A training slideshow used by the Kentucky State Police (KSP) the second largest police force in the state urges cadets to be ruthless killer[s] and quotes Adolf Hitler advocating violence.

The slideshow was included in KSP documents obtained via an open records request by local attorney David Ward of Adams Landenwich Walton during the discovery phase of a lawsuit. Ward requested KSP materials used to train a detective who shot and killed a man in Harlan County, and Ward shared the presentation with Manual RedEye.

One slide, titled Violence of Action, in addition to imploring officers to be ruthless killer[s], instructs troopers to have a mindset void of emotion and to meet violence with greater violence.

A line from Adolf Hitlers fascist and anti-Semitic manifesto, Mein Kampf, is featured in the slide: the very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence.

The presentation also links to a Hitler page on Goodreads, a database of quotes and books.

Two other slides quoting Hitler bring his total to three, making him the most quoted person in the presentation.

One slide titled The Thin Gray Line uses a quote from Robert E. Lee and two photos of seemingly all-white groups of KSP officers in their traditional gray uniforms.

Its concerning that the Thin Gray Line slide has a quote from Robert E. Lee, given that Lee was the Confederate commander and Confederate uniforms were famously gray, Glaser said.

A closing slide of the Powerpoint simply states ber Alles in large text. The phrase, which was previously part of the German national anthem, translates to above all or above everything else, commonly used to signify national superiority. Modern Germans heavily associate the phrase with the Nazis.

Well that's not good. I'll even go as far as saying that's bad.

Sounds about par for the course tbh

And remember: White supremacists and neo-Nazis have infiltrated law enforcement at all levels.

De-fund, purge, and abolish.

Entire police departments are patrolling the streets proud to be acting and thinking like literal Nazis and there are people who still think policing as an institution is good and necessary.
