if there is a correlation (weak? strong?) between sheriff’s offices, their youth engagement programs and radicalized young people? This shooting in Utah has an echo of the shooting at Florida State University. Young people who are already familiar with weapons improve their skill by association with law enforcement departments. The radicalization may come from online groups, but is it possible it also comes from law enforcement mentors?
