Police did not shoot this one, quite the contrary (can you guess
why?):

The mainstream arrives at the conclusion that we had reached
ages ago:

--- Quote ---
> White supremacist groups have infiltrated US law enforcement
agencies in every region of the country over the last two
decades, according to a new report about the ties between police
and far-right vigilante groups.
>
> In a timely new analysis, Michael German, a former FBI special
agent who has written extensively on the ways that US law
enforcement have failed to respond to far-right domestic terror
threats, concludes that US law enforcement officials have been
tied to racist militant activities in more than a dozen states
since 2000, and hundreds of police officers have been caught
posting racist and bigoted social media content.
>
> The report notes that over the years, police links to militias
and white supremacist groups have been uncovered in states
including Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois,
Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas,
Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.
>
> Police in Sacramento, California, in 2018 worked with
neo-Nazis to pursue charges against anti-racist activists,
including some who had been stabbed, according to records.
>
> And just this summer, German writes, an Orange county
sheriff’s deputy and a Chicago policeman were caught wearing
far-right militia logos; an Olympia, Washington, officer was
photographed posing with a militia group; and Philadelphia
police officers were filmed standing by while armed mobs
attacked protesters and journalists.
>
> The exact scale of ties between law enforcement and militias
is hard to determine, German told the Guardian. “Nobody is
collecting the data and nobody is actively looking for these law
enforcement officers,” he said.
>
> Officers’ racist activities are often known within their
departments and generally result in punishment or termination
following public scandals, the report notes. Few police agencies
have explicit policies against affiliating with white
supremacist groups. If police officers are disciplined, the
measures often lead to protracted litigation.
>
> Concerns about alleged relations between far-right groups and
law enforcement in the US have intensified since the start of
the protest movement sparked by the police killing of George
Floyd. Police in states including California, Oregon, Illinois
and Washington are now facing investigations for their alleged
affinity to far-right groups opposing Black Lives Matter,
according to the report.
>
> This week, police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, faced intense
scrutiny over their response to armed white men and militia
groups gathered in the city amid demonstrations by Black Lives
Matter activists and others over the police shooting of Jacob
Blake, a Black father of three who was left paralyzed after
being shot in the back. On Wednesday, Kyle Rittenhouse, a
17-year-old who appeared to consider himself a militia member
and had posted “blue lives matter” content, was arrested on
suspicion of murder after the fatal shooting of two protesters.
>
> Activists in Kenosha say police there have responded
aggressively and violently to Black Lives Matter demonstrators,
while doing little to stop armed white vigilantes. Supporting
their claims is at least one video taken before the shooting
that showed police tossing bottled water to what appeared to be
armed civilians, including one who appeared to be the shooter,
the AP noted: “We appreciate you being here,” an officer said on
loudspeaker.
>
> Police also reportedly let the gunman walk past them with a
rifle as the crowd yelled for him to be arrested because he had
shot people, according to witnesses and video reviewed by the
news agency.
>
> The Kenosha sheriff, David Beth, has said the incident was
chaotic and stressful.
>
> German told the Guardian on Wednesday: “Far-right militants
are allowed to engage in violence and walk away while protesters
are met with violent police actions.” This “negligent response”,
he added, empowers violent groups in dangerous and potentially
lethal ways: “The most violent elements within these far-right
militant groups believe that their conduct is sanctioned by the
government. And therefore they’re much more willing to come out
and engage in acts of violence against protesters.”
>
> There is growing awareness in some parts of the government
about the intensifying threat of white supremacy. The FBI and
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have directly
identified white supremacists as the most lethal domestic
terrorist threat in the country. According to German’s report,
the FBI’s own internal documents have directly warned that the
militia groups the agency is investigating often have “active
links” to law enforcement.
>
> And yet US agencies lack a national strategy to identify white
supremacist police and root out this problem, German warned.
Meanwhile, popular police reform efforts to address “implicit
bias” have done nothing to confront explicit racism.
>
> The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
>
> As the calls to defund police have grown in recent months, law
enforcement alignment with violent and racist groups only adds
further fuel to the movement, German said. “In a time when the
effort to defund police is getting some salience, the police are
behaving in such a way as to justify that argument.”

How do you fix this without disbanding every police force and
starting from scratch?

Disbanding must be done by the state, but while waiting for that
to happen, local communities can internally agree to recognize
NFAC-style groups instead of police as authoritative, and
discourage police from entering their territory using firepower,
thus creating a no-go zone. This can hopefully serve as a
temporary fix while waiting for action from above.

(I of course also think ICE and CBP should be included in the
above as even higher priorities, and they should not even be
required to draw their weapons.)
And while you talk about starting from scratch, doing so does
not prevent corresponding re-infiltration from scratch by
racists (though it may take a while). So then we look for
measures to filter out racists at the selection stage, but then
we remember that clever racists can pretend to be anti-racists
in order to get past the filters. Thus the only true solution is
to eliminate racist bloodlines via state control over
reproduction. Which is of course what we have been saying from
the beginning.
