I don't get the significance of that flag, but I see it everywhere. Even in Australia ffs

It's a "Thin Blue Line" sticker that people with extremely conservative politics use to "show their support" for cops (unless those cops are trying to protect the Capitol building). It's a sign that they are certainly racist jackasses.

You did not have to insult jackasses. Not all jackasses use this flag.

It’s for police bootlickers, “the thin blue line that protec all humanity frum evil!”

When in reality it’s the thin blue line that just as often abuses power and murders innocents and breaks the law and violates civil rights of anyone who doesn’t “RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH”

Sir not everybody acts like that you can't abstract actions on the news which are intentionally blown up to the actions of many police officers you can't just say that one police officer is bad because you saw a bunch of bad police officers on the news and there are by sheer statistics good police officers and they deserve credit and support and stuff
