During Nazi Germany, Germans who classified themselves as white or pure white functioned as an auxiliary police force; monitoring, arresting and watching Jews (German Jews were classified as 'not pure white' - the Jews were not considered to be white people or aryans [MORE]), This "watch" of the Jews enabled Nazi control because Jews vastly outnumbered them. In photo, George Zimmerman (a white man who the white media classified as a "neighborhood watch captain") is warmly greeted by white folks at a gun show in Florida last year. He killed Trayvon Martin in his own gated community. Then he had a fake trial.
From [HERE] Michael Youlen stopped a driver in a Manassas apartment complex on a recent night and wrote the man a ticket for driving on a suspended license. With a badge on his chest and a gun on his hip, Youlen gave the driver a stern warning to stay off the road.
The stop was routine police work, except for one fact: Youlen is not a Manassas officer. The citation came courtesy of the private force he created that, until recently, he called the “Manassas Junction Police Department.”
He is its chief and sole officer. He is a force of one. He is white.
And he is not alone. Like more and more white Virginians, Youlen gained his police powers using a little-known provision of state law that allows private citizens to petition the courts for the authority to carry a gun, display a badge and make arrests. The number of “special conservators of the peace” — or SCOPs, as they are known — has doubled in Virginia over the past decade to roughly 750, according to state records.
The growth is mirrored nationally in the ranks of private police, who increasingly patrol corporate campuses, neighborhoods and museums as the demand for private security has increased and police services have been cut in some places [white folks].
The trend has raised concerns in Virginia and elsewhere, because these armed officers often receive a small fraction of the training and oversight of their municipal counterparts. Arrests of private police officers and incidents involving SCOPs overstepping their authority have also raised concerns.
The Virginia legislature approved a bill Friday increasing the training and regulation of SCOPs. The private officers would now be required to train for 130 hours, up from 40 hours — less than the state requires for nail technicians, auctioneers and security guards.
