TF? Former Kentucky Ass. Police Chief accused of ordering his officer to shoot black teens and 'f**K their mothers if they are hot'

WARNING: This report contains graphic language.

A former Kentucky assistant Prospect Police chief has been accused of racism after he reportedly sent numerous racist messages to a Louisville Metro Police recruit, ordering him to shoot black juveniles if he catches any of them smoking marijuana.

According to a letter, Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell sent to Prospect Mayor John Evans, Todd Shaw sent the “highly disturbing racist and threatening Facebook messages” to the recruit.

The Courier-Journal reported that O’Connell told Evans that while Shaw and the recruit were discussing a training scenario in which the recruit was to write a paper on "the right thing to do" if he caught three juveniles smoking marijuana, Shaw stated: "Fuck the right thing. If black shoot them.”

Instructing the recruit on how to handle parents of a juvenile caught smoking pot, the former Kentucky assistant Prospect Police chief wrote: “If mom is hot then fuck her. If  dad is hot then handcuff him and make him suck my dick. Unless daddy is black. Then shoot him."

Shaw also wrote that "ML King was nothing but a racist (sic) womanizer ... but because someone shot him, I get a day off with pay each year."

Shaw has since been fired from the Prospect force, after working 20 years as a Louisville officer. He was dismissed last year, after O'Connell wrote the letter.

It was also learned that Shaw had filed to keep the offending messages confidential but after WDRB and WAVE requested them under the state Open Records Act, a judge ruled last week they are made public.

“While it is important to note that all the communications either sent or received by Shaw were sent privately, the city finds the content of the messages to be abhorrent, disgusting and reprehensible," Evans, the Prospect mayor, said.

Courier-Journal also revealed that Shaw was investigated last fall over allegations that he illegally assisted Kenneth Betts, one of two officers charged with sexually abusing teens who were in the Louisville department’s Explorer Scout program.
