Hundreds of people rallied outside Chardon High School, Ohio, in support of the school’s football players, who were told they could no longer display the “Thin Blue Line” flag in future events to show appreciation to law enforcement officers.

The Friday night event was organized by a Chardon man named Eric Downing, who told local WYKC that he was expecting, at most, a few dozen people to show up. Instead, hundreds of locals gathered and marched to Chardon High to protest the controversial ban on the pro-police flag.
