On the police patch
Once again, I have seen comments regarding the Mount Prospect police badges. Conspiracy theorists are again claiming that the black-and-blue flag is a symbol of anarchists and should be abolished. They claim the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol showed many of those flags being carried by the "patriots."
I have viewed many different videos of the riot and, yes, I have seen one or two of the black-and-blue flags. I have also seen many "Trump" flags and even more United States flags. With so many American flags being carried and used as weapons, my question is this, should we ban the American flag since it was carried by the mob of subversives?
