Maryland’s governor slams local official who blocked a police department from displaying a 'thin blue line' flag.
Two days later, Elrich called the flag a symbol of “support” to some and “dismissiveness to others."
“Because it is divisive, the flag will not be posted at the 5th District nor in any public space within the police department,” Elrich said. Hogan responded Sunday that the same flag hangs in the governor’s mansion. To ban it was “outrageous and unconscionable,” he said.Earlier this year, a government employee in Portland, Oregon, sued Multnomah County after she said she was harassed for asking that the flag to be taken down,The woman, along with other black co-workers, had complained that the flag demeaned the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the AP.
The AP reported that white supremacists at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, displayed the flag alongside Confederate flags.
