Hours after learning Walmart would pull a Black Lives Matter shirt from stores, the Fraternal Order of Police posted another letter urging online retailer Amazon.com to pull the same shirt.

The shirt, which features the words “Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter"still appears for sale on Amazon.com Thursday afternoon and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has not responded to the FOP’s request, reported USA Today.

FOP President Chuck Canterbury wrote to the retailer, posting the letter on the organization’s Facebook page, stating:

“I wanted to let you know that my members are are very upset that you and Amazon are complicit in the sale of this offensive merchandise.”

He said he was writing to “urge you to prohibit the use of the Amazon name and website for the retail sale of these products.”

A third party sells the merchandise on Amazon.

Earlier, while Walmart agreed to remove the “Bulletproof” shirts, they said they will continue to sell other “Black Lives Matter” merchandise. Both Walmart and Amazon also sell “Blue Lives Matter” products.
