Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore is taking some flak for his decision to ban officers and other personnel at the Los Angeles Police Department from publicly displaying the thin blue line flag.

The policy requires the flag and its replicas in patch and sticker form to be removed from all police station lobbies, as well as police uniforms and department vehicles, said LAPD Lt. Letesia Ruiz.
