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.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket!!!! I cannot believe the lack of common sense that is being displayed by the :Police in some of these postings. They know who the gangs are, concentrate on arresting them.
Fire the officer, please!
NAZI
$#%&!@*
So, wearing a rosary is a bad thing now?? Ok, so would wearing a shrunken head be more acceptable? How about wearing pants so low they show your ass crack? Is that nicer? Stupid sense of values, if any!
Gang related, so where is the proof? It is an insult to the rosary for a criminal, violent gang member to wear one, that should be an offence!
It could also be God related! Could the officer ask him a few questions to determine which it is, God or gang related!
I Don’t Care What The Student Wore Around His Neck That Did Not Give This Officer The Right To Lay Upon The Boy Until He Could Not Breath The Police Are Out Of Control So Badly That You Don’t Want To Trust Them Anymore
sounds an awful lot like religious bigotry to me .
Freedom of religion violated.
