Seattle’s Office of Police Accountability is opening an investigation into photos that circulated on social media over the weekend of Seattle Police Department vehicles adorned with Gadsden flags.
On Sunday night, KTTH’s Jason Rantz Show posted three photos of SPD vehicles with the Gadsden flag draped across their sides, reportedly in protest of the recently implemented COVID vaccine mandate for city employees.
SPD reported on Twitter the next day that it had forwarded those photos to the OPA for an investigation. It also sent along claims on social media that SPD officers had been “honking and giving thumps up” in support of a protest against the vaccine mandate that took place in front of City Hall on Monday.
SPD’s employee conduct policy states that officers cannot use City facilities for “political purposes,” or use “their City position to endorse or oppose a candidate or ballot issue.”
The Gadsden flag’s history dates back to before the Revolutionary War, with the first iteration rumored to have been drawn by Benjamin Franklin in 1754. It first appeared as a drawing of a segmented snake, where each piece represented an American colony. In that original version, it read “Join, or Die.”

I had interpreted the headline as referring to a real dog - now that would be some investigation!
LOL! I didn’t of that but you’re right.
How terrible, using a flag from the revolutionary war. Who would do such a terrible thing?
Tyrants fear those who love freedom!
Will they be investigating how cool this is? lol.
if the police cars were set on fire by rampaging mobs, there would be NO INVESTIGATION!
Only outlaws......
What....wait....?
??? What’s “political” about resisting a shot? Isn’t this supposed to be about your health. Hmmm...politics?
Who’s going after criminals in Seattle if they are so tied up in checking on Gadsden flags? I’ll ask the families of those murder victims in the city morgue if this is a major concern.
“My body, my choice?” Oh, wait, that only applies to abortion. Every other decision the State dictates. And don’t give them no Revolutionary War guff, Rebel scum!
Using the vax as a means of purging all uncooperative people in all positions of employment.. They need zombies not free thinkers
Very good, take more police off the streets so the violent radical left feels even safer rampaging.
