Yeeeeah, that's not why they cancelled the ad. I wouldn't use that source anymore.

No disrespect but I tend to believe police officers over mainstream media any day.

They didnt apologize to black lives matter. That's just propaganda from this website. And it wasnt canceled for being pro cop. It wasnt even a pro cop commercial.

SSG(P) (Join to see) - like all the police officers who file false reports about shootings to have their fellow cops back, only to be proven false by the video that the mainstream media files freedom of information requests to get because the police refuse to release them on their own?

SSG(P) (Join to see) Likewise, no disrespect, but they aren't the ones upset about the ad. Why would they be believed over the people who actually found it offensive? The ad wasn't explicitly pro-cop, and the company said as much.
Activists have said the ad, which is set to a tune by Bob Marley’s grandson Skip Marley, bares no relation to their lived reality of protesting against police brutality and Black Lives Matter organizers have condemned the commerical.
The scene where Jenner approaches a line of officers is a clear reference to the iconic image of a female protester named Ieshia Evans standing strong while being confronted by heavily armoured riot officers during a Black Lives Matter protest in Baton Rouge after Alton Sterling was fatally shot by police last year.

Kendall Jenner's gushing remarks about offensive Pepsi ad
The only person who has not responded to Kendall Jenner’s Pepsi advert is the reality TV star turned model herself. The ad, which Pepsi has now been forced to “pull”, has drawn criticism and derision from all corners of the internet.

Great job (not) of avoiding offending anyone. Other than the Police and those who support them, you succeeded. Way to go Pepsi!!!
