## Transcript

Walmart will no longer sell Bulletproof Black Lives Matter T shirts on its website. This after receiving a complaint from the Fraternal Order of Police. The T shirts were sold through Walmart's website by Old Glory merchandise. T shirts that just say black lives matter, blue lives matter, and all lives matter will continue to be sold. In a letter to Walmart's CEO FOP president Chuck Canterbury said that the quote offensive merchandise would quote damage the company's good name. Today the retail giant responded and said it would be removing the items after hearing concerns from customers.
