In this particular case, the officer played the race card which immediately calls into question her veracity.
Do cops work 7 days a week?
It should be fairly easy, especially in NYPD, to arrange her her to either not work friday/ saturday and have either a night shift sat or morn/afternoon shift friday.
That said. Tossing the blak womyn card makes me lean towards suspicion.
But 14 years on the force should indicate a history of taking that time off, so IDK
Eight years? Come on man!
Jesus Himself rebuked the Pharisees over this sort of thing repeatedly in the Gospels.
I don’t understand why people apply for 24/7 jobs if they can’t be available 24/7.
We did have an employee at my prison that demanded both saturday and sunday off as a religious accommodation. Unfortunately that person was the chaplain. They dropped her like a hot rock.

I don’t know. The article indicates that she was told that her religion was ‘not for Black people’. That can be interpreted as discrimination against Blacks. It’s like telling a Black Conservative that ‘the Republican party is not for you.’
This is the key point. All the other stuff is an aside except maybe if the supervisor really said, "her religion was 'not for black people.'" Sounds like actual racism to me. As someone said up thread, it's like saying "conservatism is not for black people." I loath race baiters and race scammers, but I also hate actual racists.
I worked with an SDA and I took his Saturday duties and he took my Sunday duties. Our boss did not understand. I also covered for him on Winter Fridays near 5PM. It’s not that hard to understand
I think the race card was thrusted on to the woman,
I think everyone on this thread has missed the point.
The Seventh Dat Adventists are a Christian denomination, not a Jewish one. So they celebrate the Christian Sabbath on Saturday not Sunday.
It has nothing to do with Judaism.
It is a legitimate denomination that has been around for more than a century.
They are claiming she was not only NOT a Seventh Day Adventist but that no such organization exists.
Then they claim she is pretending to be Jewish when she is not.
And finally that no black person can be Jewish not a Seventh Day Adventist.
There is gross ignorance on the part of those calling her a scammer.
They could have easily verified it by calling her church,
