These people are saying, flat out, this flag represents oppression of blacks.

This means that they are saying that only black people commit crimes.

That’s the racism of the left. I have no clue why anyone votes for this nonsense.

ALL the comments at the source currently express outrage.

Rats don't know what to say yet.

Being from CT I can say that “But” is the state motto.

Even among the conservatives there. That’s why I left. They are completely leftist. Even while claiming to be conservatives.

All of this because they love that word so much.

Will the Dems suffer in the next election for this outrage? Hell no.

Not being one to run afoul of the law, I always have had the feeling when working up in Connecticut and Rhode Island that the police up there seemed a little bit stricter than what I was used to it. However I did live in Fairfax County Virginia and they were a little bit on the strict side as well.

Understanding what they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis I can’t really blame them. But they do and should stand up to this inconsistency of thought among the legislators in that state. They want police protection but they don’t like the police. That HAS to change... considering the alternative.

There is a small USA flag on my red Trump hat. I am thinking of finding a way to change that flag (colored permanent markers) or add a separate “thin blue line” flag to the hat. I am retired and served as an LEO for 30 years.

As for insulting BLM loons, I couldn’t care less.

Police need to make the same choice.

And quit shooting dogs while they are at it.

And media also reports Ned Lamont just needs more time to get used to the ins and outs of budgeting before he can start budgeting ... SO glad I'm out of there!

When no knock raids outside of hostage situations end, I will lambaste the socialists on this.

Respect has to be deserved.

Nonsense. We need protection out here

If nothing else we are candidates for property crimes. And our kids are targets for rape and mayhem

We pay the bulk of their costs, so put them to work for the people who support them, financially and otherwise

Dems favor blacks killing cops. That’s obvious.

A “thin blue line” flag meant to honor law enforcement was removed from the Connecticut State Capitol this week after Democrats complained it might offend Black Lives Matter supporters.

I am convinced that the left seriously wants to start a shooting Civil War. There can be no other reason for this sort of abject foolishness. They must hope that their hold on political power will survive and even be strengthened.

Connecticut is the California of the east. The “Nutball” state

There are likely small pins you could add of the thin blue line flag.

When you see the word “but”, ignore everything before it.

“When you see the word “but”, ignore everything before it.”

Actually I don’t agree with that sentiment whatsoever. But I used it here since the NEW RULES are we’re using THEIR RULES now.

It’s gonna be great.
