After White turned himself in and confessed, he sat in his cell while his former colleagues on the police force told Harvey Milk jokes; police openly wore "Free Dan White" T-shirts in the days after the murder.
Despois de que White se entregase e confesase, estivo sentado na súa cela, mentres os seus antigos colegas contaban chistes sobre Harvey Milk; algúns policías levaron en público camisetas con «Liberen a Dan White» o día despois dos asasinatos.
