White Nationalists do indeed enjoy support from kindred spirits within US police departments. It's a widely reported and researched phenomena, both by the press and the FBI itself. I'd like to say that I'm surprised you didn't already know about this widely-reported phenomena, but I guess it doesn't get much coverage in your favored wingnut news sources. To wit:
A Reuters investigation on May 6 indicates that a significant number of U.S. police instructors have ties to a constellation of armed right-wing militias and white supremacist hate groups, a report that adds to a fast-growing body of evidence showing a deadly threat inside U.S. police departments.

Exactly 10 years ago this week, the FBI warned of the potential consequences of white supremacist groups infiltrating local and state law enforcement, indicating it was a significant threat to national security.

The F.B.I.’s counterterrorism division warned that white-supremacist groups were increasingly infiltrating local law enforcement, and federal agents working undercover against violent racist and far-right groups have long been instructed to keep local law enforcement in the dark, because of possible links or sympathies.

A data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website has revealed that serving police officers and public officials have donated money to fundraisers for accused vigilante murderers, far-right activists, and fellow officers accused of shooting black Americans.

There have even also been multiple hearings on the subject in Congress. Here's the transcript of a hearing entitled:
CONFRONTING VIOLENT WHITE SUPREMACY:
WHITE SUPREMACY IN BLUE - THE INFILTRATION OF LOCAL POLICE
If I were you, I would heed Abe Lincoln's advice:
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
