Portland Police Riot Training Presentation Included Graphic Slide on Brutalizing 'Dirty Hippies' [View all]

The city of Portland revealed Friday that it had discovered an “offensive” and “unauthorized” slide appended to a presentation meant to train Portland police on riot control.

The meme depicts an officer with a raised fist, apparently in the act of beating of a long-haired citizen. The overlaid text reads:

And the Lord said…

Woe be unto you, dirty hippy;
For thou stinketh of patchouli and BO;
For thou talk of Marx, yet know him not;
For thou has bills, yet have not paid;
For thou has dreadlocks and white skin.

And so I shall send among you,
My humble servants with hat, and with bat;
That they may christen your heads with hickory,
An anoint your faces with pepper spray.
