It is, actually. Who do you think have been making up most of each American police department as of late?

That's an awfully broad generalization. Not going to do much about it since it's in response to bait, but be careful with those in the future.

"Most" is likely an overstatement, but there are some pretty direct ties between far right groups, white supremacist groups and the police:

EDIT: How had I not heard about this?
"In June 2020, three Wilmington, North Carolina, police officers were fired when a routine audit of car camera recordings uncovered conversations in which the officers used racial epithets, criticized a magistrate and the police chief in frankly racist terms, and talked about shooting Black people, including a Black police officer. One officer said that he could not wait for a declaration of martial law so they could go out and “slaughter” Black people. He also announced his intent to buy an assault rifle in preparation for a civil war that would “wipe ’em off the [expletive] map.” The officers confirmed making the statements on the recording, but they claimed that they were not racist and were simply reacting to the stress of policing the protests following the killing of George Floyd. In addition to the officers’ dismissal, the police chief ordered his department to confer with the district attorney to review cases in which the officers appeared as witnesses for evidence of bias against offenders. "
we aren't racist, we were just talking excitedly about murdering black people en masse because we are real stressed out...
