In July 2019, the "Thin Blue Line" American Flag was put up by residents of York, Maine, as a way to pay tribute to a local police officer who was shot and killed in the line of duty decades ago. Due to locals being concerned that the flag was being used as a symbol of white supremacy, the flag was subsequently taken down
The flag is apparently a symbol of divisiveness and submissiveness,
but ................... the one on my jacket has all 3 - so i can offend eneryone

I don't really care what it is meant to represent or not, maybe it is meant to be a good thing, but it is still a violation of our flag code.
(g) 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.
Our flag is fine as it is and if you're going to salute a flag or use one properly, then let it be the one millions have died for. The ONLY modification I am ok with is the low visibility muted green for spec ops, because that can save lives.
