\n Amazon has pulled a controversial children\u2019s T-shirt from its US store that depicted disgraced Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the neck of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

The decision comes amid nationwide protests over the 46-year-old\u2019s death in police custody last month, which led to the arrests of four officers.<\/p>\n

Amazon did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment, but confirmed that \u201cthe product in question is no longer available\u201d in a statement to the BBC.<\/p>\n

However, screenshots show that the now-scrapp<\/a>ed shirt juxtaposed Floyd\u2019s last moments with former NFL star Colin Kaepernick, 32, kneeling to protest police brutality during the national anthem.<\/p>\n

The third-party seller billed the $14.99 \u201cvivid\u201d crewneck, captioned \u201cagainst violent law enforcement,\u201d as \u201cstate of the art\u201d and \u201cgreat for casual\u201d occasions.<\/p>\n

The rabble-rousing tee was flagged to the BBC by an Amazon employee, who found the imagery distasteful. Currently, the digital bazaar prohibits the sale of items that portray crime scene photos, per the site\u2019s seller guidelines.<\/p>\n

Vendors who ignore the rules \u201cwill be subject to action including potential removal of their account,\u201d according to a statement by Amazon, which is currently investigating the account behind the controversial children\u2019s top.<\/p>\n

While the listing for the original shirt has been taken down, the e-hawker still boasts Amazon listings for kids shirts, hats and other apparel bearing the aforementioned photo and anti-cop violence slogan, reports Insider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One such kids\u2019 shirt received a one-star rating and a flurry of outrage from Amazon customers who deemed the provocative garment \u201cdisgusting and wrong\u201d in the reviews section.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is very disrespectful!\u201d wrote one aghast commenter.<\/p>\n

Another fumed: \u201cI can\u2019t believe your company would allow this picture to be printed. Your company needs to remove this ASAP.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
