Yeah guys, he's just a history buff! He likes the knights templar for ordinary not fascist reasons. It's not his fault if, as a white cop in Hamilton, you jump to conclusions about how he displays symbols that...heck, they pre-date the Nazis! That's why it would also be fine for him to have a swastika on the car. Maybe he's just into tibetan culture! Oh, it's clearly the-nazi one, rotated, on a white circle with a red background, from a nazi store? Well maybe it's the only one he could find, okay? Look the nazis appropriated that symbol. Surely it's more likely that he just likes tibetan culture...surely!

A Hamilton police officer, back at work after he was investigated for sharing racist and extremist content online, is again displaying a sticker "associated with white nationalist extremism" on his vehicle, a community group says.

Oh, surely an honest mistake.

Even in Canada. Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

Are they so desperate to find new recruits that they'll just hire anybody? This kind of thing should be cause for dismissal and even have a whole investigation started.

the nazi-esque symbol is pretty obvious - but what in the hell is that All Seeing Anus sticker???

[–] TheFarm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's an opium poppy (papaver somniferum). Not sure what the symbolism of that is, though.
