A Metro Transit police officer has been arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State, marking the first time a U.S. law enforcement officer has been accused of trying to aid the terrorist group.
Nicholas Young, 36, of Fairfax, Va., was arrested Wednesday morning at Metropolitan Police Headquarters in Washington and his employment was terminated. Young, at the request of an undercover federal agent, sent codes for mobile messaging cards that Young believed would be used by Islamic State fighters overseas to communicate, according to an indictment filed in federal court in Alexandria, Va.

Well, we’ll have to watch as it develops....but I tend to think the Police don’t need more cannon fodder for the press to fling and will keep this low level news....and rightly so...
Black Life Matters are crazier than a house full of lunatics, it takes very little for them to get their pants in a knot...in fact nothing at all seems to do the trick.
obama is helping Iran get nuclear weapons and is funding and supplying weapons to ISIS. Arrest him!
Here’s a question for all the Jack Boot Lickers out there:
Is this guy still unimpeachable and perfect just because he wears a badge?
Just curious.
He is a Muslim convert according to the article.
“Authorities say Young, a convert to Islam, was acquainted with two men who eventually were convicted in terrorism cases. Young knew Zachary Chesser, who in 2010 admitted trying to join a Somali terrorist group and made threats to the creators of TV’s “South Park,” and Amine El Khalifi, who was arrested in 2012 for plotting to bomb the Capitol, the court papers said.”
FNC says he converted to Islam and had a tattoo of a Nazi Eagle on his neck... and that he also met with some Imams...
Photo, anyone?
I didn’t see that in the article, nor in any other articles I browsed, but I’ll look again.
Those article tells in detail all of his weird involvements, i.e. Dressing as a jihadi for Halloween , hurting animals as a kid, etc..
“He told law enforcement at one point that he had traveled to Libya twice in 2011 to fight against Moammar Gaddafi. And he allegedly gave a person working with law enforcement advice on how to travel to Syria — including how to avoid undercover agents. Believing the person had actually made it abroad, authorities said Young then complied with a request to purchase gift cards for mobile messaging accounts used in Islamic State recruiting. The codes, worth $245 according to authorities, were redeemed by the FBI”
During the years he was surveilled and contacted by both FBI agents and undercover operatives, Young expressed concern about such tactics. He told associates he had several “burner phones,” according to a court affidavit, and regularly took the battery out of his cell phone to avoid detection. He warned associates to avoid social media. When trying to move money out of the country last year, Young allegedly said, “Unfortunately I have enough flags on my name that I can’t even buy a plane ticket without little alerts ending up in someone’s hands.”
.
Yep, take him off the street
Authorities, who had been surveilling Young for six years, said there was never any credible or specific threat to the Metro system. But the court papers detail vague threats over the years to kill FBI agents and informants or bring guns into federal court. Young allegeldy threatened to kidnap and torture an agent who interviewed him, and leave the head of anyone who betrayed him in a cinder block at the bottom of a Virginia lake.
Okay, I read again and saw where it said he is a convert to the Mohammedan murder cult. What a peach, this guy.
Yea, the way the article is laid out, it’s easy to think it ends before it does. Just need to keep scrolling.
Here’s a good briefing from the FBI

I read the entire article the first time earlier today, just somehow missed that brief phrase mentioning his conversion to Islam....
faifax, va is breeding gound of terrorists. thanks tim kaine.
It has been since looooong before Tim Kaine came to power. The Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church just by itself has launched a veritable who’s who of top terrorists, yet it remains in operation.
They label them ALL as psychos whether they are or not to force them into the criminal system.
If they were not called psychos, they would have to call them enemy combatants and we can’t have that because this is not a war according to the Obamatollah.
We should insist that they measure dopamine and serotonin levels to see if they are even close to being deranged.
I wonder what name he uses at the mosque?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
