The police chief of Los Angeles ordered the removal of a “Thin Blue Line” flag from a police station lobby because of concerns about “extremist groups” allegedly “co-opting” the flags.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said he ordered the removal after a member of the public complained about the flag being displayed in the lobby of the Rampart Station. The person believed the symbol “signifies support of extremist views such as those espoused by the Proud Boys and others,” Moore said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
