SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Some officials in the Indiana city of South Bend have called on a police officer to stop selling T-shirts that make light of the "I can't breathe" refrain used in recent protests of the police killing of a New York City man.

Maybe he can sell these instead...............

Thats what people get when they vote for lesser evils. The little dears become greater evils. Dem, GOP or otherwise.
These will sell as most American’s are damn tired of Obama and Holder’s “Blame the Police.”
As I write Obama just blamed the police before he flies off for 17 days in Hawaii ON OUR DIME.
This bastard does not know the meaning of WORK.
Yes, it seems that way. Diversity is whatever libs defined it to be at any particular moment in time. Conflict with their narrative is ‘hate speech’.
Hey Officer!
Let me buy your inventory from you.
I’ll sell them at a loss from where the fascists have no authority.
Good idea. Maybe start a fund for slain police officers by Blacks or the like.
I’d rather they used correct English. BREATHE “EASILY”
He probably should thank the city leaders for helping him take his business from local to national.
South Bend, Indiana, is now the North Korea of the Midwest.
yeah rite
and Elvis shuda sang ‘Love Me Tenderly’
Breathe easy, don't break the law
It's a lecture.
Do they have any that say “Check your entitlement.” ?
From the sounds of it, the feckless local pols have boosted the cop’s bottom line.
