On Friday, San Francisco police officers who were sent to patrol a protest against the city’s high price of housing wore masks emblazoned with the “thin blue line flag,” a black-and-white American flag with a blue stripe across the middle. But then San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott sent an email to officers warning that although the “thin blue line” flag was “a meaningful expression to honor fallen officers,” others would find it “divisive and disrespectful.” He stated, “Thin Blue Line masks shall not be worn by our on-duty members.”
