    This is the definition of false equivalence, that’s comparing two situations without considering their relative differences, leading to leaps in logic or inaccurate statements.

    Sikh head wraps are an extra article of clothing which is worn for religious purposes and is widely recognized as such. This patch, while worn for religious purposes also contains clear political messages, which is inappropriate for a police officer. A peace officer who if someone disagrees with could cause that person serious life complications.

    But disregarding that, and going back to my original statement, is not an extra accessory but a modification to the uniform, which is against the department’s policies. That is why this was acceptable to be made to be removed.
