WAUSAU, Wis. – An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it — an Iraq war veteran — claims the officers trespassed and stole his property.

"It is not often that you see something this blatant," Ahmuty said.

Not sure how to respond but if the flag was at his place upside down and there was no distress, couldn’t it be like placing a false 911 call??
No distress?!
Thinking at the site where the flag is .... just saying ....
