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…
It’s almost certainly this patch:

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
