Congressional Testimony, Police Threat, and Two Years in Hiding
At 1:54:36 · chapter starts 1:52:40
The episode's most alarming segment: Frank is invited to testify before Congress on white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement — a subject he has direct personal knowledge of. The death threats arrive within hours. Days later, at a protest in downtown LA during the 2020 uprising, an LA County Sheriff's deputy gets out of a patrol car, calls Frank by name, and explicitly threatens to 'blow his fucking brains out.' Other deputies surround Frank when he tries to report it, and the threatening officer never denies the statement on the partial video Frank captured. The LA County Sheriff's Department's own documented gang problems within its ranks make the incident less surprising but no less disturbing. Frank goes into hiding for two years. He never filed a formal complaint because, as he notes, they investigate themselves.
