The investigation into the photo included 58 interviews and determined that the gesture was done with instructor Karrie Byrd’s knowledge and the “Hail Byrd” photo was taken “by and at the direction of Instructor Byrd.”

According to the investigation, “Multiple cadets reported the photo was taken several times due to not everyone participating in the gesture. Ten of the cadets reported they did not make the gesture until Byrd told them to. These cadets stated that they only did it at that time due to fear of not graduating for disobeying the direction of an instructor.”

Seven of the cadets help up a closed fist, the investigation states.

When confronted about the photo by a secretary who found the photo offensive, Byrd said, “that’s why they do that because I’m a hard-ass like Hitler,” according to the investigation.

The investigation also states an instructor confronted Byrd’s class about the connotations of the gesture. A student told the instructor, “Look at me. I am black, and I am doing it.” The investigation notes the instructor reprimanded the class, but that Byrd told the group “she saw nothing wrong with the gesture and allowed it to continue.”

There might have been a time when doing that jokingly was okay but that time is long gone, especially for government employees.

Not really. It wasn't done in public before because even the young understood what it meant.
