Scapegoats for their own misdeeds



We've been seeing this crop up in right wing circles for a spell. Obviously it's being shared in a piss poor attempt to to align the Nazis with the modern day abolitionist movements.

SO LET'S FACT CHECK.

Prior to the 1930's Germany, the police forces were very decentralised and municipal in nature. The nazis in their rise to power instituted reforms to create a police state. The first of these was The Enabling Act 1933 which pretty much gave political power across a very diverse Germany, to the singular state authority. Part of this process was the creation of a unified central command for the police.


They were then placed under the control of the SS, who in turn placed members of the Gestapo and security services within the ranks of the local police forces. Subsequently the focus changed and they began to treat crime as a matter of race. 

All police forces act on the mandate of the state.
