http://www.theroot.com/d-c-cop-under-investigation-for-wearing-a-shirt-with-a-1797354445/amp
An officer with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., has been accused of wearing a shirt with a racist symbol on it while he was on duty, and has now been placed on “non-contact status” pending the department’s investigation into the incident. Law4BlackLives, a group of lawyers who support the Black Lives Matter movement, told NBC Washington that they have filed complaints with the police department after seeing the officer, identified as Vincent Altiere, wear the shirt in D.C. Superior Court and in the community. In a photo taken by the group, the t-shirt features a grim reaper wearing an MPD badge and holding a rifle. The DC flag is in the backdrop, and the words “Powershift” and “Seventh District” surround the grim reaper. In place of the “O” in the word “powershift” is a Celtic cross, a symbol used by white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. In smaller letters below the reaper, the phrase “Let me see that waistband jo” appears. According to Law4BlackLives, that is short for “jump outs,” a more aggressive form of stop and frisk that targets men of color in searches for weapons. “This shirt is offensive and indicates systemic bias in the policing of people of color,” Law4BlackLives said in a statement. “White supremacy and insinuated threats of death should never be associated with or tolerated in police departments who are sworn to protect and serve.” MPD’s Seventh District covers much of Southeast D.C. east of the Anacostia River, including the communities of Anacostia and Barry Farm. In a tweet on Friday afternoon, Police Chief Peter Newsham said, “This is disgraceful and does not represent the hard working and committed officers of the Seventh District.” Just another isolated incident --- No one gets in the way of my frisbee games!

Well at least I'm glad that it was brought to light. Now I know that a shirt like that is considered white supremacist. I would have bought it as a gym shirt because it's got a grim reaper on it and thought nothing beyond that, lol.
