| The band Furious Styles thinks it's a good day whenever a cop is killed, hence the T-shirts |
Police believe the senseless murder was the work of criminal justice student Christopher Monfort, who was shot when he pointed a gun at detectives who were trying to interview him at his apartment building.
Obviously, it was a stupid and senseless murder. As Seattle Weekly notes, "The city saw the murder of a cop as a good time to remember that peace officers have a very dangerous job and we should be thankful for the work they do." But hardcore metal band Furious Styles saw it as a way to get publicity selling T-shirts that celebrate the officer's slaying...

| They may look like five poseurs named Skippy, but Furious Styles insists they're like totally principled and defiant |
The band -- which looks like five guys named Scooter desperate to appear tough -- apparently doesn't like cops, so it doesn't want to appear hypocritical mourning the loss of innocent life when it really should be celebrated. (Don't try to make sense of this, dear reader. These are just poseurs talking out of their ass.)
As lead singer Michael Torres wrote on one message board:
Over the last week, I saw a lot of support for this dead officer, and a lot people who alledgedly hate the police putting their opinions aside in the wake of this supposed "tragedy". I've heard it all...he had a family...he has kids...etc...so spare me that bullshit. Everyone has families, many adults have children. That doesn't excuse the actions of police in general and I refuse to change my opinion on the subject. When police die, I feel that the streets are just a little bit safer. So with that being said, I'm in no way embarrassed that we made this shirt. A lot of people took a stance on the situation....now I'm taking mine.Oooo, you're so defiant and principled, Skippy!
Spoken like a guy who will spend the next 40 years serving $8 coffees and reminding you how good his band used to be -- if only the asshole music execs were smart enough to see it.

Obviously a band of talentless hacks who, because they can't get attention from the dozen people camping at the bar while they are attempting to play, decided to create an offensive shirt in hopes that this way, finally, some jackass would give them the attention they so crave.
Enjoy your 5 seconds of fame, losers.
Posted 11/19/2009 at 05:18:38 PMidiots! They could've at least been original; stealing Public Enemy/Chuck D lyrics for their t-shirts just goes to show you they can't form their own opinions. They are just pathetic sheep following the herd...
Posted 11/19/2009 at 06:23:24 PMThis so-called band (of low-class losers) is known in Seattle music circles as generally crappy and so desperate for attention they'll stoop to the lowest depths to get it. They almost disbanded but the lead singer decided to keep "getting his message out to the world" - gee, thanks for continuing to spew your self-hatred and self-loathing diatribe, idiots.
Posted 11/19/2009 at 06:36:30 PMYeah from what i can see these guys "look" like a group of douches! No person, man or woman especially in the business of "trying" to help people(cops,firefighters,nurse,doctors) should deserve murder. On the other hand i can understand his dislike for the police i sometimes wish the officer would lose their job, but never die!?! thats just wrong, and then to rub it in by making t-shirts??? someone should do a drive by on these fools, just to scare them. and i bet you they'll be crying up a storm and calling the cop to come and save their butts!
Posted 11/19/2009 at 07:08:10 PMthis site and others should at least make sure they dont get sued by all four of those ex-bandmembers that are in this photo thats posted. You may hate the shirt but jesus, at least try to a little checking in on somthing before you plaster a picture of people that had nothing to do with it on the internet.
Posted 11/19/2009 at 10:59:13 PMAlthough I dont think they're a good hardcore band or agree with their childish view of police, I think this article was written in very poor and childish taste itself to make fun of the way these kids look and making generalizations as to how unsuccessful the singers life will be, as if it has anything to do with subject this story is suppost to be about. this is the kind of stereotypes that drive kids to turn their back on social acceptance. news is facts not opinion. grow up
Posted 11/19/2009 at 11:49:30 PMAlex....."childish view of police"????? They support assasination & murder.....ANY mindless naieve support of these "kids'...which they are not...do your homework as they are all adults BTW...just gives them undue credit. You need to seriously look in the mirror.....
Posted 11/20/2009 at 12:39:02 AMThese idiots are future Walmart greeters. There is no future for douchebags like these wankers. They talk shit, but they don't realize it's been done 1000 times better by 1000 other bands. Their message should be 'damn, I should have stayed in school'. Fucktards.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 12:39:38 AMYEAH RIGHT......
RIGHT EFFIN' ON!!!!
Posted 11/20/2009 at 12:45:06 AMThe media needs to get their shit straight before "reporting news". I know all of these guys personally and this shirt was thought of and made by one member. and this one member doesn't even live in WA anymore. AND this band doesn't even exist anymore. He did it for himself and to shock and awe and get attention. and look, it worked.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 12:49:39 AMLMB...
GOOD FOR YOU...you now them all personally....I'd like to know why not ONE of them has come forward to defend themselves if this is a ststement made by only one member. And the alleged "facts" you state re the band's demise and location of ANY member means nothing....the T-shirt is out there...and what do you not GET about the vileness of this situation? Sleep well....jerk
Posted 11/20/2009 at 01:06:35 AMNothing but victims crying about the media.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 01:10:49 AMSorry....got rather trigger quick on previous post......editing "now' to "KNOW"and "ststement" to "STATEMENT"...:)
Posted 11/20/2009 at 01:15:19 AMFreedom of speech as many officers have been guilty of exercising their own interpretation of law. Get used to it America because more men and women will die. Unfornately for this man he's the victim of hate generated by other's actions in his profession that he wouldn't likely support. It's like Muslims everyone hates them all because of what a group of them did on 9/11.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 01:18:21 AMDo your research TAZ. They have come forward.

Posted 11/20/2009 at 04:32:00 AMBoo-frickin'-hoo. Mainstream media tends to keep the majority of murders, beatings and other criminal acts committed by police under wraps, including death & torture by taser. When they're under "investigation" it's a paid vacaction only to return to continue brutalizing innocent citizens. When one cop dies ... Tears by Crocodile.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 05:35:43 AMHey Taz, pull your ead out of your ass you f'ing moron. If you cant get facts straight, shut the F*ck up.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 02:44:54 PMExactly what does trigger quick mean? F'ing degenerate.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 02:48:15 PMThis band sucks. This shirt sucks. This article is pretty horrible also.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 06:15:07 PMTaz, you a bitch
Posted 11/20/2009 at 07:02:16 PMI would sure like to know the name of the business that printed it so we can avoid that business and possibly picket until they are out of business.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 10:34:23 PMRojo, youre clearly a selfish commie to step on the first amendment just to satisfy personal beliefs.
Posted 11/21/2009 at 04:24:23 AMThose skinny little pussies? I guess when your a third rate, no name band, you have to do such things to get people to even know who you are. Pretty pathetic, sad and childish, but look at em'. These are the first loser turds who would call the cops when something happens to them. I'm just bettin' these boys live at home with mommy and daddy still. What ghetto trash!!!
Posted 11/22/2009 at 12:05:52 AMThe parents of Michael Torres must be very proud of him, and the good job they did of raising him. And let me clarify a previous post: He won't be selling $8 coffees for a living in the future, he'll be takin' it up the arse in the Greybar Hotel.
Posted 11/24/2009 at 11:27:19 AMya well if most of you would go to seattle and open your sensless fucking eyes and realize that the stupid ass pigs there are crooked as fuck. me nor the rest off the 20666 brotherhood under nocircumstances give a flying fuck about that stupid pig nor his bitch ass family..and dear writer..i garantee you wouldnt show your face in seattle after writing this because you would be right behind that officer.
