Well...thats Calgary, I recall there being a giant ruckus caused in the US when the Police Department issued an order requiring Police Stations to remove 'Think Blue Line' stickers that were on their front doors.
Whats worse? The fact that the Police resisted removing them from the entrance to a Police Station or the fact that they were even there in the first place?

Look, I personally don’t care to wear a thin blue line patch or anything like that a) because it’s unnecessary and b) it offends some people. But since I started 20 years ago, I always understood the phrase “thin blue line” as the only thing protecting good people from bad. It was never about covering for someone else etc. That’s just my experience though, obviously it’s been taken to a different level in other places.
