Cincinnati sheriff deputies replace American flag at the Justice Center with pro-police...

[Soph0571]

...‘thin-blue-line’ flag

Cincinnati police were filmed replacing the American flag that hangs over the Justice Center in Ohio’s third-largest city. They then replaced it with the thin-blue-line flag, that was created to advocate for law-enforcement during Black Lives Matter Protests.

During the Charlottesville, Virginia riots, right-wing and white supremacist activists carried the thin-blue-line flag along with the Confederate flag to speak out against Black Lives Matter.

While the flag may have been created in support of law enforcement, it has been adopted by white supremacists and taken on a darker meaning.

Emphasis mine

Whatever bollocks excuse they came out with - this was an explicit white supremacist and racist call to arms directed directly at POC. Everywhere you look at the moment there are bloody nazi's and across America, at this time of crisis, for every good cop trying to do the right thing there are twenty of Trumps brown shirt equivalent trying to reign terror down on the nation. America is at a cross roads and these fuckers cannot be allowed to win. Blatant, disrespectful and done to wind up the citizenry to give them an excuse to beat down the citizenry... stupid nazi's could not be more transparent. Cause they are stupid and nazi's.
