Was that a gang sign they flashed from the open window as they passed? We know law enforcement has been run amok with white supremacist gangs for a while now. I guess this is just the latest iteration.

In 2017, the FBI reported that white supremacists posed a “persistent threat of lethal violence” that has produced more fatalities than any other category of domestic terrorists since 2000. 3 Alarmingly, internal FBI policy documents have also warned agents assigned to domestic terrorism cases that the white supremacist and anti-government militia groups they investigate often have “active links” to law enforcement officials. 4

They started as slave-catchers, and haven't changed much since then.

Honestly I like this much better than filming shouting ~~abuse~~ at them at a petrol station.

Honestly, I think freedom of speech (1st Amendment) is something that should be used and wouldn't call it's use abuse of any kind.

Communities need to share information like this. It is not prevention, but it is a detection and alerting tool.
