The point was that they clearly aren't checking up on anyone they hire. Meaning literal nazis can easily get in without anyone noticing or caring.
...I mean that implies they wouldn't hire Nazis if they were screening.
America inspired the Nazis. This is nothing new. Our country is founded on genocide and built by slavery. The only reason decorum has been maintained as long as it has is because the propaganda/distraction machine worked so well until they broke it on Israel and forgetting to give people enough money to eat.
Not really, it implies they have plausible deniability because they can just pretend a "mistake" like that is a one off, if discovered. "Oh whoopsy, one slipped through!"
The LA Sherriff's Department was revealed to have gangs in their ranks which would go out and party and get commemorative gang tattoos after they killed their first person.
Basically nothing happened as a result.
You drastically overestimate the extent to which there is oversight or accountability for any so-called 'law enforcement' in this country.
You're making a huge mistake if you think I believe that would ever care from a morality standpoint. What I am saying is that they would prefer to appear to be checking and also not have records indicating they would hire known racists/criminals. My theory seems to line up with the author of this article's experience.
Again, they got gang tattoos. They're not worried about hiding anything or keeping up appearances. They have guns and the government on their side. They are the dogs of the ruling class. Most of us don't even have guns... yet.
Not to even get into the DHS Twitter posting "14 words" tweets and other barely-veiled white supremacist propaganda.
They hired her without even bothering to check that she's a massive ICE detractor, how does that support your position? It's a hiring process, a necessary part of getting boots on the ground, not a meaningful screening process and not really presented as one.
If I'm wrong and you're right then they literally would not have been requesting that paperwork at all. I'm not sure what this conversation is because we are on the same side and I haven't remotely said anything in defense of any kind of decency on the behalf of law enforcement. I was just pitching a reasonable theory as to why they'd request screening paperwork at all if it literally didn't matter and you'd get accepted anyhow.
