Rashawn Ray comments on Maryland's Thin Blue Line Flag Ban on NBC4 Washington
Montgomery County Executive, Maryland Governor disagree on Thin Blue Line Flag
Aimee Cho, reporter for NBC Washington, details a heated argument between Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan on the issue of displaying the Thin Blue Line Flag. "The thin blue line symbolizes how police stand between order and chaos, but some feel the flag is racist and dismissive of the Black Lives Matter movement," Cho noted.
Faculty Associate Dr. Rashawn Ray has researched the thin blue line flag and said he understands both sides. “I think we have to realize that police officers put their lives on the line every single day, but at the same time there are still issues, and a lot of it centers on transparency,” he told NBC4.
