DH's closest male friend is a cop and he caught hayle for wearing cornrows. He finally cut his hair b/c they hassled him so much.
How did they hassle your husband's friend? Did they write him up or threaten to? Give him a crappy schedule? Sometimes one has to decide which battles they want to fight, if you will.
