Kentucky is where the police killed that lady in her bed. Now they are suing the man who tried to protect her.

Gov. Andy Beshear reacted to a report Friday showing a Kentucky State Police training slideshow quoting Adolf Hitler three times and advocating officers to use "ruthless" violence, calling it "unacceptable."

Students in the journalism program at Louisville's duPont Manual High School obtained the slideshow from the agency through an open records request and first reported it.

"This is absolutely unacceptable," said Beshear in an emailed statement. "It is further unacceptable that I just learned about this through social media. We will collect all the facts and take immediate corrective action."

As reported by the Manual Redeye, one slide in the training material for KSP cadets titled “Violence of Action” tells officers to “meet violence with greater violence” and be a "ruthless killer."

The slide then quotes a line from Hitler's "Mein Kampf" — "The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence" — one of three from the genocidal German dictator in the presentation.

The closing slide of the training states “Über Alles” in large text, a phrase that is associated with nationalism and Nazis in Germany.

I just read this in the Sunday Failing New York Times. This scoop was first published by a local high school paper. Good for them!
