Fire department members, Police or local town officials. Totally against all flag use codes yet done time and time again. When I think of my old friends, dead in Viet Nam, who never had such homage paid, yet see some local jerk politician honored with a flag at half mast it just burns me up.

I know this in off the topic of taking a knee for equal justice for blacks, but the reference to the flag code just sets me off.
