Does Cleveland Police Logo Contain Image Of Pig?

I smell bacon!
CLEVELAND - Some people are saying that there's a hidden image in the Cleveland police logo on the side of their cars.

A recent newspaper article did some editing, taking away bordering and edging on an image of the logo -- and the result was the image of a pig.

TV station WEWS in Cleveland took the pig image to the streets to find out what Clevelanders thought about the image.

"Yeah, now that you point it out, it does look like a pig. Wow, that's funny, sort of," said Lakewood resident Jennifer Carrico.

Clevelander resident Nick Zalonis said, "I never noticed it before ... I think people are being paranoid, really. If you read too much into it, I guess it would look that way."

The Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association said the logo is a silhouette of the police department badge, which dates back more than 100 years. It's a part of their history, and this is not the first time in history that the pig image has come up.
My Comments:
LOL! They won't change the logo even though "pig" is an offensive epithet often hurled at law enforcement officers. But what will the Cleveland cops do when some Muslim notes that pigs are offensive to Islam, and that the Cleveland Police Department is therefore being insensitive to Muslim sensibilities by sporting a logo with an image likely to cause revulsion to the "average" jihadist?

Now if it looked like a donut, then they could complain.

My family just moved to Norwalk about 3 months ago. It's a great place! And I'm glad to hear that the city's leadership is on the ball. Thanks for your comments.
