They teach it in the same class that shows what colors the American flag is and how there are no thin blue lines on it.

I always took that as the police being an institution of the Federal Government, which they are not. Looking into the message they want to put out there, then yes, it says exactly what they want. A police state that enforces wealth distribution. Wealth distribution of minorities to white people.

If the Thin Blu Line flags were state flags, then whatever, but they show the American Flag. And they are not flying that flag for the FBI, or DEA, or DHS. It is State Police they are trying to say are as valuable and institutional as the states and original colonies in our culture. Police in the modern form were not part of the founding of the country. It started in the Jim Crow era and then grew exponentially after the Great Depression. It's old, but not foundational. And looking further into the history of the Modern Structure of the police it gets even worse. I would recommend anyone reading this far to listen on the series on Police from Behind the Bastards. After that the Thin Blue Flags look even worse.
