Let the deranged lead us.
om the Florence response operations and the incident is under investigation, said Coast Guard Lt. J.B. Zorn. “Whatever that symbol means, it doesn’t reflect the Coast Guard and our core values,” Zorn said. “It won’t be tolerated.
That's hilarious.
Talk about STUPID..

 If I did that on TV, Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else I would lose my job.  I can do stuff like that in my own time, but not while assigned to a post.

 I'd still lose my job no matter what the sign language means.  Its prohibited in "any and all forms" thus meaning any method of displaying a symbol, of any kind, at all is strictly prohibited.

 You pose your hands in a way that can be represented as a symbol that conveys meaning and you are violating policy.  

 Thumbs-up = fired
 Okay symbol = fired
 Peace symbol = fired
 Scratching your ear in a way that could be considered a symbol = investigation
 
 If you have a propensity for shaping your hand into symbols while being filmed its best you notify your supervisor or CO immediately.

No, the "OK" Gesture Is Not a Hate Symbol | Anti ...
https://www.adl.org/blog/no-the-ok-gesture-is-not-a-hate-symbol
The “OK” hand gesture hoax originated in February 2017 when an anonymous 4channer announced “Operation O-KKK,” telling other members that “we must flood Twitter and other social media websites…claiming that the OK hand sign is a symbol of white supremacy.”

How the “OK” Symbol Became a Popular Trolling Gesture ...
https://www.adl.org/blog/how-the-ok-symbol-became-a-popular...
Has the simple thumb-and-forefinger “OK” hand gesture become a white supremacist hand sign? Has the simple thumb-and-forefinger “OK” hand gesture become a white supremacist hand sign? ... This is thanks to a 2017 hoax campaign started by members of the notorious website 4chan that has since taken on a life of its own

When policy is STUPID , I'm happy to point it out.

I guess it's necessary for national security.

Gosh, and all in the last few months.
It's a fukking hoax.
Read the link.
And did anyone notice
I don't know what it means
But it's not gonna be tolerated?
Genius..pure genius..
And he DIDN'T say

We have given everyone strict instructions about any
Hand signals.
Why, our people aren't even allowed to give a
Thumbs up signal..

Nope, didn't reference policy.
In fact
Stated ignorance of the meaning
Of a goddammed okay sign
And THEN, after not knowing fukkall about it
Said it would not be tolerated..

I despise such morons.

The perpetually butthurt gullible goobs haven't considered the fact that All their lives, that has been
Okay.
And in a matter of months
It's white power.
Is the plural of doofus
Doofi?
Or just keep it simple and say
Lefties,,,?

So?
What's THEIR normal ISN'T what ours is.
We have our own society and our ways HERE are ours.
I'm aware of the sign language .
It's got nothing to do with the fact that someone started this as a way to troll lefties.
What a successful effort!

 I agree with your point that the suspension didn't mention a general violation of policy, but appears to be about the potential that a person was using an inappropriate gesture.

 The unfortunate part of fast-moving social media structures, such as viral trends/videos etc. is that something that has been "normal" historically can be drastically changed, and in large numbers in very short periods of time.

 This is a new concept, and one that can have advantages, and disadvantages.  This case would be a disadvantage.

Shocked

So if a heli winch operator sees that from any perp he's just loaded in the basket he should cut the line and go?

Or maybe we should prosecute WHG's for cultural appropriation?

Like a kid starting a rumor in school,
This Whole Thing is a JOKE.
Started and promoted Only for the purpose of Trolling Lefties!
And what a perfect example of the gullibility of the perpetually butthurt.
So desperate for the next reason to get outraged..
Good grief,
I'm waiting for farting to be racist.

Why does anyone think he is making a sign.....maybe he is just picking at something on his neck.......It is dumbfounding what Americans can find to be outraged about.
