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.

Horrible.
I would get the nastiest pit bull of a lawyer and sue the c**p out of all of them! This is the totally unacceptable. We can’t display a rosary but at the same time we are supposed to be “tolerant” of muslim behavior? BS! GET AN ATTORNEY!!!!
I find this hard to believe, but if its true, someone should own that guy.
Excessive force? Ya think? How could a rosary be an issue?
biblical rosary is legal.http://www.theholyrosary.org/
Don’t believe
Appeared ? Rather clear, we are becoming more of a police state and particularly anti Christian
What exactly is the cops name who did this? Is there a phone number where one can reach him? Its only through peer accountability that we can assert social pressure and positively assert change!!
Whatever the circumstances, the kids rights were violated at an after school event in which he was a spectator and then brutally beaten by a bully with a badge because he refuse to comply with the ideology of so call officers of the law. Some parts of the country are turning into a dictatorships where some ways of life being acceptable to the masses and others inflicted. Total hypocrisy of many to reach quick judgment. The facts can be manipulated to suit those who always feel to be right even when wrong. The Rosary is an Amulet many wear to “protect from all evil” contrary to the beliefs of many. Its easer to stereotype someone than it is to reach a reasonable explanation on why he wore the item.
You all believe everything that’s put on here
