An image of the officer wearing the black patch that includes the star and white bars, similar to the Israeli flag, was posted on social media on Thursday.

This clickbait headline didn't specify that it's not the Magen David, but rather a representation of the Israeli flag, which is not the same thing.

Also, Canada has "thin blue line" flags? What do they look like? The Canadian flag only has two thick stripes, so unless they're using the version based on the US flag (which makes no fucking sense - they're Canadian), I don't see it.

For reference, here's the image of the patch (downloaded from another article that actually included it:

Canada has “thin blue line” flags

Ew, just as gross as ours. Thanks for the education!

Canadian reactionaries and fascist fucking love American symbolism. They are just standard American Republicans who hate Trudeau.

Man why do so many proto fascists and fascists around the world like American imagery so . . . oh im hearing it now.

I'd say worse. The US flag at least already has horizontal lines on it. This looks especially out of place.
