    Thanks did not expect it to be such a loaded thing:

    "The “thin blue line” symbol has been used by the “Blue Lives Matter” movement, which emerged in 2014 as a rebuttal to the Black Lives Matter movement, and gained traction following the high-profile homicides of NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in Brooklyn, New York.

    The “thin blue line” has also been associated with white nationalists in the United States, particularly after the Unite the Right rally in 2017, who fly Thin Blue Line flags at their rallies."
