    Cool.

    So you’d be OK with a cop wearing a Hamas patch when interacting with Jewish members of the public?

      No, I’m not okay with the police having any such patches. My comment wasn’t about that though.

          Which is why my comment clearly differentiates between the Jewish religion and the Israeli government.

          Funny, people sure seem to act like it is.

          The Star of David is fine, I’ve got concerns about the Israeli flag. Those bars do a lot of painful lifting there.

          Though also I’m actually wondering why a cop is allowed to display their religious symbols on their uniforms. I’d be super uncomfortable to see a cop with a cross or a mjolnir so maybe they shouldn’t have a Star of David or a crescent or even a pentacle. Maybe they shouldn’t be thought of as religious but just civil servants until they take their uniform off
