The post Police Officer Advised Rookie to Shoot Black Teens Caught With Weed appeared first on High Times.
Times are a-changing, but not so much in Kentucky. A former Kentucky police officer advised rookie to shoot Black teens caught with pot. This assistant police chief, a man once paid to protect and serve the fine folks of the Bluegrass State, has been ousted and even faces criminal charges after dispensing this advice to a young Louisville Metro Police recruit.
A report from ABC News confirms that Todd Shaw, a twenty-year veteran with the Louisville police force, sent “highly disturbing racist and threatening Facebook messages” to the recruit in the early part of 2017. The officer, who was suspended and later terminated from his position, also told the recruit to sexually abuse the parents of Black cannabis smokers, according to documents provided by Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’ Connell.

This controversial message exchange stems from a conversation between Shaw and the recruit over “the right thing to do” if he caught black teens smoking marijuana. It was during this discussion that Shaw wrote, “Fuck the right thing. If black shoot them,” reports the Courier-Journal.
At that point, Shaw took his insanity up a notch by suggesting that the recruit sexually manhandle the parents of the dead, Black teens busted for smoking pot. According to O’Connell’s documents, Shaw wrote: “If mom is hot then fuck here. If dad is hot then handcuff him and make him suck my dick. Unless daddy is black. The shoot him.”
In a separate Facebook message, Shaw also told the recruit that housing projects should be torn down.
