29 German officers suspended for sharing photos of Adolf Hitler​

The group includes both male and female officers who are also accused of logging onto far-right chat rooms.
Thursday 17 September 2020

A German police force has suspended 29 officers after they shared pictures of Adolf Hitler and doctored images of refugees in gas chambers, officials have confirmed.

The group of officers, which included men and women, are also accused of using far-right chat rooms where swastikas and other Nazi symbols were posted.

They are from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), to the west of Germany , and risk losing their jobs pending an investigation.

Obviously, I believe in free speech. This, though, is pretty bad. Especially, I think the “gas chambers” part, unacceptable. Conduct unbecoming to their job.
 
Germany particularly seems to have issues with an extremist far-right, maybe unsurprisingly. I can think of a few domestic terrorist cases involving members of the far-right in the last few years.
 
That certainly needed nipping in the bud. That was a horrendous period in human history, and humanity surely doesn’t need to have it repeated.
