white cop + cornrows = fail

RACER X · 09-22-2009, 01:38 PM

PHILADELPHIA (Sept. 21) - Police in Philadelphia say a white officer who came to work with cornrows was ordered by a black superior to get a haircut because the braids violated department standards.
The Philadelphia Daily News reported Monday that Officer Thomas Strain was put on desk duty this month because of the braids, even though the paper reported dozens of black officers wear cornrows.

Cause it isn't professional looking. What would you think if your lawyer or judge had a style like that?

Besides kinda like how they ask female cops to put their hair in ponytails.

I can't really explain it either other than it's just not the "norm" plus the fact that it looks goofy as f*ck for a white guy to have cornrows and looks too thuggish for a black guy in uniform to have them.

In the military...female members with long hair must keep it up and away from the face...just a standard I guess.
