    It’s always the people you suspect the most

    So..

    convict the person as an enemy-of-the-state, & lock them in prison.

    It’d be done were they NOT police, so why hold different-law when it is police which do it?

    Integrity obliges, but politics never allows integrity to enforce accountability, does it?

    Never.

    & the consequences always snowball, until civil-viability becomes called-into-question, again & again & again, in the repeating-cycle..

      Reading this comment, it’s hard to decide which of us is experiencing the stroke.

    Because anti-fascist groups are more dangerous than actual fascists, obviously. 🤔

    This kind of thing was a huge problem when Germany tried to ban the NPD (a neo-nazi party) in the 2010s. Too many police/secret service infiltrators in way too high positions. In the end, they failed to ban the party.
