This is absolutely distasteful considering that the alleged rape, is just that, alleged. Furthermore, having a sheriff's department violate a court order over that, just makes it worse in my eyes.

They should be protecting the streets, rather then buy these shirts and put them in the archives.

If the T-shirts (or the mindset reflected by them) in any way impact the outcome of this trial, they've failed to do that.</div>
