Religious tolerance is sweeping the government not just in the form of the Obama Administration’s endless divisive heckling, but also in the form of law enforcement uniform codes. It was announced this week that Sikh officers can now wear full turbans as part of the NYPD dress code. It was announced by NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill, while officers in navy blue turbans stood on each side of him. According to the National Sikh Officers Association there are about 160 Sikh officers in the NYPD with even more looking to join.
The Pentagon did something similar earlier in 2016 by approving a new policy that allowed troops to wear turbans and other religious clothing, as well as engage in religious holidays/observances. However, soldiers have to apply to wear these articles of clothing and engage in religious events. The NYPD doesn’t have that same policy. It’ll be interesting to see if this courtesy extends to just religions that wear turbans or will it extend to all religions. And they didn’t stop there.

I think Uncle Paddy’s makes an inside sporran quick draw model…
If were talking about police in Sikhs neighborhoods maybe but other than that no this is America!!!!!!
The Sikh have been long friends of America and Canada, they have done many great and humanitarian deeds and should not be confused with the barbaric muslims. They wear turbans not towels on their heads just like the Mennonites and Amish wear their hats and Jewish wear their little skull caps. They are very health and cleanliness conscience much different from the filthy habits of the muslims. We should be proud to fight beside them because the muslims are their enemies too.
Haha… I know. You should scroll up to my comment and check out the response I got.
Sikhs aren’t Muslims. As a matter of fact, the Sikhs oppose Islam.
How sick ,is america becoming
Uniforms in America should be standard wear. This is America.
Total BS. What if your religion dictated you go shirtless? Or pantsless? Separation of church and state would mean the state does not alter code to accommodate religious preference. Just imagine if Christian religion required a big cross in the shirt & jacket.
Definitely not muslim but they should follow the uniform rules, no exceptions.
Larry Lang wouldn’t that be a Scott?
