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.

They are both turbans period! I can tell the difference between a girl and a boy bathroom also and some one is also trying to shove that c**p down or throats too. Not blame the arrival says the dress code has been change to suite the whiners really ladies you are barking up the wrong tree. You may sympathize with them however I do not. Keep believing they are peaceful …..stupidity runs deep so so often.
This is sick. This is america

This is totally c**p, everyone that joins a force should wear the uniform of that particular group and if they don’t want to then they should not be allowed to join or be hired
The times they are a changing.
Aassimilate you$#%&!@*if you want to be a NYPD cop.
Oh by all means . Change the uniform to suit the Muslims. But don’t fly the American flag , or Confederate flag. It would be racist. Well I got news for you. I’m affended by Muslims wearing THEIR rags on their head . In stead of the uniform issued cover. I’m very offended by it. Make them take it off. The police Union ain’t got no guts if they stand for this.
I wouldn’t wear that for anyone.
No, thank you.
