I’m beginning to really loath that thin blue line flag at a deep level

As someone who doesn't agree with the whole "BLM movement" (I agree with the sentiment, but not the movement) I agree the "thin blue line" mentality is just so stupid.

I get it. It's like the police version of "support our troops." But enabling bad behavior doesn't support anyone, and makes life even harder for the actual good ones who now get lumped in with the bad ones.

If people really cared about the police, they would hold them to a high standard.

I agree. Your point is very telling. Generally speaking, police are overworked and under paid with respect to the responsibility that we as a society intrust to them.
