Union County Jail responds to photographed inmates in Nike shirts

Union County Sheriff's Office has responded to the allegations of purposely putting inmates in Nike apparel to mock Nike's deal with Colin Kaepernick.
Union County Sheriff Ricky Roberts said in a statement they used the Nike shirts to cover inmates who were booked without "proper attire." He says some inmates come into jail wearing clothing not suitable for public viewing.
Roberts says the intent was not to "demean or disparage" anyone accused of a crime, and he requires all employees to treat inmates with dignity and respect. The sheriff also apologized to anyone offended by the Nike shirts.
"We are not, and will not, be influenced by current political and social debates in the media," Roberts says. He adds the jail has been using the shirts for months, but plans have been made to discontinue their use.

They said “plans have been made”. Hopefully, the plans fall through.

The only people that would be offended by being in a Nike shirt are on the Political Talk. This story never made sense.

Nike is still winning. The County jail still had to go out and purchase the shirts for the photos. Nike could give two shites why the shirts were purchased, they still got paid and was given free publicity.

seems like the plan backfired, considering there are more whites than blacks in this mugshots...

Talcum X then doubled down essentially calling the Sheriff a liar even though the black Mayor says she's known the Sheriff basically her whole life and stands by him/believes him.

What a pussy too. Try to make some grand statement and make a bunch of rednecks laugh then cower like a bitch when there’s outrage. Typical.

He was raised by a white family and I’m pretty sure he has a white biological parent too right?
If I had no idea who he was and he just walked in to a coffee shop or something, I would think he’s an Arab. I don’t get how he gets to lead BLM as a sand person.
