The police union's request goes against their oath to uphold the constitution and never betray public trust. Their actions stem from the Miami Dolphin's players kneeling during their games (expressing their freedom of speech and right to protest). It betrays public trust because it illustrates that if the person they are charged with protecting has undesired beliefs, they can deny service. As American police officers, they should feel obligated to protect those different beliefs. Officers that resist that obligation do not deserve serve in the United States of America.
