When the cops worked with the Klan
It wasn’t all that long ago
Has it ever stopped?
This is mind bending, but it happened and not that long ago.
The ATF worked with Neo-Nazis and Klan to attack US labor organizers in North Carolina.
And the FBI actually set up over 40 Klan chapters in the same state.
Some data about this event:
November 3, 1979, in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. Five protest marchers were shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party at a rally.
The marchers killed were: Sandi Smith, a nurse and civil rights activist; Dr. James Waller, president of a local textile workers union who ceased medical practice to organize workers; Bill Sampson, a graduate of the Harvard Divinity School; Cesar Cauce, a Cuban immigrant who graduated magna cum laude from Duke University; and Dr. Michael Nathan, chief of pediatrics at Lincoln Community Health Center in Durham, North Carolina, a clinic that helped children from low-income families.
Police would normally have been present at such a rally to prevent outbreaks of violence, but few officers were present; the assailants were therefore able to escape with relative ease.
