PORT CLINTON, Ohio -- The police chief in Port Clinton is making no public apologies for wearing a piece of clothing that has offended many people ...

The photos were of Port Clinton Police Chief Robert Hickman wearing a Confederate flag vest. While some are calling it racist, others say they do not see anything wrong with it.

"I think he was just wearing a shirt," said Port Clinton resident Bryan Meek. "Out having a good time one day, and that is basically it."

The pictures of Chief Hickman wearing the Confederate flag vest were taken when he and his wife, Roseann, were on vacation last month in Sturgis, South Dakota ...

1. 'on vacation last month in Sturgis, South Dakota'...

Ie, he and the wife are bikers. No offense to Sturgis, but that's the only reason anyone would vacation there, to go attend the giant biker rally with lots of alcohol, drugs, and women taking their clothes off to the accompaniment of revving motorcycle engines.
