The largest police union in the U.S. demanded that Amazon remove a shirt from a third-party vendor that supports the Black Lives Matter movement. The Fraternal Order of Police wants the online retailer to follow Walmart and remove a shirt that sports the words “Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter” across the chest, The Guardian reported Friday. Walmart removed the shirt from its store after the union called it “offensive.” FOP President Chuck Canterbury wrote in a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to support the union in “increasing the bonds of trust between the men and women of law enforcement and the communities they serve.”



Who wants to give me odds Bezos tells them to F/O.

I hate the whole BLM movement, but this is bullshite. If Amazon wants to sell them, then they should. I hope they don't cave in to this whining.

I hope he tells them to F Off. Conservatives want to complain about PC culture and then have t shirts that hurt their feelings removed from shelves. Hypocritical pussies.

The police have got to be the most easily triggerable snowflakes in America

I'm not going to be able to participate in a boycott of Amazon. That free two day shipping has allowed me to physically enter a WalMart maybe ten times in five years. I can't give that up.
But good luck and frick Bezos.

Meh. This isn't how you do things. Just stop using Amazon.

Then again, if they're going to remove Confederate flags because they're offensive, then removing BLM items would be ideologically consistent.

I completely disagree with their decision to stop selling those as well.

frick those cops. That's no better than college students putting out a list of demands, to include safe spaces, because they get their feelings hurt.

Shameful. They will lost a lot of respect over this. What happened when cops were men, not overweight crybabies like this.

It's exactly the same. Well except for all those BLM rallies where they were calling for the death of cops. But you nailed it right on the head.

Didn't they remove a Kim kardashian costume because it was offensive? They should be able to sell whatever they want. The freedom comes in the fact that you don't have to buy the products you don't like.

When I just did after reading this, one popped right up. Do they not have the variety they once offered?

Hopefully they tell them to pound sand

Now let's watch as dozens of supposed "conservatives" post in support of this.

I personally don't care what they sell, but the FOP is making a stance based on previous decisions by Amazon. I say let them sell what they want. It's easy to see who you're dealing with just by the clothes they wear.

King Teal, just an observation, you sure do buy into stereotypes. Because they ask for t-shirts to be removed, they are fat? So you do that toward cops because you feel they do that to you and it makes you angry? Who did it first?
