So it Begins: Cop Threatens to Arrest Muslim Woman for Wearing a Hijab – The Free Thought Project: Witnesses to the incident at Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Neighborhood library were understandably stunned.
Jessica Raven, interim executive director of Collective Action for Safe Spaces, happened to be “within a foot” of the woman when the officer began harassing her about her religious head covering.
“All I heard was he started asking her to take off her hijab. My jaw dropped,” Raven told DCist. “The man next to her spoke up, but the officer continued to harass her. Ultimately, he came towards her in an intimidating way, pulled out his handcuffs and said if she didn’t want to take off [the hijab], she had to leave.”
So she left.
