American flag themed police cars

[jimnyc]

The American flag is "too aggressive"? WTF?

We have lowered so far in society, to the point that you can wear things to show how proud you are of your heritage in school - so long as it's another country, just can't do so if it's the USA.

How can the American flag not represent ANY community in the US? I don't care if the population is 100% Mexican immigrants - if you move here, and want to be a citizen, then don't bitch, whine and complain about our flag. Unbelievable. :rolleyes:

California councilman addresses backlash over American flag themed police cars

Laguna Beach Councilman Steve Dicterow appeared on”Fox & Friends” Monday to address the backlash his city is facing over its new patriotic police vehicles.

The Laguna Beach Police Department in California added American flag lettering to the sides of 11 patrol cars to spell out the word police, according to Fox News. Some residents, including a local artist, said the design was too “aggressive” and felt it didn’t properly represent their community.

“This really came from the police department itself,” Dicterow said. “They came to us a few months ago because our vehicles were actually white at that time without the black as well. And so they asked us to switch to black and white vehicles, which is what every other jurisdiction in Orange County, which is where we’re located, has. And they also decided to use the graphic of the flag for where it spells out police.”

“When that came to us, the graphic was not as bright as it is on the vehicles themselves,” he continued. “So in an effort to be very cautious, we’re bringing it back in front of the council again tomorrow night, because we want to make sure that what we approve is what’s in fact on the side of the cars.”

a small few who hate this country will always complain.......

If you don't like the American flag, and you live here, then you need to NOT live here. GET... THE... FUCK... OUT.

For Christ sake... stories like this piss me off.

I do not see a single, solitary thing wrong with that lettering design.

Are other LE departments supposed to remove U.S. Flags they display on their vehicles?
Not all do display them, but quite a few do.

What about fire trucks? Remove those flags from them as well?

Snowflakes will whine about anything - that is proven daily.

I would love to know more about those who originally complained. Foreigners? Illegals? Liberal? I mean, who thinks the American flag is a problem, anywhere?

Makes me feel better seeing the citizens stand up and defend.

Laguna Beach residents attend city council meeting to keep American flag on police cars

The Laguna Beach City Council voted Tuesday evening to keep new USA-themed decals on police cars after hearing passionate testimony from residents during the meeting.

The controversy began for the southern California beach community in February, when the new graphic began appearing on patrol vehicles. A minority of residents complained to the city council that the flag imagery was offensive.

Mayor Steve Dicterow introduced the discussion Tuesday saying that he had received more emails on the decal issue than any other issue during his tenure in Laguna Beach government. He cautioned speakers to limit their remarks since the line of residents who wanted speak went out the door. The crowd included several veterans.

“If there are people who are offended by the stars and stripes, my guess is that they have never fought to preserve them,” said a WWII veteran.

At one point during the meeting, the crowd spontaneously sang the Star Spangled Banner.

Some of you seem to forget this is America. No , someone doesn't need to leave if they find our flag offensive, they have the fucking right to say how they feel. People like myself, Darin, Gunny, and many many others who post here and other places fought for that right.

The ONLY problem is if the minority move beyond speech if they don't get their way.

As one that has had family members serve and fight, the thought of telling these vermin to- "get the fuck out" rings correct to me..
Who has fought to give to others --the right to hate and try to destroy this nation ?
None that I know of myself...
Any that say they have, were not defending this country, IMHO..
Seems to me these worthless ffing dems need to learn what defending this nation is -- and it is not about giving other vermin
rights to try to destroy it..--- Tyr

Because you're stupid and have no idea what you are talking about.

The military exists to protect ALL freedoms, not just the ones YOU think should be protected. If you are an American , or here as a legal guest, you have EVERY right to say you hate this country.

The majority of people hate what you believe in, Luckily that majority is concentrated in very few counties so they don't hold sway, but if a vote was held where every American got to vote, you would probably be voted off the island because of YOUR beliefs.

I , and others, served to make sure no one could make you leave this country because of your beliefs, so how dare you now turn around and say that those who don't believe the way YOU do should have to leave.

Are you truly daft. I did not quote or mention you at all. I did mention the damn dems, etc..
Act like the fool you are, but at least address what I post and not your imagined version of it.

That quoted above, is a question that I asked the reader- one you ignored so you could blast your ignorant little tirade.
God what a moron you are.
Afraid to answer that question???
Appears so to me...- :laugh: ---Tyr

The fuck are you talking about? I answered the questions clearly. Everyone who ever put on a uniform fought for the right to hate this country. Doesn't mean we like it when people hate this country, just means that we fought for ALL freedoms, not just the ones we like, or exercise ourselves.

I'm not gay, but I surely fought for Jim's rights to be so , as an example. :lol:

That's what makes you as dumb as the liberals Tyr. You believe the only rights that matter are the ones YOU cherish, just the same as they do. You're damn right an American has a right to protest this country, and American has a right to run for elected office and if elected propose changes that YOU think would destroy this country, and you certainly have the right to tell them they should get out of the country, but you do NOT have the right to make them get out. That's America baby, that's the country the military defends.

You see the AIR FORCE next to my board name, ya ignorant sons a bitch? My brother did two tours in Vietnam, God rest his soul, my son was in Dessert Storm, and my father served in the Navy WWII, so don't fucking lecture me about forgetting what America is who fucking fought for it.

And I don't give a shit what you think. All you're doing is giving your opinion, and it doesn't carry any more or any less weight than mine. I happen to believe that if you find our flag offensive, you should get your America hating ass out of my country. You think they should stay. Quite frankly, I think you need to unfuck your head, but that's also my opinion.

Why the fuck would ANYONE want to STAY in a nation they HATE? Makes no sense, and neither does you thinking they belong here.

Why did you bring up-- gay, is your conscience bothering you?
It is ok, none of my business who's poop-shoot you been plowing.
So your answer to my question is those that I named have every right to -- HATE AND TRY TO DESTROY THIS NATION...
Got it, so now please do continue on with your infantile ranting and gay parties..-Tyr

Made no sense how he first replied to my comment either.
Not that he has ever been known for making a lot of sense, IMHO..
Maybe his little gay buddy, that he bragged about, dumped him last night .. ;)- -Tyr

That's about enough, I think.

I served 37 years. No, I was never in combat, but put my ass on the line saving lives and protecting people
as much as possible.

I feel strongly for the flag and it's symbolism.

I just saw this. Man I have to apologize, i was just razzing you Air Force. I wasn't really trying to offend you. I respect ALL service, I was just giving you shit, and it came across wrong.

My apologies to the board, my joke came across poorly.

My friend, the scum that invade this country have no damn rights! Anybody that claims ffing invaders are protected by our Constitution are abject fools in my opinion!
Really, break into my house and then demand free meals, a soft warm bed and other luxuries at my expense while constantly calling me a liar, a thief, an evil bastard! No sir!
That ffing shit does not cut it with me and neither does the comments made by the ffing American citizen morons that support the damn illegals! FFKK THEM TOO...
I was not raised to be a damn blind fool, yet far too many Americans have been, especially the worthless scum that sell out our nation by giving aid/support to these damn invaders! FFKK THEM TOO...--Tyr

You weren't raised to be a fool? Then you must have chosen to be one. OF COURSE people have certain inalienable rights whether they are criminals or not.

Of course certain rights can be abridged , but only after legal justification to do so (IE a court finds you guilty of a crime, or you plead, of course)

[jimnyc]

Stop adding this shit on while I'm trying to get a grasp on things and have already moved things. No, calling someone a fool is not a big deal - but you're doing so in threads that have already had posts split off, and folks angry with me. Please don't have me start moving more shit, just keep to the debate and leave out the insults.

That applies to all, but you were the only one I saw thus far...
