The flyers, which were found in ziplock bags with bird seeds, read, "Most whites insist on making heroes and saints of criminal black." It went on to say, "Most whites are idiots" and called for recipients of the flyer to "pray for white Americans in 2020."

Police in Virginia are investigating white supremacist flyers that are appearing near local residential homes, according to Newsweek .
The flyers are affiliated with North Carolina's Ku Klux Klan chapter, the Loyal White Knights, according to the report.
In a Facebook post , the New Kent County Sheriff's office reported that residents discovered the flyers near or in their mailboxes. The flyer was found in a plastic ziplock bag filled with bird seeds.
Similar flyers appeared in Norfolk, Virginia, and in West Virginia last month, according to WVNSTV.
While authorities across Virginia are seeking any information linked to these flyers, New Kent County Police urges the public to not approach the individuals posting the flyers.
"Do not put yourself in harms way or confront anyone to do so," a spokesperson said in the Facebook post. "We would like to locate the parties involved. Similar items have been left in neighboring jurisdictions over the past six months or so."
Last month, more than 1 million people signed a petition for the US to label the KKK as a terrorist organization . The KKK is currently categorized as a domestic extremist group.

Virginia should check across the border in NC and ask the Lumbee Indians how to handle the Klan. They messed with the Lumbee in the late 50's and the Lumbee ran them out of the county, The Klan has never been back to Robeson County NC.
if memory serves, a bunch of NC klan shit got shot full of holes back in the 70's too. too bad...

It's nice to see there that there actually is something that the Virginia Police are allowed to protect us from.
What are they investigating? Conspiracy to litter?
You know it is hands off what they really should be taking care of.
So tracking down "offensive flyers" is what the new police force will be allowed to do. That and redirecting traffic during power outages, accidents, and riots (err meant protests).
