Officials are investigating a group of West Virginia corrections trainees who were photographed seemingly making a Nazi salute in their uniforms.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said in a statement that he ordered the termination of any state employees to be found involved in the photo.

Jeff Sandy, secretary of the West Virginia Dept. of Military Affairs and Public Safety, said in a memo to employees Wednesday that he condemned the photo"in the strongest possible terms."

Its just a salute. Used way before National Socialist Germany, there is a non white with his hand up also and this is click bait, anti white bs.

Trying to regain their status as a 'Blue' State

They should be fired not suspended. It would be dangerous to allow any of them into a position of authority

To give a salute honoring the most evil period of human history is extremely offensive. It cannot, should not, ever be done even in jest. Those who give it should be identified, dismissed and removed from any public organization they represent.......

UPDATE: The photographer said “Raise your hand if you are glad that Hillary lost in 2016”.

Of course they were. This is realDonaldTrump racist amerika ImpeachTrump

Nazism is alive and well and loudly supported by this administration. Stephen Miller is an overt white supremacist and Trump is as well. We treat this behavior like it is not important and we know, full well, how dangerous it is, especially within our criminal justice system...

I wish their faces weren't blurred. They are grown ass adults. They deserve to be put on blast for this BS.

These are trainees. The indoctrination starts early. With the badge comes power, the attitude, 'I can do whatever the fuck I want'. It's the police/cop/ correctional mentality. How many times have we seen it in action?

They should not be hired send them packing

You guys do know a salute can only be rendered while standing at attention, right?

🤣🤣🤣Sounds like something Mel Brooks would do

Bigots in West Virginia?!? No way!

rose2art Good it's not a joke idiots

Men, these people gravitate towards these type of jobs. The government needs to keep an eye on who they hired for these jobs of power. Nazis are all over these days it seems.

So if you're white and wave with the right hand you're a nazi ?

Despedidos

Why blur? This picture is literal public record. There is no legal reason the news or corrections has to do this.

Inbreeding results.

'Hail Byrd' is not a sign. There is no boundary around it. It looks like text superimposed on the photo. There are a number of fists. This is a massively doctored photo. Smart money is on this being yet another racebaiting hoax from the EnemyOfThePeople.

Fire them all!

Why blank out their faces? They must've known they were posing for a picture, and as adults they made this choice. Expose them, list their names. Their training was laid for with tax payers money, as well as their salaries. Let people see what they've paid for.

Why do they have their fking faces covered? Wonder how The Police dont know why people don’t thrust them

eji_org

Holy s***! Impeachment and removal can't happen soon enough - look what the spread of the world according to Trump does!

HAIL HYDRA!

😅😅😅 The story brings up Democrat Senator Robert Byrd a member of the KKK

It's West Virginia....🙄

getting hung on White House wall

Show all of these people's faces.

It was a meme cmon let dark humor be accepted!!!

“Suspended”🤔

These people are GROWN! SHOW THEIR FUCKING FACES!!!

Gee, what a surprise

Wow. Sick.

“seemingly”

Well. West Virginia

Soon to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom!

Why does it seem that the worst people go into any type of law enforcement. It is a profession that attracts the worst type of people.

A Trump Wet Dream

Disgusting and quite frightening

This!

Why pixilate their faces? They should be exposed.

Dude top left... Maybe he was confused?

The Einsatzgruppen is alive and well in West Virginia.

This is America under Trump.

Why blur their faces?

Here they are out of uniform...

Seemingly my ass. Literally.

Fire them all

WestVirginians are the best people! Deplorables Nazis

I don’t know this story... but of any time someone raises their right hand is a Nazi, my 1st graders have some explaining to do.

To bad their faces are all blurred! A nazi salute - it’s chilling.

Fake news

Do you... not see the words in the background? Everyone here needs to give their balls a tug. Grow up

Seemingly?

WestVirginiaAG this is gross and unacceptable

Maybe they all had go the bathroom or wanted ice cream. How about new the answer 😋

If true, they should be terminated immediately, not just suspended.

Don’t just fire these guys - Flag them to be not hirable at a security / police / mall cop - any job that requires them to carry a weapon and a position of authority

FUCKERY

I’m waiting for someone to investigate Fresno Police chief JerryDyerFresno holding a noose rope. The same guy who is running for Fresno Mayor 👎🏽 He is running against JanzAndrew for Fresno mayor Janz ran against DevinNunes I’m voting JanzForMayor and PhilArballo2020

AntifaWatchdog pega eles

? This is very disturbing. It’s a-shame that they do not have good judgment in knowing what is acceptable in society. And if they do know, It’s a-shame they did not have the courage to Stand up against it.

that is Amerikka not shocked now waiting on the fake Americans to say it was joke.

Again this is TRUMP and GOPs idea of 'MAGA' !

Fire them all...start again!?

Seriously. It’s like everyone turned into their kids actual ages. Ffs.

voke, they're sceke

Wow...

Jeez West Virginia? Shocker. 😏

I wonder what the breakdown between 2016 Clinton v. Trump voters is.

They must watch The Watchmen

Following the example of West Virginia's favorite son, Robert Byrd

Excuse me but that doesn't look like a Nazi salute, it looks more like raising hands.

Then they graduate and earn $60 grand a year to talk on their cell phones all day...

WV, what do you expect, that’s trumps base
