DAVIS (CBS13) — Controversy is brewing over a picture of slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona and the flag she’s seen honoring two years before she was shot and killed in the line of duty.
The picture which has been shared across the country, shows Officer Corona waving a Thin Blue Line Flag to honor fallen law enforcement, but some groups say the flag is insensitive to people of color, even racist. Meanwhile, those in support of the picture and the flag say its meaning is being twisted, which they say is another tragedy.
Retired Las Vegas Metro Lt. Randy Sutton said, “The makeup of the Thin Blue Line which that flag represents, represents all of America. It represents white people, black people, Hispanic people, females, males, gays, transexuals.â€
