NIT – You may have see this man. He is not hiding; in fact he seems proud of a very blunt message he is sending to law enforcement:
Fuck Cops
You may say to yourself, “How can NIT publish this? That is offensive profanity!”
Stop right there. NIT is known for calling it like it is. This is not some sold-out dying newspaper like the Globe Gazette. NIT hits hard and delivers blunt reality. Deal with it.
Back to the subject at hand. The words on the jacket are offensive to some, but this person feels so strongly about his message that he actually made a sign out of his jacket to wear in public, telling anyone and everyone who looks his way what he thinks. You can see the message, your kids can see the message. It is in the public eye and no one seems to be doing anything about it.
An NIT reader sent this photo in proving it. Just days ago, another reader posted in the Whiner’s Den that the man was seen in the same jacket walking west on 1st Street NW near Monroe Avenue. He was wearing dark sunglasses and a red bandana over the bottom half of his face.
When asked for comment, the man wearing the jacket declined.
What would possess a person to create this jacket and wear it into a grocery store or walk down the street wearing it? Does the message on the jacket go too far? In your opinion, does this man deserve punishment, attention or just need help? Would you ask him to remove the jacket if you saw him in public?
