Rooted: DART Police Officer Dakari Davis shares his hair story

[@rollingking5441]

I’m going to get mine done as we speak brother don’t cut it

[@troyevitt2437]

As a white male who has worn my hair long most of my life, I was glad to see the case against UPS, originally brought by black males wanting to wear dreads, resulted in all males being allowed to wear their hair long with a few reasonable guidelines maintaining neatness. When I was in my 20s, I worked at Waldenbooks and the rule for male hair was IF it's long enough to go into a ponytail, IT HAS TO go into a ponytail.

They would do this to White people, also, if they had long hair, though. This is obviously madness that they are trying to make this into a race issue however, I do think he should be able to wear his hair as he pleases, as long as it doesn't effect his job. Cornrowes might be a perfect alternative to anyone who like to have long hair, White or Black.

Hair has to be cut so that it's off the collar and above the ears as stated by policy. In this respect his hair is both 1. Off the collar 2. Above the ears thus there is nothing in violation with his hair other than the superiors stereotyping the hair style.

[@Bdawg92]

@@jp-uno That can be said about women which is clear that its a double standard.

[@khalidbinwaleed5072]

I’ve had braids for 2 years I ain’t cutting them off for no one

[@2kmessiah_350]

Are you in the force ?

[@PeculiarJake]

Bro I prayed that under the trump administration we don’t go back when it comes to our hair

[@Alles2007]

As long as it’s not in a way someone can grab or below the shoulders, let them wear it how they like.

[@jbjb4783]

Of course the racists have to be petty.....smh , the brother sounds intelligent and does his job. Once again another black man has to deal with more BS...... smh, its sad and disgusting how people worry about THE WRONG THING.

[@victory5784]

This is the reason a lot of folks won’t go into law enforcement I live in Georgia and I know a lot of guys with tats and long hair we won’t join and become a clone!!

[@G3TAcademy]

This is why states like illinois have a CROWN ACT barring employers from discriminating against ethnic hairstyles. We need this passed on a national level

[@flanagamer]

@@G3TAcademyyep. Even in the military black women can have braids now. Times are changing.
