Surveillance of Muslims incorrect
Ray Kelly is a former NYPD Commissioner who organized surveillance of some NJ Muslims. A court ruled that his actions were justified. I assume that was the problem below but the words could also be a reference to a NYPD policy of extensive frisking of people encountered in high-crime (black) areas
In preparation for Spring Weekend, student entrepreneurs are marketing a colorful array of festive tank tops. Most make reference to the headlining artists slated to perform in April. There is one, however, that has seemingly caught everyone’s attention. Its plain white background sports a bright purple image of former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly with the words “Gettin’ Frisky” written underneath.
While wearing such a top certainly isn’t legally contentious — we fortunately have yet to completely demolish free speech — many were quick to announce their outrage, using words such as “racist,” “insensitive” and “offensive.” Others defended the design, noting that, given the context, it was only a joke and should not deserve such condemnation.

I suggest reading the source material. The writer has some interesting observations.
never accuse a liberal of have a sense of humor, or a brian for that matter!
3:14 - So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
So what is the basic problem? Somebody is offended over the colour of the lettering? FFS tell them to piss off and get a life.
What's a brian?
5:44 - serpents/snakes are a highly successful group of reptiles by "crawling on their bellies", but they don't eat much dust, rather are vitally important in the balance of Nature, especially keeping down the population of rodents, which spread plague. But of course the biblical legend was only allegorical.
