The photo published in the August edition of the San Francisco Police Officers Association Journalshows a picture of a black lab with a sign reading "Black Labs Matter" and a white lab with a sign reading "All Labs Matter." 
The photo didn't go over well. “It’s so inflammatory, and they still don’t get it. They still choose to inflame situations, and it’s just really insulting.” Sgt. Yulanda Williams, president of an organization representing nonwhite San Francisco officers, tells the San Francisco Chronicle.
"It's not a joke we're playing with," Shawn Richard of the San Francisco NAACP tells NBC Bay Area. "We're dealing with a lot of racial issues right now." The San Francisco Police Department is currently being reviewed by both the US Justice Department and a panel of judges following a number of incidents, including racists texts sent between officers.
