Union County Sheriff's Office put inmates in Nike shirts for mug shots

According to a post from Shaun King, a civil rights activist, the Union County Sheriff's Office is putting Nike shirts on its inmates for mug shots in protest of the company's deal with Colin Kaepernick.



UNION COUNTY, Ark. (KTHV) - "It's all a big misunderstanding," said the Union County sheriff.

According to a post from Shaun King, a civil rights activist, the Union County Sheriff’s Office were allegedly putting Nike shirts on its inmates for mug shots in protest of the company's deal with Colin Kaepernick.


*Snip*

The full statement reads, “It has come to my attention that shirts worn by individuals booked into our facility have been deemed offensive by certain individuals. It is not our intent, nor has it ever been our intent, to demean or disparage those who are innocent until proven guilty. I require that my staff treat everyone with the utmost dignity and respect. This being said, there are many times individuals enter our facility that lack proper attire during the booking process. In an attempt to provide individuals with a sense of dignity, along with providing a photograph which is appropriate for public viewing, we provide these individuals with clothing to wear.

It has been brought to my attention that there are those who feel that one of our shirts of choice may be viewed as inappropriate. Please understand, I require that this office treats everyone equally and equitably within the law. We are not, and will not, be influenced by current political and social debates in the media. Also, these shirts were not purchased by the Sheriff’s Office to be used for this purpose but were simply on hand and available. We are charged with one simply duty; uphold the law and keep the peace. This shirt is not only in use now but has also been for several months prior. We have taken steps to rectify this issue and ensure that this will never happen again. I understand the concern of those who may have found this offensive, and for that I apologize.

Nike, the official sponsor of criminals.

Who paid for the Nike shirts? Sounds like another waste of taxpayer money just so the sheriff can make a political statement.

Can you not read? He said they were on hand already, not purchased by the police unit.

How could he have already had them on hand? When you go to jail, they take all your stuff, and when you are released, they give it all back (or are supposed to).

Are you saying that a whole bunch of criminals simply left a bunch of Nike shirts behind when they left? Doesn't sound plausible to me.

Maybe they confiscated from a hijack of a Nike truck?

It’s quite simple. They have an old T-shirt laying around, when the dregs are brought in and have no shirt or one that is drenched in vomit, you make them wear the T-shirt.

Well I guess its cheaper than putting them in Brooks Brothers suits to represent all of the white collar criminals -- but of course, white collar crime isn't really crime

Or maybe they were donated and are now being put to use.

Interestingly enough, if you look at the mug shots in the OP, you will see that damn near all of them have their primary shirt on underneath the Nike shirt. If the person's shirt is as you say it was, why would they put a clean shirt over a nasty one, and then pass it on to other convicts? Do they wash them first, or what? And, if it really was Nike shirts being left by other criminals, then why do all the criminals in that town have the same style of Nike shirts?

Really? When was the last time you heard of someone donating clothing to a jail? The only places I know of where clothing is donated is Salvation Army, or Goodwill, or some other thrift shop, not jail.

This guy wishes he was white -- maybe they can trade, however, that would make the black absolutely useless to conservatives afterwards.

LOL. Maybe they are torn up and they don’t want to see those nasty women’s titties.

For some reason they cover shirts around here in mug shots..

I don't use the term plantation, in fact I find the term highly offensive and disrespectful to those who paid the price for me with their blood...

Again, when you idiots start saying Jews are in Democrat gas chambers because they vote Democrat, then talk to me -- but you won't ever do that, because you have ZERO respect for black people as a whole -- so save me the "but I have a black friend" BS

I've never said that but the fact remains the left uses blacks...anyone paying attention knows it.

Throw them some free shit, promise them more if they vote dem.

The right would prefer they become self sufficient and for some reason that's racist...or some stupid shit
