Mechanicsburg Police Dept. have utilized the support of the Mechanicsburg First Responders Car Show to fund a new patch design displaying an Indigenous chief as the design. This is not only disrespectful to the Native tribes who have lost their lives at the hand of colonization but it is a strong display of their lack of empathy for a community of people who have suffered immeasurable acts of violence and brutality at the hand of colonization in the United States. 

I am asking for support from all people to help preserve the dignity and honor of Indigenous peoples by requesting that this logo by the Mechanicsburg Police Dept, not display a character representing Indigenous people.  Indigenous peoples are not costumes. 

This is a poor display by the Mechanicsburg Police Dept.
