Because You're Not a Cop : Unisex Softstyle T-shirt

Sweet on the surface, sharp on the message.

Cute at first glance. Confrontational on purpose. This shirt features a kitschy, vintage-style bear dressed in a police uniform with the bold words: “Loving You is Easy Because You Are Not a Cop.” It’s adorable, but the message hits hard—inviting critical reflection on the growing distrust in American policing.

Designed to provoke conversation through irony, this shirt highlights a jarring truth: while pop culture paints cops as lovable protectors, real-life abuses have shattered public trust. From the police killing of Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán during a protest against Atlanta’s “Cop City” in 2023, to the violent NYPD response to pro-Palestinian campus protests at Columbia University in 2024, to the ongoing legacy of Tyre Nichols’ brutal death in Memphis, law enforcement continues to overstep its bounds, silencing dissent and criminalizing marginalized voices.

This shirt doesn’t scream—it smirks. It’s a perfect fit for those who believe in civil rights, abolitionist thought, and challenging state violence with creativity and courage. Gift it to your boldest friend or wear it yourself as a fashion-forward form of resistance. The cute bear and ironic tone make the message accessible—but unmistakably radical.
