    I'm sure the black people in the community that this department presides over trusts their police department even more now after this.

    What an intelligent move on their part. They definitely seem like a police department that cares for their community and what's to solve problems rather then being edgelords.

    Do you think they really care what black people in their community think of them?

    I don't know. Pragmatically, you would think their job would be easier if the people they serve trust them.

    Perhaps they are appealing to the people they actually serve by doing this...

    Maybe or maybe they are low iq edgelord douchebags proving my point that I've made several times on this message board that many departments in this country need to up their hiring standards.

    I'm inclined to believe its a combination of the two.

    Nike isn't run by a bunch of dopes. Trump is a fool if he thinks he can fire of tweets to hurt this company. They know how to maneuver and they know their audience and they know WTF they are doing.

    Racism? But .....it looks like there are some white people wearing the shirts in the mug shots?

    In any case, looks like a pretty stupid move by that police department.

    Is that worse than telling lies all the time? Which qualifies you for many positions in the white house.

    I guess everyone has their price. Wish Kaep would have taken the suit to court. He is getting the Nike Money.
