A photo of a Christmas tree shared by an Alabama Sherriff's office has sparked outrage online for its offensive decorations. The tree appeared to be adorned with what officials called "thugshots" — images of people who have been arrested in the area.

"We have decorated our Tree with THUGSHOTS to show how many Thugs we have taken off the streets of Mobile this year! We could not have done it without our faithful followers!" the post on the Mobile County Sheriff's Office's Facebook page said, according to CBS News affiliate WKRG.
The post also included a "special offer" to all Mobile County "thugs." It appeared to be taunting supposed criminals in the area, offering to provide them with a "concierge corrections officer" to take them to jail and give them a "custom fitting" for a "holiday jumpsuit."
According to The Associated Press, more than 7,900 people commented on the "Thug Thursday" post, which has since been removed. Many commenters apparently called the decorations demeaning and cruel.
The Mobile branch of the NAACP called the post "unacceptable" and said it has reached out to the Sheriff's Office on two occasions, with no response. President Robert Clopton said that "irate" residents have contacted him about the post.
