I've only caught bits and pieces, but NPR did a series about one such case of a white priest murdered for supporting the Civil Rights movement: White Lies:

In Episode 3, we break down the conspiracy theory that emerged after the Rev. James Reeb's murder: that he was allowed to die or was killed because the civil rights movement needed a white martyr.

So Trump has been President for almost four years and NOW he decides to go all Buford Pusser during a COVID pandemic? Leading from behind as always.

Is it just a coincidence that Trump keeps going to Border Patrol for his goons instead of say, the FBI, ATF, or DEA? Is it because they're the most likely to want to just pick up anyone who "looks suspicious" and then figure out what to charge them with later?
