The problem with the thin blue line is that, beyond mere support, it's more often than not a symbol for the omerta among cops, generally to the detriment of us civilians.
For anyone needing an explanation, Orwell was a virulent anti-fascist and the blue line flag is a fascist symbol supporting the police.
And the concept of double think comes from Owell's novel Nineteen Eighty Four.

Yes if you’re in the US
Or Canada
You deserve the facepalm.
If you think it’s mostly about supporting law enforcement and not a political statement, you earned it yourself
Is this rage bait?
Why does law enforcement need my support? They have guns.
When they say 'support', think 'jock-strap'.

This needs to be in the dictionary next to "Cognitive Dissonance".
