t
he “thin blue Line” flag — a symbol of public support for police — has been banned from public areas within the Los Angeles Police Department after a complaint about the flag being displayed at a local police station.
The banner, a frequent target of progressives, had been displayed over the front desk of the Rampart Station when someone in the community complained about its presence, according to Fox News.
LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the outlet last week: “Yesterday, we received a community complaint of the presence of a Blue Line Flag” with “the view that it symbolized support for violent extremist views, such as those represented by the Proud Boys and others.”
Moore said he then “directed to have the item taken down from the public lobby,” and suggested that the flag be replaced with either a U.S. flag or memorials for fallen officers.
The “thin blue line” flag, Moore told Fox, has become a “divisive” symbol that represents extremist views to some people.
