Before I load the article, I’m gonna guess Punisher.
Edit: Israeli flag with a line through it. Fuck Israel.

In the photo, the bottom corner of the patch is not visible. Mariel Cooksey, the executive director of the Canadian Institute for Far-Right Studies, told CTV News she’s seen the patch before, often with the skull-shaped logo for The Punisher, a violent comic book vigilante, added in that corner.
Cooksey said the skull imagery is often utilized by Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S., and was previously seen on a police officer in Toronto in 2020.
“We saw it painted on the shields of protestors at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017,” she said.
“It’s a very frightening symbol to be worn by a police officer who is there to protect the general public.”
The article does a bad job describing it. It’s not really an Israel flag with a line through it. It’s a a patch that’s half Israel’s flag and half punisher logo with a thin border separating them.
That image is from this article which is about the symbols prevalence in the IDF (in spite THEIR uniform regulations) and the anti- Palestinian message it portrays.
I think the police viewing themselves as punishers (even in the most naive interpretation of the symbol) is really problematic. Police expressing a position on Israel is also not appropriate, I don’t even like them wearing ‘support our troops’ badges and ribbons. But maybe it’s better that they make their bad attitudes explicitly visible…

I came back to update the thread after seeing the full patch. Thanks for pointing this out. Here’s the patch.
So doucebag cops at it again
