    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.
