Wow. Also, the obsession of morons with Punisher is just baffling. It’s not a very complicated story at all, and yet all these idiots just completely misunderstand it and proudly wear this mark because Frank Castle is cool and kills people…
Screw the star of david, having a Punisher skull symbol anywere on or close to your damn uniform should be a fireable offense.
It is an odd adoption but the Punisher skull is a known alt-right symbol particularly amongst the “Three Percenters”, Proud boys and a certain age range of Neo Nazis.
The alt right continuously does this thing where they adopt symbols to recognize each other in a pack but the shit they choose is purposefully ridiculous and childish so you sound like an absolute moron trying to explain to an authority that pepe the frog is actually potentially construable as sexual harassment in certain situations because it’s essentially a short hand for rape… It’s inane but it is very effective.
Completely off topic but I gotta rant it out…
There’s also this thing that the Canadian Conservatives are great at which is controlling the media coverage by lies of omission. My hometown had this whole “scandal” where someone’s mic was shut off during a town council for “bringing legitimate concerns about trans people.” and papers ran it like that… But what actually happened is the mic shutdown happened because the person in question kept using the mic to be vile about trans people on every open mic opportunity. Open mic portion regarding adding speed bumps : " nope I am gunna talk over the allotable time about pronoun policies in schools." Oh you want to talk about changes to funding structures of municipal trash collections? " Nope mic time to use the t-slur and rant more about woke teachers." One could pretend that they just don’t understand the basic Roberts rules of order but their aim is always to spin anything they can as oppression.
They are doing the same here. The articles are not providing proper context that the patch is not just a Star of David patch… It’s a black and white version of the Israeli flag with the bars thay mark it as thus. It’s not depicting a specific religious stance, it’s depicting a political regime. But it creates a fine opportunity for religious bigots to banging the drum about headscarves and turbans and how we should strip government officials of their comfort for daring to have visible markers of their religious beliefs as though these are somehow the same.
Like I get it. Not understanding what counts as hate speech or legitimate targets of criticism is probably very confusing and alarming when you feel like people shut you down at seemingly random … But they could just assuage their anxieties by just LEARNING the rules. Like we have actual laws about what counts here.
Canada has at least one. America has them. Being able to see someone’s hair doesn’t really seem like a requirement for police officers. Back in the day, police officers all wore hats in the US anyways.
What part of a police officer’s job is made impossible by wearing a scarf or a hat?
The government should not be forbidding anyone’s religious practice. That being said, a patch on a uniform is not a religious obligation. Totally different category from a kippah, hijab, turban, ash, bindi, etc.
That position requires a willful ignorance of the difference between a religious symbol and a religious practice.
Do you really think it’s a coincidence that the law carves out a specific prohibition on religious practices that doesn’t affect Christians, the dominant religious group? Your flag has a cross on it.
This is the patch

Yeah. Frank Castle beat the shit out of many an officer who tried to follow his path of vigilantism.
Near?
Beat?
Yes. SwiftKey is not always the most accurate.

Sikh cops are allowed to wear turbans and it doesn’t harm anyone when they do.

You talking about the uniform caps, or just hats in general?
I consider caps to be hats, yes.
Any symbols other than the flag of the jurisdiction you’re serving should be forgone while wearing a uniform.
And insignia of course

Uniform dress
By that logic, these officers are not able to function in their job. Or maybe it’s just certain types of hats and scarves that are objectionable.
This looks like some 4chan shit lmao
Ha, wow. Did not picture this ‘Star of David’ patch when I read the headline.
Are you fucking kidding me? Wooooow.
The truth is that they want him to remove it because it’s extremely cringey.
It’s a call for genocide…
