< I’m not fond of their flag. It looks like a defaced version of the American Flag. <

I agree. If it’s okay to put a blue line on the American flag, then where does it stop? Would be a good thing for Irish-Americans to put a green line somewhere? How about a black line for African-Americans?

The flag is supposed to unite us, not divide us.

“If the MAJORITY of us IGNORED a few fruit cakes among us, we would be AN EVEN BETTER nation.”

We did ignore them, for about 50 years while they were taking over our education system, brainwashing our kids, taking over our media and entertainment industries, etc. You sure you want to ignore them even more? Maybe it’s about time we became noticeably outraged instead!

Better to ban the blue line from setting foot into black neighborhoods. Set up popcorn stands to watch them rape, pillage and murder each other.

You have more in common with our leftist enemies than with the typical Freeper.

Regardless of you position on this issue, I don’t think that it is appropriate for non-elected officials to use their building or office to promote any political agenda, particularly one that benefits themselves.

The Hatch act prohibits this for good reason. Do you think that the at fbi should be spending time on the job promoting themselves and duping the public into believing that they are indispensable?

These bureaucracies already have enough power and any propaganda campaign (whether you agree or disagree) should be out of bounds. Sure, they can engage in public relations, but that should be primarily focused on actually listening to the public, not telling them what to think.

Good. We have the Stars and Stripes and it is red, white, and blue! About time the police started showing some respect to the flag and not altering it. Let them use the three stripe black and blue flag and leave our national flag alone!

“Imagine if that line disappeared “

Yeah, who’d protect the criminals from an armed citizenry?

I was considering moving down closer to where I work in Silver Spring, so as to not be part of the rush hour problem, which is bound to get worse over time. But first we have County Executive Marc Elrich, who seems to think MS-13 miscreants shouldn’t be handed over to the Feds for deportation. And now we have this: Marc Elrich coming out against this flag being displayed at the police station and all these dipsh*ts on Twatter seemingly in agreement with him.

Why should I pursue a seemingly more livable lifestyle in MoCo, closer to where I work, with a faster commute and better transit options, when I would be living under such an awful local government and alongside all these dipsh*ts?

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

A relative of mine who lived there used to call it "Soweto."
