What if it was a black officer who had joined the Nation of Islam. Same answer?

Oh, no. Not same answer. That would be the black officers RIGHT.


I'm being bitchy, I know, but I have been wondering what the feelings are for the rights of neo-Nazi's and Klanners since we're all so OK with militant Muslim's calling for blood and beheadings.

Absolutely.
An officer has no place in those kinds of organizations.
The reason, they take an oath to the organization above all governments... that is why.
If it was just a racist ideal, I would not like it, but would support their right to free speech and to keep their job.
Just because someone is racist does not mean they will act on it. Objectivity is the soul of the law.

NOI is ostensibly a religious organization ... so the basis of the answer would be different.

Let's say a black officer chose to join the Black Panther Party ...

I don't think anyone would even try to touch him.

The case of the trooper in the Klan is a racial discrimination issue, but won't be referred to as one because the race in question is white.
