I recently saw where a female Mulim police officer (I think in New York) was demonstrating how to properly wrap the scarf around your head and neck. The whole time I am thinking.....great, give the criminal something to choke you to de*th with or at the least pull it over your eyes so you can't see while they assault you and take your weapon. That is why we had clip on ties. Progressive departments need to think officer safety over the officers beliefs.
