A decision to affix an American flag graphic to the side of freshly painted Laguna Beach police cars is dividing residents, who are alternately praising the image as patriotic or panning it as too aggressive...
...People are screaming that the American flag on a police car is somehow or another ... hurting peoples feelings who might be immigrants or visitors, said Councilman Peter Blake. People are actually ridiculous enough to bring up comments about our cop cars having American flags on them....
...But the graphic element of the paint job didn't scream Laguna Beach to everyone. Local designer Chris Prelitz was dining with his wife at the Montage hotel when he spotted several parents and small children scattering.
There was like a little panic going on, and I was like, Whats happening? Prelitz said. ...

I don’t care what’s on a police car as long as the car is not on me.
Like it was last week on the Belt pkwy.
i can’t see why this would offend anyone.
Using the current level of offending people....you’d only need to buy and lick off a cone of vanilla ice cream, with that triggering folks to get all offended and disturbed.
LOL
Ah, if you got chocolate they’d say you were mimicking lynching.
the article says some residents were offended by this and it looks like an all-white neighbourhood. As usual you have lily-white snowflakes making a scene.
Tourists would probably be reassured that the country’s flag is on the cars - it gives a sense that it is official and not corrupt or fake cops
We all know it is the butt hurt snowflake left coast liberals who are feeling offended and want to scream they are the victim.
Make the signs BIGGER next time, hehehehe.
So, legal visitors and immigrants and illegal aliens, fear or hate the US flag? Then why are they here except to invade and overthrow us?
We should put an American flag on everything to identify and weed out snowflakes, illegals, and American haters.
Exactly.....if you’re a visitor you should thank the USA for our hospitality and if you’re an immigrant....uh, you’re welcome.
As a way out of towner (Australia) if I had the opportunity to visit the USA and didnt see the flag everywhere I would be disappointed!
Wonder if a hammer & sickle on the fuzz cars would raise any hackles
Yeah, MINE!
Given the direction of the democrat party you might get to see your hackles raised.
It is called assimilation and something that is not happening, so we need to shut down the asylum and border invasion until we clarify to the world that America is not going to become a handout for the world!
I have a remedy, SEND IN MORE ILLEGALS! and keep sending them until we drown their voices out
I wonder what would happen if they saw the Comal County (TX) Sheriff’s Department cars not only with an American flag, but ‘In God we trust’ written on them.
Haha! Yes, flags everywhere. It’s like kryptonite!
