    The blue line flag used to be to honor the police force. It’s being used now to support police’s racist decisions. Fucking extreme republicans hijacked the blue line flag, then slapped it on the American flag. This was before they became MAGA republicans somehow hijacked the American flag. No hate on sane republicans, though. You’re cool!

      You shouldn’t honor the police though their role in society is intrinsically harmful and they should be abolished. Also there are no sane republicans the ones you claim are sane still want to murder others to spread american imperialism, to kill the poor and to oppress minorities even if they are more “polite” about it.

        Yikes. I am completely democratic, but there are some republicans who can think straight and aren’t MAGA racists. And while most cops are probably racist, and the entire system was built on slave catching grounds, there are still the occasional no-hate police officers. While it is still better safe than sorry, you can’t assume the worst of every policeman and Republican.

          Even the no hate police are bastards on the grounds that they willingly participate in the oppression of others/don’t stand against oppression.

      Republicans have always been racist, they were just a bit quieter.

      Also ACAB. The role of police in society is subjugation of the poor (especially in a racist way too) and the maintainance of capitalism and hierarchy.
