    A member of the police cannot wear a symbol of genocide as part of their uniform.

    It’d be like wearing a KKK patch in the American south.

      The thin blue line flag is an overtly fascist neo-nazi symbol and cops all over America wear those patches, so I see what you’re trying to say, but your second sentence is pretty… interesting.

      The star of David is a Jewish symbol. The Jewish religion is separate from the Israeli government. The government may be committing genocide in the name of the religion, but that doesn’t mean the entire religion is genocidal.

        Upon viewing the patch, it’s pretty clear it’s a monotone flag of the state of Israel, not just a Star of David

        Cool.

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

          I hate these kinds of comments.

          They said absolutely nothing of the sort.

          Taking someone’s valid point and then accusing them of some outlandish thing, completely fabricated by you, on the extreme other side of the spectrum of the context is just a stupid way of interacting with others.

          It really just betrays how childish you are and how horribly distorted your world view/psychological condition in general is.
