    KSP spokesperson Lieutenant Joshua Lawson wrote, “The quotes are used for their content and relevance to the topic addressed in the presentation. The presentation touches on several aspects of service, selflessness, and moral guidance. All of these topics go to the fundamentals of law enforcement such as treating everyone equally, service to the public, and being guided by the law.”

    I guess there aren't a lot of sources for quotes on police work other than Hitler?

      Wait, they didn't just deny that this is authentic??? They are actually acknowledging it as the real article and are saying "well yes, we do quote Hitler and encourage our cops to cap everyone, BUUUUUTTT you're taking it out of context"?

      Brazen. Someone prepare a wall and a few AKs

      Hey, these Hitler quotes aren't about police work, they're about the fascist core values of being a xenophobic bigot and trusting blind faith over intellect. How would that relate to police work in any... oh shit oh fuck :surprised-pika:
