All current and future law enforcement officers and officials should undergo a thorough Federal-level Public Trust background Investigation to ensure they are not affiliated or have ties to racist, terrorist and/or specific hate groups.
Why is this important?
It's important to the safety and civil rights of minorities feel safe in knowing that the very same law enforcement officers and officials that have taken an oath to protect and serve the public aren't members of secret societies wih racist agendas. In light of events from Mike Brown to the senseless brutality and unwarranted arrest of Sandra Bland. We have now learned that Walter County Sheriff Glenn Smith, who made the first public comments about Ms. Bland's in-custody death, was suspended for documented cases of racism when he was chief of police in Hempstead, TX, in 2007. After serving his suspension, more complaints of racism came in, and Smith was actually fired.
