The nation’s largest police union is pressuring Amazon.com to stop selling T-shirts and hoodies emblazoned with the phrases “Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter” and “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.” A letter from the police union to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos accuses the online retailer of selling offensive merchandise from “third party sellers [who] are making money by exploiting racial divisions in our country.” The campaign by the Fraternal Order of Police follows a successful effort to get Walmart.com to stop selling clothes with the phrase “Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter” in its online store.
