Stop snitching

[Fela]

There has been a big fuss over a T-shirt in Boston .
This shirt has the words "Stop Stitching " printed on it .
The Mayor of Boston {who has been elected un-contested several times
and is extremely well respected in communities of colour} asked store owners to stop selling the shirts as he fears it sends a message not to work with police to solve crimes ...a few shop owners complied .

My question is ; Do you think the Mayor should have stepped in ?
Do you think the store owners did the right thing ?
Is this a breach of the Freedom of speech Amendment ?

Here's more of the story

I don't think there is a problem with the shirt, I've seen shirts that say terrible, horrible things and don't feel that it was serious enough to make it a issue. It is a breach of freedom of speech and I think the decision whether to sell the shirts or not is up to the store owners but if I were one, I wouldn't have stopped selling mine. Don't you know that makes them more in demand, as a store owner I'm in the business of making paper, not turning it away.
