The chief is right-—they should not be worn when on duty.
.
And the police chief should not have marched with the looters and protestors. That’s taking a side, too.
Agreed. Not appropriate for uniform.
Because?
Not being allowed to wear the bracelets is a tacit statement in agreement with the feral criminal hood community: That Darren Wilson engaged in criminal behavior, and has already been found guilty.
The African tribal primitive concept of "justice" has no place in an American city!
Not on duty.
As much as I agree with the sentiment of the Officers, yes, it would be inflamatory to wear this declaration in that city at this time. It would be an unnecessary provocation. In their private lives, and on facebook, the cops should be able to do as they wish w/o risking their jobs.
I’d concur. If they want a keepsake in their pocket that’s different. But this is just to join the idiotic game of who can egg whom on.
