A Nazi flag hanging in a California Department Of Corrections (CDCR) office in Sacramento has been removed following public outcry and complaints. CBS 13 Sacramento reports the flag was noticed by pedestrians passing the building in downtown Sacramento, and officers have now taken the flag down. The flag and other signs could be seen through open blinds in the window of the office.

The state parole officers who put up the Nazi flag say it was intended to be used as a teaching tool for other staff to know what items to look out for, according to the news outlet.

The flag and other signs in the window were taken from prisoners at correctional facilities and displayed to staff as a way to show the type of hate signs that are found in jails. Along with the Nazi flag, a pair of SS bolts could be seen in the window. The bolts are a white supremacist symbol inspired by Nazi Germany’s police force.

Michael Johnson, a man who spotted the flag and spoke to CBS 13, told the outlet he believed it was a Halloween display before he noticed additional gang paraphernalia and hate symbols. - More & VIDEO...

1. Uhhh, a "teaching tool"? You need a flag up to remind you what a swastika looks like?

7. an F***ing Nazi flag in an office of a Correction official..........

This picture of a Nazi flag is all us citizens need to see to tell us where these "officials" heads are........
The correctional officers, the police, no wonder we are in such a hate filled country......

Trump and his corrupt Republicans condone it all, and in fact encourage it............

I'm not anxious to see where this mentality leads in the months, years ahead.............
