A Michigan police department tried to sneak Arabic writing onto official police badges before patriots fought back. The Dearborn Heights Police Department posted pictures of new patches with both English and Arabic text. They claimed officers could choose to wear these foreign language badges as part of their official uniforms.
This would have made Dearborn Heights the first police department in America to put Arabic on officer badges. The patches said “Dearborn Heights Police” in English and Arabic script. Police Chief Ahmed Haidar pushed this change without proper approval from city leaders or community input.
Concerned Americans across the country immediately spoke out against this dangerous precedent. Citizens flooded social media with outrage over American police wearing foreign languages on their uniforms. The backlash was so strong that city officials had to respond within days.
Mayor Bill Bazzi quickly backtracked and said the Arabic patches were never official. He claimed they were just an idea that should never have been shown to the public. The original Facebook post was deleted after the controversy exploded.
Even the local police officers association opposed their own chief’s reckless decision. They said the chief sparked threats and criticism from patriots nationwide. The officers never wanted this change forced on them without proper discussion.
This is exactly what happens when liberal politicians try to erase American traditions. Our police badges have always been in English because this is America. Foreign languages on official government uniforms sends the wrong message about who we serve.
Dearborn Heights has a large Middle Eastern population, but that doesn’t mean American institutions should bow to foreign cultures. Police serve all Americans under one flag and one language. When immigrants come here, they should adapt to our ways, not the other way around.
Thanks to brave Americans who spoke up, this attack on our traditions was stopped cold. This fight shows that patriots are watching and will defend American values. We must stay vigilant against any attempts to change what makes America great.
