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.

A rosary with a knife inside it? Are you kidding me? have you ever seen a rosary? the Crucifix is maybe one or two inches long. Is this cop the thought police? Lots of cops gettin to big for their britches.Devout Catholics don’t wear a rosary for jewelry but i’v seen plenty of them hanging from a car mirror. In a free society he has a right to wear a rosary if he wants. I agree with him should have complied with the cops commands. What if I said all women with tattoos on their legs is a gang symbol? Its a slippery slope. careful what you wish for.
O yeah tell the Muslims to stop covering their faces.Tell them to sut up about Bacon, pork ,pigs, dogs etc.If he isn’t doing anything wrong you have no right to tell him what to do Religious freedom still stand for us Catholics and Christians.Whether you like it or not. If that was my grandson I would effin sue u.
what a jerk
What is the matter with these bully boys? Where’s the crime in wearing a rosary? And don’t tell me it’s become a “gang symbol”, because I don’t believe it.
So wrong !!!!
What??? I’m not Catholic but what “right” does this cop have to forbid this young man to remove his rosary? Is he TRYING to make this kid & others HATE cops or what? What about the gang members who wear the cross necklaces? They are SOOO misrepresenting our Lord. But, don’t they have a “right” to wear their necklaces? Fire that cop. He’s a disgrace to his uniform.
Freedom??
Agree the cop should be brought up on assault charges
law suit and street justice.
Gov.Rick Perry where are you? How can this be allowed? Why are these police officers still employed?
