... so Brooklyn Center Police meant to shoot Daunte Wright with a taser, but ‘accidentally discharged’ an actual gun, huh

Explain to me how those weapons look and feel that similar.

twitter.com/i/events/13814…
Tell me — when Brooklyn Center Police left Daunte Wright’s body lying on the ground for hours...

... did they mistake the concrete for a stretcher?
1. We have an invasive surveillance state with cameras that make traffic cops obsolete - there’s...MAIL.

2. When someone ‘flees,’ they are the precise OPPOSITE of a threat.

3. If you can’t differentiate a taser from a gun, you shouldn’t have either.

4. This isn’t complex.
huh.
You and me: “I didn’t mean to shoot and kill him.”
— manslaughter conviction

Cop: “I didn’t mean to shoot and kill him.”
— paid vacation

Hands down, this has got to be one of the most [unintentionally] hilarious accounts on Twitter. Image
... who actually tags the FBI over mean Tweets?

This guy is wiiiiiiiiiiiiild, y’all. Image
I’m fascinated. If those Tweets are threats worth a literal “cc FBI” (also bananas and utterly hilarious, that part alone)...

...old dude needs to spend like, an hour, being me on Twitter.

White male fragility is a THING TO BEHOLD.

Another frustrating thing about working on white supremacist infiltration:

Damn near every case that comes to media attention is treated as isolated — regardless of organizational ties.

That’s a very serious issue complicating efforts to assess the scope of the problem.
Regardless of organizational affiliation or lack thereof (hello Beam’s Leaderless Resistance) — YES, there IS a white supremacist movement that explicitly understands itself as such.

How do I know? Look at Telegram references to... “the movement.”

This ain’t rocket science.
Case in point:

Maybe...just maybe... if you’re reporting on white supremacist activity at, say, Ft. Bragg - you may want to consider OTHER instances of white supremacist activity at Ft. Bragg over time.

JUST IN CASE THERE IS A COINCIDENTAL PATTERN THAT ACCIDENTALLY EMERGES.

One of the most interesting things about researching white supremacist infiltration is learning how many different ways the military and law enforcement can say “we don’t tolerate / we take this seriously / not who we are.”
Case in point:

Ft. Bragg has been “taking this seriously” for some 40 years.

Meanwhile , white supremacists have spent 40 years not taking Ft. Bragg seriously.
The section of my article that recounts nothing but examples of “we do not tolerate” is currently 14 pages.

I don’t even have 14 pages for the entire article.

There’s a reason I’m always harping on the problems with stereotypes of organized white supremacy as primarily the domain of an uneducated, poor, southern Civil Rights era Klan.

Welcome to #WhiteLivesMatter in SoCal.
Southern California has long been ground zero for laundering organized white supremacy, whether in terms of mainstreaming or infiltration.

#WhiteLivesMatter in Huntington Beach is just a continuation of SoCal racist tradition.

Thread here:
Why did the KKK Grand Dragon come to Huntington Beach’s #WhiteLivesMatter by himself, and incognito?

The contemporary white supremacist movement exploits perceptions of ‘lone wolf’ activity vs. an organized phenomenon.

That is, and has been, longtime on-the-record strategy.

I need to find a lawsuit filed by Gregory Withrow vs. ADL, SPLC, and a host of other [unknown to me] parties in either 2000 or 2001 - related to CA hate crimes laws.

Those are all the details I have, I'm clueless, and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help?

Case located thanks to @Puntchy - it turns out that the case file, however, was destroyed May 11, 2007.

Quick note below on why that news is supeeeeer unfortunate for those concerned about white supremacist infiltration and political violence.
@Puntchy Withrow joined the KKK at 14, founded the White Student Union in 1979, and later became a Tom Metzger acolyte & W.A.R. associate.

He suddenly renounced racism in 1987, after which Sacramento skinheads supposedly 'crucified' him in a revenge attack.

[Yes, there's more.]

Was this really a good historical moment to nominate a Waco guy for ATF?

... really?

Me and my migraine are logging off for the weekend.
“Hey, I’ve got a great idea since *checks calendar* April 19 is coming up - let’s issue an executive order on gun control AND nominate a Waco guy to lead the ATF!”

How’s the admin ‘taking right wing extremism seriously’ and yet manages to be...

... THIS bad at history
How did NO ONE in Biden’s admin catch this?

- April 19
- executive order
- gun legislation
- Waco
- ATF

Unbelievably stupid, frankly.
