It was actually a lot more interesting than I thought it would be!
Merchants are rude and condescending. They ignore the pleas of community members who found their attire divisive and at odds with the police commissioner's and chief's state goals of improving relations with people of color and other vulnerable groups. The museum itself is whitewash and erases PPBs very troubled past.
Knowingly and proudly promotes systemic racism on taxpayer-funded City property, selling hats and tshirts that co-opt the "Black Lives Matter" slogan in a display of willful white supremacy despite public outcry since mid-July. See 2 photos attached.
Unbelievable. Worth the time !

Please join me in complaining on the City and State level.
Did not like racists shirts at the museum and suggest this will be a pr nightmare. They must be remove from city property.
The City should revoke their lease.
