Islam is in the United States. Islam has infiltrated the U.S. Government. And now, it seems, Islam has infiltrated the people we trust to keep us protected. . . our local police.
Over the past three years, more than 100 Americans have been charged with trying to join ISIS or are suspected of supporting the group in some other way.

The police officer in question is a DC Metro Transit Cop. Nicholas Young is a 12 year veteran of the police force, and was last serving with one of the nation's most prominent transit systems, before he appeared in federal court in connection to charges that he tried to help ISIS.
Officer Nicholas Young has been charged with allegedly trying to assist ISIS operatives find more ways to communicate in secret. Thin and with a beard, Young's appearance in court was short. He was asked by the judge whether he has a lawyer or would like one appointed. He said, "I'd like an attorney." No plea was entered.
He will be back in court on Thursday with is new attorney to discuss when to hold detention and preliminary hearings.
If convicted of the charges against him, Young faces up to 20 years in prison.
Investigators state Young purchased technology-related items to send to the ISIS operatives so they could evade authorities when contacting one another. The ISIS operatives, however, were not Islamists, but FBI informants and agents from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Washington, which has been conducting a long undercover investigation in the case.
Metro transit police "initiated" the probe into Young, and the FBI has been investigating for "several years" since.
