Police chief bans 'Thin Blue Line' imagery, says it's been 'co-opted' by extremists
Chief Kristen Roman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison said "hateful ideologies" run counter to the department's core values.
"The "Thin Blue Line" flag, which resembles an American flag but has a blue stripe, is a sign of support for law enforcement but has also come to signal opposition to the racial justice movement and a symbol of white supremacy or support for the Blue Lives Matter cause."
I used to think it stood for something else.
But now I agree with her.
It has been taken over by racists.
