If merely calling someone or their actions white supremacist makes them suddenly start self-identifying as a white supremacist and they don't see a problem with that, maybe the original accusation wasn't that wrong?
The FBI warned of white supremacist infiltration of police forces over a decade ago.
More importantly, the history of US policing is firmly rooted in white supremacy.
