When I looked into it while debating with someone who was flying it in Mahogany and made the community upset it was some guy who created it for the Blue Lives Matter group.
Thin Blue Line has been a phrase forever, but there hasn't been a flag. And historically Police officers wore a band around their badge to represent a down officer, not a flag.
I did not find anything earlier than Blue Lives Matter protests for this racist flag.
