While Eric Garner supporters have been wearing "I Can't Breathe" t-shirts all over the world, a police uniform company has drawn mixed reviews for their "Breathe Easy, Don't Break the Law" shirts. Some news outlets have suggested that the shirts support people who thought the Garner decision was fair.
Mishawaka Police Corporal Jason Barthel, owner of the uniform company, spoke out to explain the message behind the shirts.
"For those upset, please understand when we use the slogan 'Breathe Easy' we are referring to knowing the police are there for you! We are one people, one nation regardless of race, religion, creed or gender. We are all in this together. The police are here to protect and serve. 99.9% of us have the greater good in our hearts each time we strap on our uniforms and duty belts. We are all one people and this is by no means is a slam on Eric Garner or his family, God rest his soul. Lets all band together as AMERICANS regardless of our feelings and know we can and will be better!"
