Shameful.[/quote]

Yes, it was shameful. The police should never have put up that tweet showing the wood-worked flag-looking thing. At the very least, they should have taken the tweet down after they heard from the community. For the police to be able to do their job effectively, the community needs to trust the police. The flag-looking thing just encouraged [b]dis[/b]trust.[/quote]

Why?  [/quote]

Because while the originators of the blue-line flag did not intend it as a symbol of white supremacy, white supremacists use it as a symbol of white supremacy.[/quote]

So, every time white supremacists co-opt  a symbol and use it as theirs, we are going to ban it?  Or,  not recognize it?  Like the Betsy Ross flag?
So, if white supremacists start using rainbow symbols, are we going to do away  with that?  Of, if they start using pink pussy hats, are we doing away with those?

The thin blue line flag is nothing more than a flag recognizing the lives of police officers who, when they leave their houses for work, are never quite sure if they will return to their homes and their families.  
Stop allowing hate groups to have more power than they should have.  [/quote]
