I’ll always agree with not desecrating the American flag like the this blue line flag does.
I think it’s akin to a police gang symbol. Protect each other tyrannical behavior at all costs.
It's funny, because you know those people who wear shirts like "I dare you to disrespect this flag in front of me". Usually worn by an overweight man and decorated with cowboy skeletons waving U.S flags? I'm waiting for that guy to stand behind an army of cops all lined up for their free Chipolte. You have lawless criminals speeding down ever street in the country, waving desecrated U.S flags, blatantly violating every single right afforded by the Constitution of the U.S, are in complete control of every MSM channel of the country and all who do their bidding, demand more financial backing than any other country in the world but complain it's not enough. If you're not noticing yet that this is the domestic army your forefathers warned you about, you're a lost cause. And your country might be too.
I Agree
@@dishonoredundead The fact that that Blue Line Crew operates "UNDER COLOR OR LAW " should tell every american and anyone else in and out of this country what system of government is in place in this country. Thousands of us around the world have been pointing it out and exposing this for over 40 years. The truth gets scrubbed, our web sites get shut down for dozens of made up reasons. The social media sites shadow ban our stories and comments and that alone is proof of the joint efforts of government and corporations working together, hand in hand to block the truth from reaching the masses. The officers that put anything on their cars or uniforms that ties them to a corrupted system is great in our eye's because it proves beyond any doubt that there are not good cops and bad cop's and that we have been betrayed by what is now a belligerent, armed and militarized force that is against the people in this country. I never was able to do what that force has done to itself by exposing itself for who and what it really has been all along. I say let they keep their self destruction symbol so we can pray for those who don't and won't turn on the people.
It's technically considered desecration of the flag in some circles, Racist, divisive or otherwise.
I agree, and I’m white.
I'm not totally disagreeing, but the American flag is red, white, and blue. I could see if someone tried to use the blue line flag to replace the American flag, then it would be desecration, but I don't consider the blue line flag, any kind of replacement for the American flag.
@@AFloridaSon It's more to do with essentially using the Stars and Stripes imagery, personally I'm indifferent, and even as Ex Military, I'm no fan of the "Thin Green Line" either
And it's all bs I know!
@@ott1887 I was in the NY Army national guard, I agree with your statement
Anyone see the hypocrisy?
Law enforcement can make a statement of being victimized by their community with crime but a football player can't protest police brutality in the communities.
Both are making statements thru their employer platform. Why do law enforcement get a pass
Interesting point! While I don’t like what NFL players are doing, the police shouldn’t be able modify the flag to express their point of view either.
Thin blue line flags are disrespectful of the real flag.
Absolutely. What American can disagree with that? Amazing
I agree 100%
Our taxes pay their salary. Is that enough support? Technically ad our taxes pay for their livelihood, it could and should be said that they are to SERVE US DIRECTLY. so.... what more do you want to do the job you signed up for ?
Your badge is the only symbol of brotherhood for police officers.
About time they ban that desecration! You can’t change the flag like that ever!
Your kind burns the American flag on a daily basis so, what's your point?
About time
People that want to ban everything do not deserve to live in a society that benefits from freedom of thought and freedom of speech.
Would you ban the Taliban in this country of free speech and thought? Why or why not? Does the Taliban represent restricted freedoms and oppression? Does the Nazi party and KKK represent restricted freedoms and oppression? Funny how “freedom of speech and thought” means different things to different people.
This is not a ban.
@@u.synlig “Banning display” is a ban unless George Orwell’s bureau of speech regulation says otherwise.
@@mitchrc3 Time and place. Not absolute. Not ‘blanket’. No threat to “freedom of thought and freedom of speech”. Personal use and display, on personal time and at privately-owned locations, is not banned.
Policing is only becoming more difficult because everyone now sees what they really do. The smart phones were a game changer. No more hiding things from the public. If cops want respect they need to earn it.
What was it like riding the short bus as a child?
It was nice, i rode next to all the C- students (cops) and a semi good looking midget (your mom) .
@@checo8187 That’s about the level of response I expected.
Better luck next time? 🤷🏼♂️
@@MattPerrette87 just to make a point in your commentary your willing to stoop so low as to disparage children with disabilities who ride small buses. All the while I bet you think you're a big man.
@@MattPerrette87 you're absolutely correct. If you are a tyrant and enjoy intimidating people, the blue line gang need you.
ridiculous.
You do not change the colors of our flag. It is disrespectful. Red, white, and blue. End of.
I always thought it was a sign of protest of “how this country has gone downhill”. Well if one thinks that way and refuses to contribute to anything positive - why not try moving out of the country, to a place they’d feel more at home with; say, communist China? These people are the same people that would have sided with the Nazis in Germany if they were given the opportunity.
But your liberal friends set the real flag on fire every time they protest so?
The "LINE" is an acronym for a close-quarters combat system utilized by the United States military.
Officially, the "LINE" name stands for "Linear Infighting Neural-override Engagement".
According to US military training "the LINE system was designed to be executed within specific and stringent combat-oriented conditions":
(a.) Where techniques executed effectively in visibly impaired conditions (i.e., smoke or gas)
(b.) extreme mental and physical fatigue
(c.) usable by the soldier while wearing full combat gear
(d.) proper execution of the techniques must cause death to the opponent
(e.) gender neutrality; must be usable by-and against-either gender.
A shocking endorsement to a blue-LINE culture of excessive force in an emerging police state that focuses on military enhancements as hegemonic policy.
Todays police are apt to dress and act indiscernible from occupying combat soldiers who impose martial law and suspend habeas corpus.
Took them this long to recognize this. That flag has been thrown up in people's faces just like the confederate flag in the jim crow era
Didn't they get busted having tattoos on cop gang signs?
That was the L.A. Sheriff's Department, but yeah, they're all the same.
It's not a fly anymore it's a Jolly Rodger
Fallen officers can have a flag but it needs to be changed from the thin blue line flag. In fact it should be a patch that only officers can display. To many racists salute the thin blue line flag.
On the matters of flags. No flag other than U.S.,
State and or city should fly on any taxpayer
funded property. No other flags, PERIOD !
If that flag is gone that rainbow flag should be gone too
The Rainbow flag doesn't project an image of Stars and Stripes, it's considered desecration, if it were say a black flag, with a thin blue line, no problem.
It doesn't at all resemble the American flag. It stands on its own. It's not an altered version. Of the American flag. Nice try smart fella
Says the bigot...💩
@@ott1887 when that freak flag gets thrown in normal thinking American citizens faces it's a problem
The rainbow flag is Satan's flag. It's completely different.
I give up on society at this point. The police chief needs to go
Typical racist getting their panties in a wad over their f*cking flag of hate. It's hilarious how fragile minded ídiots get their panties in a wad over this f*cking hateful cloth that they get off on 😂
I give up on America because it's a failed government that enables corruption and criminals with their passivity to enforce the rules of law without fear or favor, especially within the government. America is over but they don't want to admit it. The TRAITORS won.
You moronic fool
Removing this racist terrorist flag is a great idea but those gang member thugs tat display need to continue to display their racist terrorist flag. We need to know the gangsters and who they are.
It’s a police state symbol and it defaces the American flag
We shouldnt have to go any further than the fact our taxes pay their livelihood. They serve us. Anything beyond tax revenue paying for their salaries is ass kissing, attempts at favoritism.
If you're complaining about paying for a flag.. boy do you have a rude awakening how state and federal finances are spent. Try being more partisan on an issue.
Thank God I left California for Texas
Eliminate public sector unions which are inherently unconstitutional.
Policing is also difficult because of bad apples and other officers who stand by who won’t say or do anything.
Policing is difficult because all of the POS criminals and victimizers who continue to victimize on their 5th, 6th and 7th chances. Some forget who the bad guys really are or they lose track of that because of their political ideology.
@mitchrc3 yes I agree with you but what about bad cops in addition to the criminals. Again I don't disagree with you but will you acknowledge there are bad cops out there who deserved to be held accountable???
@@jbundles6257 There is one bad cop per 1000 criminals.
@mitchrc3 nope that's not true....you're being biased
@@jbundles6257 The criminal element relies on people like you for political cover.
Why do cops need the need feeling of being special??
Aren’t they getting paid????
Does violating a citizens constitutional rights help their morale
I'm not sure what to think about how they are playing the tragic victims with all of the enormous power and leverage over the average person.
Holy shit you're delusional. This generation is fucked. There definitely isn't any other reason a police officer (anywhere in the world) would do this. I can't wait for them to come for people in the military again.
@@cefb8923 Holy shit you're fuct.
Is this the answer in Los Angeles, though? Removing a controversial flag? Yikes. If -you ban assault weapons, but this shooter appears to have carried an ordinary gun.( Is it the anger... this male shooter had towards several people in his neighborhood ? ) Was that anger what led to his violent actions of killing several people on the Lunar New Year? 🤷♂️. Heartbreaking otherwise. More guns than people in America right now. (Look at New Mexico as well ..where an angry guy shot up houses owned by political leaders in Albuquerque! ). Did that work? I guess so. Anger is the way things are going. Sadly true in LA and several other places..as well.😇..❄️..⭐️..☕️
Chief Moore is horrible example of a leader. Won't stand up for the officers. For all that they go thru from day to day, you won't let them have a morale flag. Youre a sad case
Terrorist flag
I think it's stupid! The flag represents keeping people safe!
No, it doesn't.
@@long-time-first-time yes it does. The radical left are the ones who tied the bs to it.
Anybody notice how there isn’t a single branch of the armed forces doing what the police are to the American flag?
Good deal. It definitely is an abomination of our Flag. Just design a police flag. One that doesn't alter our flag.
