Exactly! Much of our police forces ARE the KKK (and Nazis). See Kentucky, Texas, et. al. Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2020 #8

Isn’t Miley Cyrus the actress who plays Hannah Montana? I never watched so I’m clueless.

Never mind. It’s the Superman/Clark Kent thing right?

Yep. And the same reason you don't see them with the proud boys, boogaloo bois, american nazi party, skinheads, etc. Can't be two places at once.

Took me a while to work it out, then it hit me . . .

But yes, if you want to be racist, KKK aligned, white supremacist, but stay legit, you become a cop. Act out your basic biases whenever you can, with impunity.

Not all cops are of course, but the good ones stay quiet about the systemic problems in the force. That makes them complicit.
