. . . "Police officers appreciated the goodwill gesture — but some people did not.
"The following day the fire chief sent an email to the firefighters — telling them the flag had to come down.
"And your friendly neighborhood columnist received an exclusive copy of the email written by Chief John Hawkins.
“ 'Our foremost concern was whether the flag could create a safety risk for emergency responders due to extremists targeting the fire engine or for people following the fire engine and not being able to see the warning lights,” the chief wrote.
"He also said the fire department had to “look at the big picture.”
“ 'How is this perceived by not only the public, but also those that would seek to do harm to those in public safety?” he wrote. “Some feel the flag is an attempt to incite further violence against those who, to our very core, have dedicated our lives to protecting all lives.”
"The fire chief called the decision to remove the pro-police flag a “difficult” and “painful” decision." . . .
America is ruled by BLM and ISIS. What will it take for us to stand up to violent people?
