4. It's actually heartbreaking find that Nazi-sympathizers are involved in training our police

It's bad enough that many of the police in this country have nazi sympathies themselves. But to find that departments have been actively inculcating this monstrous bullshit in the training of the police is beyond forgiveness. This needs to be rooted out wherever it appears. Just as a cop who likes nazis needs to be made an ex-cop, so do the police commissioners and others involved in nazi training need to be made former "public servants."

FWIW, my Dad was in the Navy during WWII. He was able to kill a bunch of their brother Nazis -- a fact he wasn't proud of, but an act he would certainly have been willing to repeat again if called upon by the Federal Government.

It is not possible for me to restrain my anger about this. Kentucky is the most public, perhaps, but far from the only State training it's cops to be freaking storm troopers. This thing needs to be investigated and stopped, the perpetrators held to account, their "trainees" retrained to be Americans, for chrissakes.
