        Glad someone pointed it out to them b/c, you know, it's not like they could possibly figure out on their own that it was inappropriate.

        I saw the shirt and I have no clue what’s offensive about it. Awful graphic design but that’s beside the point.

        I read that, and it didn’t really explain anything. Why is he wearing a tshirt to court, is a valid question. Otherwise nothing to see here

        This is happening because of hateful rhetoric being amped up by Trump.

        Is no one else gonna touch on the fact that a police dept compared themselves to a violent biker gang? Who thought that was OK?

        The shirt displays a “sun cross” (replacing the letter “O” of “PowerShift”), a well-known and notorious white supremacist symbol. And more.

        So it's just a coincidence that the same cross is on Christian Identity/Aryan Nation websites?

        So if someone dons clothing w/ symbols commonly used by straight-up bigots, it's not cool to ask whether the wearer shares those beliefs?
