Thin blue line

But everyone here ask yourselves a question:  Does the Blue Line flag symbolize everything good about this country, AND recognize the fallen who have died on the line for us?

To me, the flag means that either the owner is LEO or retired LEO.  Or someone is trying to get out of a ticket.  I am not a cop, so I would not fly it.

What I would fly?  Old Glory, a USCG flag, and maybe a Don't Tread on Me flag.

I agree with that, it doesn't have to be an "official" red/white/blue stars and stripes to have the symbolism and to be treated with dignity.

 because that's why i fly it alongside the stars n stripes. i don't fly it 'cause i think it's pretty, but for a reason. so i guess it needs to be retired properly.

100% good choice!

So, what's your opinion of what's flying in this picture?

How about these?  Will the Boy scouts or American Legion burn these too?

I don't know how Murphy would feel about that.  The colors would seem to suggest its "inclusiveness".

He or she supports LEO, the Constitution and the armed forces.  And he doesn't want a ticket.

Firefighters and cops are great, but there's no reason to deface the US Flag (or create a faux flag) to honor them. 

Just flag companies want to sell more flags...

I've had many leo's stop by the shop thanking me for displaying this flag. 

 

 I don't need it to get outta any tickets, nor was I ever leo…….I feel it shows them respect, and that someone out there's got their backs. I started flying them around the time that those cops got ambushed in dallas.

Correct... one point for you!

How would flying a flag on your house, get you out of a ticket while driving in your car? Can the cop see your house from 25 miles away when he pulls you over?

I just took your point away....

BTW, that picture I posted is MY house. If you don't like my flag display, look closer in that picture at the front door. My killer is trained to rip out your throat if you don't like the flags...

I was going to fly the Red, White and Blue like this picture below, but wifey had a issue with it:

 

So, I fly the ones you see in my first picture instead. She asked me why I fly the "redneck flag" (the yellow one), once I educated her on the Gadsden Flag, she now gets it.

[Handyman 5,682]

Aw shucks, let's just make a million different flags with a cool off color stripe in the middle. We can have one honoring teachers, lawyers, doctors, librarians, butchers, bakers and Indian chiefs.

checked with the boyscout troop down the street. they do the retirement once a month. they do the blue line flags too.

If it's not a US flag, what flag is it then?

Is it the flag of Russia? Nooooo

Is it the flag of Peru? noooooooo.

Is it a black panther flag? noooooo

Is it a Nazi flag? nooooooo...

You agree that it is, in fact, a flag, but not a US flag.  Since you are the apparent SME here, what flag is it then?  Are our troops wearing a flag that does not represent the USA?  OMG, I'm going to write a letter to the DoD post haste and give them what for.

That flag patch is not worn by all "US troops".  I have only seen the flag patch on Army troops, never on a Marine uniform.  The Navy allows the "Don't Tread On Me" patch, should that be treated as a US flag?  It is just a patch.

So the Boy Scouts consider the Blue Line flag should be treated with dignity and retired correctly... Here's my reaction:

[remixer 1,645]

I'm not sure what organization you guys are referring to when you mention Boy Scouts.

I was under the impression they took boy out of scouts.

[remixer 1,645]

We do have an Official Flag. Specifications are listed below.
4 USC Code Section 1

4 U.S.C.
United States Code, 2011 Edition
Title 4 - FLAG AND SEAL, SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE STATES
CHAPTER 1 - THE FLAG
From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov

Section 1. Flag; stripes and stars on

The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.

48 states?? Which two states did we lose? 

Also, didn't Obama, while campaigning, say we had 57 states that he traveled to with one left to go?

I think Obama was referring to the Pillars of Islam.

48 States LOL.      I did not even notice that

Well the code is old so i'm sure its referring to how many states when it was written...

OORRRRRR

We dumped Ca and HI

which is fine

The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.

It was Written in 1947.. But the color specs still stand.

Ha Ha

If you go check out your link where you pulled that from, the date on the top of the page is 2011 Edition, and a amendment was made in 1998. Did we only have 48 states in 1998? Or, are the people working for the government writing this stuff really confused?

I think a few more than that need to go...

He obviously slipped.  The other 7 states are "deep states".

Notice he says at the end he wanted to go to Alaska and Hawaii but "... was not allowed because his staff couldn't justify it".  That's because Alaska has voted only once for a Democrat and Hawaii was already in the bag.

Uggg. One of the principal problems with society is that everyone demands recognition for doing anything, even their job. It's participation trophy.

Again, cops and firefighters are great. They work hard a little bit of the time, do little most of the time, get a decent salary and great benefits and pensions. Now they need a flag, too?

Just wondering... my pup wears a Blue Line flag patch on his harness and collar, out of respect for Police K9's lost in the line of duty.

Does this patch on the picture below make him a Lib too?

I dunno. Mostly they lay around expecting someone else to provide for all of their daily needs.  

I’ll never be bitten by one, they believe it’s the job of a government dog to run around and do the barking and provide protection to people and property.
