What does this flag mean?

I can't get a picture of it because there's nowhere to stop, so I'll have to describe it.

It looks sort of like an American flag but isn't, and I'm assuming it's somme kind of right-wing thing.
The field is black, with the usual number of white stars. The stripes are blue and white, EXCEPT that right in the middle there is a broad black stripe.
It kind of gives me the creeps in the way the American flag with a partial Confederare flag that a neighbor flies doesn't. Can anyone explain it?

5. Pro cop except on January 6th. Then it means, "Drag cops down stone steps and let their heads bounce."

2. If the center stripe was dark blue then its a "thin blue line" flag.

are these flag decals not common in Virginia? In SW Florida I doubt that I have driven five miles in the last ten years without seeing this decal on a vehicle. I have only seen the actual flag on trucks flying flags, but the decals are quite common and becoming more so. They are common in the Panhandle of Texas as well.

I"ve seen plenty of Confederate flags in various configurations, but never this one. The weirdest thing I've ever seen was a pickup truck flying both a Confederate and a Mexican flag. Now THAT made me wonder.

It may not be easy.

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
They'll be watching you
