What is the “Thin Blue Line”?
The Thin Blue Line is a symbol used by law enforcement, it started in the UK and is not used in the US and Canada to commemorate fallen and to show support for the living law enforcement officers and to symbolize the relationship of law enforcement in the community as the protectors of fellow civilians from criminal elements. Wikipedia. It is an analogy to the term Thin Red Line.
Each stripe on the emblem represents certain respective figures:
- the top black stripe represents the public
- and the bottom represents the criminals.
The idea behind the graphic is that law enforcement (the blue line) is what stands between the violence and victimization by criminals and the would-be victims of crime.
By using thin blue line products, people show support for police.[citation needed] In the wake of polemics over police shootings, the Thin Blue Line Flag has become popular among law enforcement personnel, their families and supporters. [Source: Wikipedia.org]
