SHOTS FIRED! Acorn

To All Concerned:

We hope this message finds you well and in good spirits. It has come to our attention that our recently advertised "SHOTS FIRED! Acorn" items have stirred a mixture of emotions and responses within the community. As creators and curators of the Narco Warrior humorous collective series, we deeply understand the delicate balance between humor and sensitivity, especially concerning the dedicated individuals in law enforcement and the complexities of their profession.

The incident inspiring the "SHOTS FIRED! Acorn" line—an unforeseen misunderstanding involving an acorn, a patrol car, and a highly alert officer—has been a source of much conversation. We recognize the seriousness of such situations and the potential implications for the individuals directly involved and the broader law enforcement agency. Our hearts go out to all those who found themselves unexpectedly at the center of this event, especially considering the stress and challenges already inherent in such crucial public service roles.

However, in keeping with the spirit of the Narco Warrior series, which seeks to find humor in the everyday and often overlooked aspects of law enforcement work, we have decided to proceed with the production of the "SHOTS FIRED! Acorn" items. Our intention is not to diminish or disregard the genuine concerns and feelings of those involved or affected. Instead, we aim to offer a light-hearted reflection on the unpredictable and sometimes absurd realities that law enforcement officers may encounter, serving as a reminder of the human side of this demanding profession.

We believe in the power of humor as a tool for coping, healing, and bridging gaps within our communities. It is our hope that the "SHOTS FIRED! Acorn" items will be received in the spirit they are intended: as a tribute to the resilience, dedication, and often underappreciated sense of humor required to navigate the challenges of law enforcement. We will also be donating portions of the proceeds to a reputable charity dealing with post traumatic stress disorder in first responders to support the overlooked disease which burdens so many in this profession.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this delicate balance. Our team is committed to engaging with our community responsibly and thoughtfully, and we welcome your feedback and dialogue on this and any other concerns you may have.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support of the Narco Warrior series. Together, we can celebrate the lighter side of law enforcement while honoring the profound commitment and sacrifices of those who serve.

With sincere regards,
Beyond The Line
