Every time I see this flag

[SHRED]

I think two thoughts.

1. The person flying it must be a racist asshole who has no problem with law enforcement murdering people of color.

2. It's a helluva U.S. Flag Code violation for these assholes who claim to have cornered "patriotism" as if it's there's alone.

Am I way off base here?

1. So are they saying that the police should be in control of the country?

I've not seen this flag before, and I had to look up its meaning.

2. I'm not a fan of it...

I respect Police officers as much as anybody, but the "Blue Lives Matter" movement as a counter to Black Lives Matter was underhanded and petty, IMNSHO.

I never responded to that on facebook. I basically ignored it.

3. Not one bit...

I think you're spot on and have the same reaction.

Those fuckers sporting that flag are using it to create distraction/noise to dampen legit concerns of many persons of color that for the police, it's more or less open season on black people without any consequences.

This comment excepts those persons in law enforcement that are honorable and not racist fucks that are former highschool football player bully types.

4. I associate it with white supremacism

So no, you're not off-base.

9. We usually see this flag as well as

an Confederate,or 3% militia flag stuck in the stake pockets of Pickup trucks here in Vegas. Yesterday it was the Blue Barred one with a flag with a AK on it.

5. I've seen that flag and wondered about it

Is it supposed to mean "blue lives matter"?

[Wounded Bear]

6. Yes, that's the derivation...

was the nazis counter to Black Lives Matter.

7. I wonder how they would feel if somone showed up at a funeral for a cop killed in the line

and started shouting "ALL LIVES MATTER!"

Wouldn't feel so good, would it?

That how I imagine people of color feel when they see this flag.

8. Basically I see it as someone showing the world they are gullible

We all know the source of it. People who fly it are basically saying - Yes I will follow whatever the voices tell me to.

[Fozzledick]

10. I think of it as the "Anti-American Flag" with its true colors blacked out

to say "Black Lives Don't Matter" and a thin blue line to keep out all the scary Black people.

11. I have one of these flags and have flown it before

for some of my friends are cops, and one was killed in the line of duty. That's when I got it...to show support for Sean.

I also have blue lights for my porch in solidarity with him. He was "suicided" the day before he was set to testify against the crooked BPD task force.

I'll fly it again whenever it's time to show support for him, and don't give a flying rat's ass what anybody thinks of it.

Just my two cents.

[SHRED]

13. I appreciate your point of view

[Baltimike]

15. Thank you. Not for nothing, but Sean was a black guy. nt

[Baltimike]

16. Honestly, this is the first time I saw that there was a problem with it, and I guess

I understand how it could go that way.

It goes out for Sean alone from now on. His suit is ongoing, and his family is really suffering.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Not at all.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. It's also ugly as fuck.
