(2,382 posts)... it describes an attitude, not a party membership. Someone doesn't have to be a member of the Klan or Aryan Nation to be a "White Supremacist."
But those cops dumb enough to allow their membership in such organizations to become known have been exposed in nearly every major urban area in the country, though the media don't like to dwell on such unsavory associations. Even if it's only a few, it's still a scary concept, and what has been exposed is only the tip of a very ugly iceberg.
The documentation is all over DU, AlterNet, Daily Kos, and every other news outlet not bought and paid for by the oligarchy. One might as well claim that "the jury's still out" on gravity; the evidence of systemic racism within police departments is overwhelming.
Incidentally, my younger stepson is a cop, and sadly, has married into a tribe of racists. "White Supremacists" are defined by their actions, not necessarily by membership in one of the multitude of diseased social clubs.
