He wore a wire, risked his life to expose who was in the KKK

Today, he and his family live under new names in a Florida subdivision of manicured lawns where his kids play in the street. Geese wander slowly between man-made lakes. Apart from testifying in court, the 50-year-old has never discussed his undercover work in the KKK publicly. But he reached out to a reporter after The Associated Press published a series of stories about white supremacists working in Florida’s prisons that were based, in part, on records and recordings detailing his work with the FBI.

“The FBI wanted me to gather as much information about these individuals and confirm their identities,” Moore said of law enforcement officers who were active members of or working with the klan.

“From where I sat, with the intelligence laid out, I can tell you that none of these agencies have any control over any of it. It is more prevalent and consequential than any of them are willing to admit.”

Moore said he noted connections between the hate group and law enforcement in Florida and Georgia. He said he came across dozens of police officers, prison guards, sheriff deputies and other law enforcement officers who were involved with the klan and outlaw motorcycle clubs.

7. This guy gets the problem: the FBI's denial, and therefore, enforcement bias.

“From where I sat, with the intelligence laid out, I can tell you that none of these agencies have any control over any of it. It is more prevalent and consequential than any of them are willing to admit.”

Racism. Their denial of it in the form of doing just enough to appear to be on top of domestic terrorists. Just enough is never enough, though.

This guy gets the problem: the FBI's denial and enforcement bias.

My theory
1. FBI enforcement inertia is driven by "prevalent and consequential" pro-white, pro-Republican bias in most law enforcement at local levels -- not just in Florida, but across 50 states. That bias justifies our distrust in the FBI to monitor violent RW Americans. If the FBI literally cannot see planned domestic violence for what it is -- and not as the planners' present themselves -- they never will.

2. The nation is too big to manage longstanding race problems that drive crime. With 50 states, 5 law enforcement jurisdiction levels in states, 11 federal district courts -- the law enforcement challenge is too much.

3. The rest of us must be ready to see that any civil race war will divide them up into the antiracist oath keepers and racist white supremacy loyalists.
