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.

Would like to know what really happened. There are always 3-sides to a story; his, his and then the truth.
that is bad and the office should be sanctioned
What is our country coming to? This “request”
While I do not condone this officers actions, a Rosary is not a necklace and should not be worn as one. It belongs in a pocket or in your hand while praying. This child should have been detained until the arrival of his parents not handled like an adult
just what did he do?
Serious omissions in this report. He wasn’t thrown on the ground just for wearing a rosary.
Another punk ass cop overstepping his authority and stepping on the young mans rights.
Oh!!!no!!
I wish I was there when that happened I would have literally beat the hell out of that fat ass cop and anyone else trying to take that cross from that kid
So
