US police and prosecutors, investigating a violent white supremacist event, are appeared to have been working with “Nazis,” seeking their help to target anti-racism protesters, court documents show.
Anti-fascist protesters, facing felony charges for participating in a counter-protest last year, told California judges that police were working with “fascists” to identify activists with “anti-racist” beliefs, The Guardian reported.
The rally turned violent when the “neo-Nazi” groups were met by hundreds of “anti-racism” protesters near California’s capitol building in Sacramento in June 2016. At least ten people were injured.
“It is shocking and really angering to see the level of collusion and the amount to which the police covered up for the Nazis,” Yvette Felarca, an anti-fascist organizer told court.
