This thread is the perfect example of what is wrong with society today. I am thoroughly disgusted that there are people defending the actions of this officer. There is absolutely NO justification for what he did. And I would be just as disgusted if it was the gift of pork and an easy bake oven to a Jew or a noose and a KKK hood to a black man. Where do we draw the line here?? Where is the respect for your fellow human beings? Why should the one being offended just shrug it off. Why not let the gang rape victim shrug it off because the boys were just having fun!? This Muslim joined the police force so he should just accept that some people are thoughtless morons and not react? What is wrong with you people that you can not see the absurdity of what you're saying!?!
This is NOT humour, it can, in no way be understood to be humour and can only be taken one way....offensive!! I also come from a huge military family and have been on the receiving end and the giving end of practical jokes, I have heard and laughed at jokes about Muslims and never took them as an intent to be offensive, but THIS is nothing but vile.
The guy QUIT, was not fired....consider that and ask why he would quit before he was fired.
The next time you women are walking down the road and being harassed by a bunch of guys "having fun", don't be offended....this happens all the time and is perfectly fine and acceptable...get over it and suck it up princess!! The guys remember the same thing when it happens to your mother, sister, wife or girlfriend.
Exaggerating?? Maybe, but where do you draw the line? One person's fun may not be so much fun for the person on the other end!
Uffff, so disgusted.
