Pepper-Spraying Cop Lands on a Christmas Sweater

Social injustice has never been quite so festive.

Lt. John Pike, the UC Davis cop whose ridiculously excessive use of pepper spray on seated, peaceful protesters made him an internet meme superstar, has now been immortalized on a Christmas sweater. Handmade by the wearer, Abbie Heppe, the sweater features Pike pepper-spraying an adorable baby Jesus.
