But then there was a star danced...

tballardbrown:

A Hasidic recruit at the Police Academy had his dream of becoming a city cop dashed Friday — by the fuzz.

Fishel Litzman, who was just a month away from receiving his shield, got the boot after he refused to trim his scraggly beard, insisting it would violate his religious beliefs.

    Police men are called men in uniform. So then all needs to be uniformed. I hope that makes sense.

    Interesting. The police, who are supposed to protect his right to religious freedom, won’t give him a job…
