Perhaps since I am not American I might see things a little differently, but expressing opinions and ideals whether through a flag or an action is quite patriotic in my eyes. If I am not mistaken, this is covered in the 1st Amendment of the US constitution, to add on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_the_United_States). The ability to express beliefs whether it is "Black Lives Matter", "All Lives Matters", or "Blue Lives Matter" is, or at least I thought, a fundamental concept of the United States of America. Did the founding fathers not have a revolution to express their ideals, even though the British weren't interested in hearing it?
Thank you.

There are rougly 325 million citizens in the United States.
And each year there are roughly, a million plus crimes committed each year by offenders.
And it's unjust, that any crime gets committed to begin with.

This is the theme of the forum:
"The "Thin Blue Line" flag is and unpatriotic"
https://www.thebalancecareers.com/what-is-the-thin-blue-line-974603
The thin blue line, refers to this:
"For some civilians, it connotes a show of support for the police, acknowledging the role these individuals dedicate themselves to in society. It represents the solidarity and brotherhood that police officers share as fellow professionals for others."
So what do you find irrelevant about the below?
And there are roughly 900,000 police officers in the United States.
There are rougly 325 million citizens in the United States.
And each year there are roughly, a million plus crimes committed each year by offenders.
And it's unjust, that any crime gets committed to begin with.
And it's unjust that any of the 325 million citizens in the United States, should have to live with and put up with any crimes being committed against them.

"The debate is is about why the flag is and if cops are untrustworthy. Not crime statistics."
Neither flag is .
Both have had blood shed for them.
The crime statistics exist, because of the innocent blood being shed, a million times over again and again each year, which is unjust, regardless of how some view either flag.
And I salute both flags, because both flags deserve to be treated with respect.
And police officers are trustworthy.
I trust them more, than I would a recreational weed user, smoking weed in a grocery store, or mall parking lot, and then illegally driving while high on weed, after leaving either parking lot.
