NOT 6,121-10 MILLION- Hate crimes makes network TV - Law & Order: Hate Crimes - Hate crimes are notoriously under reported at a factor of 40 to 1

"The FBI, in a report released Monday, said law enforcement agencies nationally reported a five-year high in hate crimes, with 6,121 in 2016. That’s up over 2015, which saw 5,818 such crimes reported, a near 5% increase.

However, 88% of participating law enforcement agencies reported no hate crimes in their jurisdictions, an ongoing challenge for data collection efforts. In comparison, the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that an annual average of 250,000 incidents of hate crime victimizations, about 40 times the number reported by the FBI."

"After 300 rejection letters from local newspapers around the country, Warren Leight decided it was time to ditch his journalistic pursuits, and we’re lucky he did. Warren has always had his thumb on America’s political pulse merging the most topical issues into his work.  While he never found an audience for his feel good hostage musical comedy, he found critical acclaim writing/producing Law & Order SVU.  His new “ripped from the headlines” show Law & Order: Hate Crimes is poised to take deeper look into the issue. And most importantly we talked about Ice-T, Emily’s rap name, twitter trolls and why people need to stop blaming him for Chris Meloni leaving SVU.":

What are the GRU’s capabilities?

"According to a Western assessment of GRU seen by Reuters, the GRU has a long-running program to run ‘illegal’ spies - those who work without diplomatic cover and who live under an assumed identity for years until orders from Moscow.

“It has a long-running program of ‘illegals’ reserved for the most sensitive or deniable tasks across the spectrum of GRU operations,” the assessment said.

The GRU is seen as a major Russian cyber player.

“It plays an increasingly important role in Russia’s development of Information Warfare (both defensive and offensive),” according to the Western assessment.

“It is an aggressive and well-funded organization which has the direct support of – and access to – [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, allowing freedom in its activities and leniency with regards to diplomatic and legislative scrutiny,” according to the assessment.

The GRU also has a considerable special forces unit. They are the elite of the Russian military.

'I don’t like rankings but the GRU is in the top levels of this business,' Onno Eichelsheim, director of the Netherlands Defence Intelligence and Security Service, told Reuters. 'They are a very real threat.”
