Minnesota extremist group members to be barred from policing

ST PAUL, Minn. — Members and supporters of extremist and white supremacists groups would be barred from serving police officers in Minnesota, under a new set of rules and guidelines adopted Thursday by the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, also known as the POST Board. . . .

There has been public comment along the way, and involvement of administrative law judges, which is common when state agencies and boards create or modify rules. Thursday's vote triggers another public comment period, so the POST Board will meet again Dec. 9 to respond to any new concerns raised.

Several statewide law enforcement groups have voiced opposition to some of the changes. Some have asserted the "extremist" is too vague and subjective, which could lead to legal entanglements. Chief McCarthy disagrees. . .

"Why they were so worried I’m not exactly sure, but if that moves the ball down the field, we’re going to do it," McCarthy explained.

They are a direct threat to America and Americans. This includes White Nationalists, all militia members, all groups encouraging violent responses to anything they disagree with.
