Kentucky State Police has received a wave of backlash after changing its Facebook cover photo to a picture with the slogan: “Our colour is grey, our gender is trooper”.
The cover photo, which was posted on the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Facebook page on Tuesday (4 May), received thousands of negative comments and shares for being “tone deaf” and anti-trans.
The Courier Journal reported the KSP cover photo received over 5,600 comments and nearly 4,000 shares before it was replaced on Wednesday (5 May) morning. The news outlet said one person commented that the photo was “tone deaf nonsense” and showed the force “finds using play on words at the expense of POC and trans (folks) acceptable”.
