Chief removed Bellingham Police Department sign with 'thin blue line' image

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Bellingham Police Chief David Doll removed a sign from outside the Police Department headquarters on Sunday, May 31, because it contained an image of the “thin blue line” intended to symbolize police fraternity and community sacrifice.

But that image has been used by some racist and white supremacist organizations, and Doll told The Bellingham Herald that he recognizes the “thin blue line” has become a controversial and divisive issue outside law enforcement.

“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Doll said in an interview as he attended the Black Lives Matter rally dressed in civilian clothes on Saturday, June 6, at Maritime Heritage Park.

Doll said he explained his actions to Police Department command staff and rank-and-file officers last week.

1. There are good cops.

Might have to look long and hard but, they do exist.
And, we should do everything in our power to support them.

4. That is closer to the truth.

We get the majority of police are probably trying to do the right thing, but there are too many racists in the police industry to function as a source for community safety. Need to purge the bad apples before they ruin the community trust.
