| We had a bit of that crap around here a few years back ('03 to '05, pre-K,) 'till Compass nixed it. Folks who had that hairstyle could keep it, so long as garrison hat would completely cover it and they wore the hat at all times––-which was impossible, since many judges will toss a contempt ruling or you for not doffing your hat in court. |

The question is this- Did he do it because he liked them or did he do it because he wanted to address the different standard? my thoughts exactly. He looks like a jackass and I could not take him serious whether as a citizen or as a fellow officer. J- Yup. Something about a massive uniform manual violation comes to mind as well. |
| from the news article the officer definately sounds like a solid stand up cop. It mentions that he was a marine that did two tours in Iraq and survived two IED attacks / earned his CIB. Other officers who were interviewed said that hes a good hardworking cop and kind you wanted to have around when the SHTF. It just sounds to me like he is trying to draw attention to a double standard with uniform restrictions within department policy. If he has been able to document other black officers wearing cornrows for a significant period of time without reprimand, i would find it hard to see how his agency will be able to seriously burn him on this deal. |
| Personally I think they are not professional, however our AA officers are allowed to wear them so why not the white guy? We also have a order concerning shaving. If you can get a letter from your doctor stating you get 'bumps' (I can't remeber the official term) you don't have to shave. |

(trying to wear the burka peep-hole headgear as a uniform cop is a far cry from having a goofy hair-do) welcome to philly. edit: he's a former marine (if you can see the military decoration above his badge), served a tour in the sandbox (or so I am told), so you can understand his mentality... my comments in red. |
