Full title: Police station is banned from displaying ‘divisive thin blue line’ flag after complaints it’s ‘dismissive’ of the Black Lives Matter movement

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

Grow a Pair. Tell Them "F YOU". QUIT Kissing their asses at every turn.

"Racist cops hunting down and shooting innocent black men." is the BLM lie born in Ferguson, spread by Liberals in and out of the media. It was proven a lie by a Grand Jury and Obama's own Just Us Dept but the truth doesn't fit the agenda of America hating Liberals and Police hating scum.

Something’s wrong. This is from the Daily Mail, but I didn’t see the word ‘Shocking’ anywhere.

I fly mine when there is a police/fire fatality...sort of like half staff for the USA flag. If the MAJORITY of us IGNORED a few fruit cakes among us, we would be AN EVEN BETTER nation.

I fully support the sentiment behind the Thin Blue Line American Flag, (and the Thin Red Line for Firefighters, Thin Green Line for military, etc.,) but it is unlawful.

U.S. Code § 8.Respect for flag

(g)The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

As long as they understand that there is no cop better than the WORST cop on ‘their’ side fo the flag.

They probably call us ‘civilians’, too.

the ‘think blue line ‘ *IS* the problem.

The Thin Blue Line IS divisive....it’s meant to be. It’s what separates us common (good) folk from the bad folk. Imagine if that line disappeared.

If you can enforce rules, but can’t follow them, then you have a real problem.

If black lives mattered so much, why don’t they clean up their own backyard first? About 50 black lives a day, are extinguished by other blacks. Seems like the message is a bit weak.

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.

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!

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!
