16. Tell Him That Flag...

..Represents the 'Thin Blue Line' that keeps honest and honorable LEOs from speaking out of offenses that the 'Bad Apples' commit. Let him know that not reporting abuses that those officers commit taint all LEOs and that is why movements like BLM have propagated and will continue to grow.

Lastly ask him if he's seen or know of any of his fellow officers who have lied in court or on official reports. If he says that he isn't aware of any then he must be blind to the reality of human nature to persevere their income and position in society.

It won't work, IMO, but it may make him think.
