and by definition cannot be trusted to protect and serve all individuals equally and without prejudice. I, as a person of color, am terrified of getting pulled over by a white supremacist cop and being harmed and/or injured.
This is even more true of the police officers who deal directly with the public day after day in local communities across this country, including officers who serve at our public airports, bus depots and train stations. It is time for Merrick Garland to remove these cops. Keep fighting, Candelaria Vargas, Daily Kos.
