I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that ven diagram is damn close to a circle...
I think all white cops are some degree of white supremacists.
All cops. Their job is literally to uphold a set of laws that favor white people.
Tangentially related, the other day a coworker was whining about how unfair life was, and how he, as a straight white male, faces more discrimination on a daily basis than anyone else in America.
I just kind of stared at him silently until he stopped talking.
When he started going on about how the mean old IRS took SO MUCH of his business sale and MADE HIM pay his employees some of it "like they deserve any of it" and how he shouldnt have to work another day in his life but has to because all his millions got stolen by the gubment
No, they uphold laws for rich people. The racism helps with keeping them focused on a culture war instead of them realizing the rich people are fucking over the cops as much as they are the poors.
The way the laws are enforced targets black people more often than white. All of them poor, of course. But it's racism on top of classism.

And the colored cops are complacent.
Or hoping to be seen as “one of the good ones.” It’s narcissistic self-preservation by attaching themselves to the very people who would be oppressing them. Like joining a prison gang to avoid getting murdered, but then you need to actually do gang shit to stay in and keep your protection.
my RATM reference alarms are going off
"Hey, Cletus, you got a receipt for that tiki torch?"
I mean asking for a permit is probably gonna end up nowhere, police usually issue those for protests and they're definitely gonna look the other way on white supremacists getting them.
"Whaddya think, I'm gonna deny a permit to myself??"

This Woman wants to see Reporters die
That's the joke.
The News has no problem doing thousands of interviews with peaceful protesters.
Ah, to be old enough to remember the neonazi white supremacist protests when reporters asked them if they had a permit, if they planned on being peaceful and if they were going to be yelling racial and ethnic slurs in a respectful way. Then some of the neonazi protesters didn't do the last part and were punched in the face.
After that, the neonazis stopped having protests, quietly entered politics, lobbied the right people and now here we are today. Funny how life turns out...
