Headkicking Cop Sells Gang Related Clothing
Of course by now you've seen the video:
Now buy the duds:
"LOS ANGELES -- The officer caught on tape kicking a suspect in the head reportedly owns a clothing company that glorifies gang life, according to the Whittier Daily News.
The newspaper identified the officer in question as George Fierro. According to records at El Monte City Hall, he owns Torcido Clothing, the Whittier Daily News reported.
The clothing line "features some of the hardest authentic jail house threads for the streets. Straight from East L.A., Califas..." according to its website.
And in case you're not familiar with the market for jail house threads for the streets, "Torcido" is Spanish street slang for "Busted."
The site even has a full glossary to help translate words found on its clothing. Some highlights include:
"GREEN LIGHTERS: When the EME puts a gangsters name on the 'hit list' to be assaulted or killed."
"DROP OUT CREW: When a gang member informs on his gang crimminal [sic] activity to quit the gang."
"186.22186.22: CA Penal Code; Gang Allegation Section Sentence enhancement when crime committed for the benefit of the gang (also requires to register as a Gang Offender)"
You can see the irony starting to form: the cop who kicked an unarmed gang member in the head is reportedly selling gang-life clothing."
