LONDON - A British man who wore a T-shirt that glorified killing police hours after the deaths of two officers has been sentenced to four months in jail.
Barry Thew, 39, was arrested for wearing a shirt bearing handwritten messages saying "One less pig perfect justice" and "killacopforfun.com" in Radcliffe, near Manchester, on Sept. 18.
His arrest came hours after two police officers in the northwest England city were killed in a gun and grenade attack that shocked Britain.
Thew was sentenced to four months in jail Thursday after earlier pleading guilty to a public order offence. He received another four months for breaching the terms of an earlier suspended sentence.
Civil liberties campaigners slammed the sentence as absurd and warned it would have a chilling effect on free speech.
