Lots of people asking me about white supremacists at these protests. Pivot your attention to look closely at what protester are asking for, which includes safe harbor from white supremacy enshrined in policing.
Yes, there is overwhelming evidence of white supremacists at these protests, but they are in plain sight.

“Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses...”

George Floyd was murdered by a cop as police watched.
As for those white nationalists who are showing up in Hawaiian shirts with and without guns, those are your “alt-right 2.0.” They try to blend in, but never get the point. Others on the ground have told me about roving caravans of armed whites. Those are dangerous vigilantes.
We all must keep attuned to what protesters want and press for accountability from the state.

Those needy white nationalists, who will stunt to get media attention, don’t deserve an interview.

Please don’t ignore the history of racism in policing and it’s legacy of brutality
