after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

Thin blue line is a gang symbol. We need to normalize asking people with thin blue line bullshit why they're flying gang symbols.

I’ve occasionally seen the black and white American flag with one red line instead of the blue one. Apparently it’s meant to show support for paramedics and firefighters. I wish that one was more popular.

Yeah, you really only see those often if you know firefighters/EMTs it seems.

I wish these groups would be more original and stop bastardizing the US flag. It also gives a creepy paramilitary vibe to what should be social support organizations.
