A decision to affix an American flag graphic to the side of freshly painted Laguna Beach police cars is dividing residents who are alternately praising the image as patriotic or panning it as too aggressive.
After hearing the criticism and acknowledging that the image they approved didn’t quite match the final results, officials agreed to reconsider their February decision to paint the Laguna Beach Police Department’s fleet of 11 squad cars. The City Council will take up the issue again at its Tuesday meeting.
“People are screaming that the American flag on a police car is somehow or another … hurting people’s feelings who might be immigrants or visitors,” said Councilman Peter Blake. “People are actually ridiculous enough to bring up comments about our cop cars having American flags on them.”
Artist Carrie Woodburn went to the podium at the March 19 council meeting and said it was “shocking to see the boldness of the design” when the newly painted Ford Explorers rolled out.

And what will happen in California if they place, “In God We Trust” on police cars?
The Dem/Socialist hate America, period.
If they cared about the country, they wouldn’t be a government-sponsored gang of thugs.
Democrats are evil.
I like the new paint job. Lived in Laguna for many years.
“Honest, I don’t give a #### WHAT’S on a police car when it’s pulling me over or when I’m driving next to it.”
Me either. A Laguna Beach cop pulled me over once when I was a high school kid and I have no idea if there was a flag on the car.
A bunch of us had gone down to Thousand Steps one night. As I turned up Laguna Canyon while heading home the cop pulled me over for ‘unsafe lane change’...but there was no one on the road except for me and the cop and he was nowhere close to me. It was utter BS, he just wanted to see what we were up to.
So I asked him why he had pulled us over... when he said “unsafe lane change” I snorted at the absurdity of it... so he arrested me. I literally got arrested for derisive laughter. My parents weren’t happy with having to bail me out of the Laguna Beach hoosegow. The prick.
Cute in NO WAY overrides STUPID and COMMIE.

Yeah, I’ve never noticed any coming from the DC on north from the other coast.

If only; in an ideal world!
I have actually heard “press two for english” !!
which is the Soros/Koch, Obama/Bush globalist plan for the United States.
Commies are always bothered by symbols of freedom.
Laguna Beach is full of perversion, pestilence and perdition.
Think Supes would let Luthor have his “Costa del Lex” these days?
How about “Go F*** yourself if this (picture of flag) offends you”
Still is.
I’m just tired of everything being a BITCH subject. Every day it’s Bitch, Bitch, Bitch, about every subject. We are being invaded, we owe $23 trillion we can’t pay, and we finally have a good POTUS and he can’t get anything past these sexually neutered people in the congress. We have N Korea, Iran, China, and Russia all arming up and we Bitch about flags on cop cars. Somebody take a pill.
Last time I was around there was mid-60’s when stationed at El Toro. Not a friendly place for Marines without much money.
Just south of San Jose. This area is little asia. Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese abound.
8 in 10 people here.
Laguna Beach...Queer town.
