Polish police are lodging furious complaints over an advertisement that shows a teen about to shoot a policeman in the head.

The ad for a skateboard fashion company Guru Gomez shows the teenager pointing a gun at the kneeling police officer’s head and saying “On your knees, dog,” the Austrian Times reports.

It was unclear where the ad ran, but it was called “particularly repulsive” by police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski, especially following the real-life execution of a policeman in Warsaw.

Fashion boss Lukasz Kosy defended the advertisement saying it was not intended to incite bad things, but was “just a bit of fun.”
