Many different ways to look at it , I personally don’t have any issue , if its the true American flag . What I do have a big issue with is the ” blue line ” flag . That to me is like a gang sign , saying ” us vs. them ” mentality . Negative , and unproductive to a free state . They are not supposed to be on the side against the citizen . It kind of implies that to many . As far as the true American flag ” hurting feelings ” of immigrants . They can go suck an egg , if they don’t like it , this is where they chose to live . They can go back to whatever stink hole they came from , love it , or leave it . This goes for Americans that move to another nation , that is now YOUR flag Bub .

I don’t have a problem with it. Must be the people that like the sanctuary cities that do. If you don’t like the US, go some place else. If immigrants want to be Americans that’s one thing but if you want to wave the Honduran flag, GO HOME. It offends me that they climb on the wall and sit on it.

I thought the cars looked kinda neat.
As for the negative reactions, meh, I just roll my eyes. Some people need something to complain about.

I see no problems with the design. I like the bright colors better than the muted version which you cannot identify right away. The muted one looks as if the cars are just dirty.
I am a very “pro” flag person. Pro in the sense that it must be displayed properly. Those letters do not constitute a flag. The colors are merely a design that implies the flag. it is certainly not aggressive – a gun would be that. It is also, to me, not “threatening, intimidating, harassing or a symbol of racism.” I would expect to see the local flags displayed wherever I travel.
I do take exception to people changing the flag, as in what Tolik implies, the “police” flag. I saw a picture of an American flag yesterday, that was all blue and white. Imposed on the flag was a picture of our current president. To me, that is no longer our American flag. It is just a symbol of the person on it. You can see stars and stripes, which implies our country, but no one person is our country. That is the reason for the 50 and 13 – to represent us all.
Go ahead, make signs and posters. Do not desecrate our flag.

<p>I fly a Thin Blue Line flag, right under my American flag. To honor those who gave their lives protecting those who couldn’t protect themselves, including a great uncle.</p><p>My neighbor flies a Thin Red Line flag, to honor his fallen others and sisters. Including several firefighters killed just a handful of years ago here.</p><p>Don’t like them? You don’t have to. But understand that to some people, those flags mean sacrifice and service, brotherhood.</p>

Laguna Beach Keeping Patriotic Patrol Cars After Debate

The irony is that Laguna Beach is mainly occupied by Very Rich People. I don’t think they really care what kind of artwork the cop wagons are sporting…or not. They’re above all that.
The Real Tax Payers of Laguna Beach only care about results. If the cops don”t let their houses get burgled, or let “outsiders” park in their driveways, they be happy.

We are witnessing the fall and demise of our nation!
Liberal indoctrination in public schools is starting to pay dividends for the far leftists. Their constant bashing of our nation, its history is pretty much going unchallenged. I fight any “diversity and inclusion” issues locally because I do not care for ones “identity” and other discriminatory and racist nonsense. The “n-word” is just as racist as saying “white nationalist” or “white supremacist” and the like. The flag is now viewed in the same manner.
With the new anti-American members of Congress on the democratic side like AOC, Omar and a few others, this is the new liberal indoctrinated far left that is hijacking our nation. Main street and rural America really do not get bothered by them and their fake rhetoric and nonsense but digital media loves them. And that is the media of the young and newly indoctrinated “morons” out there that believe anything they spew at face value without critical thinking and questions. They worship these haters of our nation like God’s.
Either get used to it and accept their new view of our nation or stand up to them by being involved in local affairs, attending town halls with your local elected officials to raise your concerns and write letters often to them. Keep them informed of what is going on and let them know that normal folks like ourselves, true Patriots, do not agree with this agenda and nonsense. The more we remain silent, the more they will take over and hijack our nation!
