      That is a variation. That isn’t the standard thin blue line flag . That also isn’t desecrating a flag.

      That is a flag built for a purpose.

      Maybe you’re not aware but the American flag isn’t black and white. It’s red, white and blue.

        Idk, this is the one that’s flying at my local police dept… maybe there are more but I haven’t seen them tbh

        Have you read the flag code? This part is interesting:

        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.

        One could argue that filtering to black and white is in itself a violation of the code lol

        Personally I don’t care and you can wipe your ass with a flag if you want. It’s conservatives who I thought were all about respecting flags. Then yall go and grayscale it and add a random line? Ugh

          The venn diagram of “people who give a fuck about flag code enough to recite it” and “jerkoff leftists who proclaim to not care” is a flat circle

          One could argue incorrectly a lot of things

          They are Compliant with the flag code. That isn’t the American flag. It would have to be an American flag then you add those things.

          I prefer the solid black with a blue line. That’s what I have in front of my house.

              Nah I’m proud of law enforcement. I like them to know we are on the same side.

                  I never said otherwise, but knowing where you have a safe house is always good.

                  They know they can stop to talk, use the restroom, eat their lunch, or do anything else they need to do.

                    I’m gonna hang one of those up then refuse them service when they try and enter lol

                    If that’s really what cops think of the blue flag, I’m about to use it against them 😂
