RogBMontgomery County MD Executive bans police station from displaying thin blue line flag
https://www.foxnews.com/us/mar...-thin-blue-line-flagMaryland’s governor on Sunday sharply criticized Montgomery County's top elected official for banning a police station from displaying a wooden “thin blue line” flag that was a gift last week from a local resident.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich called the flag “divisive” over the weekend and said it was not going to be put on display at the Fifth District police station, overruling officers who accepted the gift and said that it would be displayed.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, said in a series of tweets that he was “offended and disgusted” Elrich had arbitrarily prohibited officers from displaying the flag that was made for them by a father and his young son in honor of National First Responders Day.
"I have attended the funerals of fallen law enforcement officers across our state, and I take time to thank them every day for their dedicated service and sacrifice," he said.

That's good to hear. Hogan has previously been sort of a RINO.

Yes but he's always been supportive of law enforcement.

CPD SIGI wonder who Elrich is pandering to.
True, he's a punk, but he's also doing this for a reason.

stickman428Stop banning shit man. It’s not cool. I wish there was a law that for every thing that got banned 175 other things had to be legalized/ unbanned. Maybe then these wannabe fascist thugs would start to REALLY THINK about the shit they want to ban and the consequences of such actions as well as if it’s worth it.

Yep. The Super's and management staff need to put it up in the lobby while giving Elrich the finger.

fpuhanA local (to D.C.) radio station today called for a recall election against Elrich. The on-air guy was about to have an aneurism, he was so excised.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
