- I may be wrong but I'll bet this silhouette "of a police officer"
- is really the silhouette of a black man with a beret, that is Public
- Enemy's symbol. I'll bet this official is misconstruing the black man
- as a police officer because of the silhouette and the beret.
- If somebody told him the truth maybe he would relent.
