        There is no upside for politicians to rein in police. Almost without exception, they are natural allies.

        Muslim supremacists are less than 1% of the white supremacists. I think you can guess yourself!

        This article insinuates that all civil servants jive with, in a roundabout way, Trump's fascist under/overtones.

        In times of great civil unrest this is a dangerous place to seed distrust amongst the populace.
