It is a symbol of the American government. "... and to the republic, for which it stands."
It does NOT have a blue line running through it. THAT is a descration.
They can pick some other symbol to show their beliefs, but they may not desecrate the American flag -- which is NOT a symbol of government employees in uniform.
You do not understand what our flag is and you must have not served to protect and defend it
You are making false and defamatory statements against me, without any knowledge whatsoever.
FUCK YOU.
The thin blue line, the thin red line, the black out uniform flag on the military uniforms are versions of our flag
No, they are not. They are desecrations of the American flag.
See Title 4 United States Code to see what the American flag looks like.
Whatever issues you have with police are your own.
And whatever bootlicking you want to do is your problem.

Nothing at all to do with "public service." So what? Everybody dies, in case you didn't know that.
Not all cops are good, but most of them are
Some are good, but most do NOT honor their oath of office, and I consider that a "bad cop."
Your personal story, no matter how heart-warming YOU might think it is, is irrelevant to the topic: The thin blue line flag IS a desecration of the American flag. Find a different symbol.
I can't help it if you have a false sense of patriotism. You obviously haven't served and are undoubtedly an armchair patriot. I served and still serve today. I have 29 years of DoD service. You don't have any idea what you are talking about. The flag is merely a symbol, it is not a sacred object to be worshipped. Your idea of a false and defamatory statement is an inferment by your lack of understanding and wisdom based upon your statement. The people that actually served understand what we served and why we served it. If you have served, you didn't learn anything by your service. The career folks have an obviously more mature understanding of what this country stands for and what is at stake in our service to the ideals of freedom and independence. Your opinion of variants of the flag to represent various groups is your own issue. You are apparently fixed on your opinion and have the right to do so, but your opinion is of no value to me. Good luck in life, you are going to need it.
If you display that desecrated flag in Washington, DC, you are a criminal, according to federal law:
Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any ... mark ... design, drawing ... upon any flag ... of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag ... or to which shall be annexed any ... mark ... design, or drawing ... shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both ...
-- 4 USC 3
But you really don't give a damn about the laws of the country you claim to support, do you?
You can't claim to be a patriot, while also desecrating the flag you claim to honor.
You are a hypocrite.
Pick a different symbol for your virtue signaling.
The flag does not belong to corrupt cops. The past 2 years proved to anyone who didn't have their head up their ass that most cops are in it for the paycheck, and only pay lip service to patriotism.

It’s different when we do it. I don’t think you understand that.

When they changed our flag to to include the Ukrainian colors, it was awful to see. None of them where charged.
I know it probably sounds petty considering everything going on but I hope this gets added to their long list of crimes.
