Kentucky police commissioner resigns after report on training slideshow with Hitler quotes

Quote:
Kentucky Police Academy used a training slideshow as recently as 2013 that advocated for violence during altercations and instructed cadets to be "ruthless in their actions." The news of the slideshow was first reported by journalists at the Manual Red Eye, the student publication at duPont Manual High School in Louisville.

Titled "The Warrior Mindset," the training slideshow used quotes from historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, J.R.R Tolkien, and Confederate General Robert E. Lee. A slide captioned "Violence of Action," included a quote from Adolf Hitler's notorious manifesto "Mein Kampf," which said, "The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence."

According to the Manual Red Eye report, Hitler is the most quoted historical figure in the entire presentation, which also encourages cadets to have "a mindset void of emotion" and to "meet violence with greater violence." One slide reads, "Be the loving father, spouse, and friend as well as the ruthless killer."

For a long time, in all too many police departments, there has been very poor quality control on police training workshops. All manner of cranks have led police training workshops.

In the wake of 9/11, a bunch of anti-Muslim bigots ran around purporting to give police training on terrorism.

Back in the 1980's and early 1990's, the "Satanic ritual abuse" scare was fueled, in part, by police-training workshops on "Satanism" and "occult crime."

Those statements in the manual reflect the mentality of an occupying army

How long was this manual in force?
Who wrote it?
Who approved it?
How long has this been secret?
