Interestingly, after I posted this I got an E-mail from our county prosecutor asking about a ā€œmunicipal clientā€ wanting to fly the Blue Lives Matter flag, asking me for legal and etiquette advice. (Heā€™s the lawyer, Iā€™m the guy with a high school diploma.)

I wanted to tread carefully on the subject, because I donā€™t really want to get crosswise with the county prosecutor in a low-population county, but the ā€œetiquetteā€ portion of his question involves politics and why the Blue Lives Matter flag came about.

I quickly dispatched the legal argument (no itā€™s not allowed because it is not one of the flags permitted by the Flag Code or statutes), and can also be seen as an alteration of the flag (a violation of the Flag Code).

Regarding the etiquette question, I spent quite a bit of time writing and re-writing about the origin of that flag and the fact itā€™s frequently seen at neo-Nazi and Klan rallies. As such, many people view the flag as a symbol of white supremacy.

He wrote back to thank me, and said he would advise his client not to fly that flag.

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
