Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Mayor Bill Bazzi announced Friday that the new Arabic police patch was not “official” — but didn’t rule out adopting such a badge of surrender in the future.
A Facebook post from the police department posted earlier this week read: “The Dearborn Heights Police Department [DHPD] is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” (snip)
The patch, according to the post (which appears to have since been removed), “incorporat[ed] Arabic script alongside English” and was “designed … to reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home,”

Anyone who partcipated in this pathetic proposal should go, too. We have always been an English-speaking country. We should never have tried to appease those who use other languages. It has been a while, but when I toured many parts of China on a month-long tour, the only English I saw was at the Great Wall near Beijing.

FTA: "a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,”
Remember when seat belts were recommended but optional?

The mayor is studying up on Sharia law as we speak.
He knows what's coming to Dearborn.
We all do, but no one has the balls to do anything about it.

Will the last American out of Dearborn please turn out the power, water and sewer, and remember to take down the flag. The conquerors should feel at home.

"In 2023, Dearborn, Michigan, became the destination for both the Arab American National Museum and the largest mosque in North America. Dearborn, with a population of 110,000 people, is the largest Arab-majority city in the United States, according to 2023 U.S. Census Bureau data."

They are intent on bringing Sharia law to the United States. That can be a slow, insidious process. Ignore the signs at our peril.

I’ll bet they wouldn’t offer an optional patch for Japanese, Chinese or Mongolian officers. And what about Hindus?

When I was in Afghanistan in the beginning of the century, I wore double nametags on my uniform, one in Latin alphabet, on in Arabic script. As we worked with local civilian and military a lot, my command thought it was a practical thing to do among a country whose people who didn't read our alphabet, and a polite thing to do in somebody else's country. (In Germany, we wore a pocket hanger with our equivalent German rank on it - and we were trained to read their ranks. Not the Brits, though; we weren't in their country.)
If you are the odd person out in our country, learn to read out alphabet and learn to speak our language, as best you can.
(My big problem was with non-native Arabic speakers who kept telling me my Arabic script nametag was misspelled. I had to keep reminding them just because it LOOKED like Arabic didn't mean it was. I was in Dari, a completely different language and the most spoken one in Afghanistan. So there.)

This is of a piece. WE think we're being open, accommodating, and understanding. THEY think we're acknowledging the superiority of Islam.

One could claim that Dearborn is no longer an American city so let them wear what they please. Arabic script looks like a bunch or earthworms crawled through a paint spill and then crawled across some flat surface.

I seem to recall other police/fire fighters being told that they could not wear non-sanctioned articles of clothing including "All Lives Matter" patches.

The author insinuates that the government should not ‘allow immigrants to form ethnic enclaves’. The government has no way to stop it. Muslims buy homes and businesses in Dearborn Hts and elect each other to run the city. Prayer bells are rung throughout the city all day. Non-muslims do not go there. I totally agree that no police force in the US should have anything on their uniform in a foreign language, but that would require a State law and Governor Satan would never allow it. It’s not easy to be a conservative in Michigan.

YGBKM! It's going exactly to the plan published in Australia many years ago. The plan laid out step by step the methods and timetable of the takeover. Dearborn has reached the level according to the plan when muslims can come out with overt actions to undermine local government. It's only a matter of time until force is applied when they don't get their way.

Don't want to imagine what is being hired as law enforcement in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. Will they be hiring illegals? Btw, some bullies and thugs wear badges.
