Russ, in all seriousness I don't see what is off topic about the discussion that's going on in this thread. The original news article contains claims about discrimination, we are trying to pin down the nature of discrimination. Is it always wrong, or is it at times justified? There is no doubt that it is 'discrimination', in one strictly-defined sense of the word, that men can't wear ear rings while on police duty. But is this necessarily wrong? And is it enough to say 'it's discrimination simply because it is?'
If this is not at the heart of the topic, please tell me what is.
EDIT
On reflection, I promise not to get too diverted by logical fallacies, tho'.
