They admit the racist and classist undertones but want to fly it anyway. Boo. Hiss.
No, they admit that they were told, so in other words, they were told someone’s opinion. Edit: and they ignored that opinion.
Back the blue isn’t about racism, no matter how much you want it to be.
Its about the law versus criminals. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is the least safe city in the nation. Thanks, whoever.
It was created for the sole purpose of rebuking black lives matter.
The main difference is blue lives don’t exist. You choose to put on the uniform. You don’t choose your skin color.
Hey now, white guys commit crimes too.
You should read the rest of the Wikipedia article where it clearly shows the usage going back to the 1950’s and past.
“Blue Lives Matter” you are correct. “The Thin Blue Line” is decades old, if not over a century.
You know who fomented the war on cops? President Obama. He pushed the “us vs them” mentality. Unprovoked ambushes on officers sitting in their cars really started during his second term. All the while, he was continuing to allow departments to request military armored vehicles and weaponry. Playing both sides of the field for what purpose?
I know I’m potentially arguing with many who cannot or will not ever see both sides of an argument, and whoever believes different must be wrong.
Is it strange to ANYONE that most of BLM’s heroes were in fact breaking the law, resisting lawful arrests, or putting others in danger? Probably not who I’d put on a pedestal, they weren’t martyrs.
I’m not lumping Floyd in this argument, he was definitely unjustly killed by that cop.
Cops don’t think they are part of the community but overlords of it. They separate themselves. Obama didn’t do this.
Good. Montgomery County in general seems to really have jumped into the deep end in recent years (I know they’re primarily a blue area, but still).
In what sense did they jump into the deep end?
I think it was clear from the context, but “strongly liberal” is a phrase I’ve seen used. Anyway, here’s an article you can read.

Is there an example of going of the deep end in this article? It’s about the radicalization of the GOP? I’m not seeing anything negative in here about Montco. Unless you’re just saying anything liberal=bad?
I’ll spell it for you.

Was the pool analogy too much for you? I thought it illustrated going “all in” to one side.
And no, I’m not saying anything liberal is bad. Don’t put words in my mouth. Healthy competition is important otherwise you get stuck with “more of the same, forever” regardless of what that “same” is.
Someday third parties in PA will get an actual fair chance, but I won’t hold my breath.
Can’t tell if you’re trolling or just an asshole
The second thing mostly, I suppose.
