It's a silly little finger game that has been around since my USAF days (early-mid 1970s). There is nothing about it that is in any way associated with white power, except in the minds of people who have been conned by someone feeding them a line. JPD management has been taken in and needs to set this right.

I am the mother of 2 Marines and one of my Marines has that symbol as a tattoo on his right thigh..it is a game that all military branches play..and all ranks play it is not a gang sign nor is it racist in any way..and it is unbelievable that someone would be suspended from their job for doing it.

Very pathetic that someone is stupid enough to find a game that we all played in middle school to be offensive. What kind of idiot mayor and police chief is runnin that town. How about you guys and gals buckle your seat belts and drive safety rather than looking for stupid reasons to gripe and complain... but hey that’s what happens when you let a bunch of spineless cowards get in office and they cave to a few individuals who are used to getting their way and causing trouble for everyone else in America!

I am very disappointed in this decision because of stupidity. These guys were just trying to have a little fun. They are always in stressful situations and need to be allowed to just enjoy their jobs with an idiot assuming.

It’s not a racist gesture. Get your facts before you blame. Poor excuse for a mayor

Intent should always be considered. We will not be able to function if we are afraid an innocent thing we do will be considered offensive by others.
