14-year-old Jacob Herrera from Amarillo, TX attended a school football game last week and was asked by officer, Corporal Wilson, to remove the rosary he was wearing.
When Herrera refused the officer appeared to use excessive force, according to an eyewitness.
Cops ask people not wear a rosary as it could be gang related.

Shame Rosary is a Women Realy
Rosary’s are not worn. EVER. What’s the true story here?
Don says:
“I do not wear a rosary I wear a cross with a badge underneath it. Many people do wear a rosary and they have a right to do so. And if any gangs use the rosary as a sign that is a poor choice. But being in a gang is a poor choice.”

Good job to the officer!!! Follow directions kids. You might not like it but you must do what others tell you anyway. If you wanta be a tough guy you better be able to back it up.
Wow that’s just plain sad…SMH.
The government may make no law pertaining to freedom of religion. This young man’s rights were violated by the school and then by the officer. Their excuse that some gangs are wearing rosary beads as a sign of affiliation can be used to make nuns and priests remove their beads also. It is a stretch to say that this was a legal action. My first big question is where is the public outrage about this incident? Where are the national rights groups protesting the violation of this young man’s rights. Yes he is not an 18 year old, over 6 feet tall, over 200 pound thug who was shot while battering a police officer. He is just a puny 14 year old trying to support his friends at a school football game but doesn’t he deserve an outcry?
Come on people let us give him the same visceral response we give for hoodlums. Let us say that a quiet youth has the right to believe in God and show his support for the religious tenets that may be keeping him from gang life. Write a letter, share a post, start your own blog to kelp raise the cry for religious freedom before it is lost to us all.
My last question is this:
Would there have been an altercation if the student was wearing a “Star and Crescent” or the Arabic “Allah” instead of a rosary?

LISTEN YOU IDIOTS! THE VATICAN HAS ISSUED AN EDICT, ROSARIES CAN NOT BE WORN AS JEWELRY! THE VATICAN CHIDED SO CALLED CATHOLICS FOR DOING SO! PLUS GANG MEMBERS BUY DIFFERENT COLOR ROSARIES TO SAY WHICH GANG THEY BELONG TO! HE HAS A RIGHT TO WEAR HIS ROSARY BUT NOT ON SCHOOL GROUNDS DURING A FOOTBALL GAME AT COULD HAVE GOTTEN OTHER KIDS KILLED IN A CROSSFIRE IF A GANG SHOOT OUT STARTED! HIS RIGHTS END WHEN HIS ACTIONS OR ATTIRE ENDANGER OTHER INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!!!
