Ocean City police said they’re aware of flags with a profane message regarding President Joe Biden on the Boardwalk.
Police said in several tweets:
Unfortunately, the flags (including the profanity) is considered freedom of speech. We share your frustrations with this and are as disappointed as you are. We support freedom of speech and expression but do not agree with the inappropriate and offensive language used in the sign. We do not recommend sharing the photos circulating online or taking photos of the flags, as it will only help spread the tasteless message.
This isn’t the first time that vulgar political messages have been seen on the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Last summer, police similarly said they were frustrated by an offensive sign aimed at Gov. Larry Hogan, but again noted they must stay up as a matter of freedom of speech.
The Town of Ocean City responded by sharing the message “Spread Love – Not Hate.”

Well, there is no other flag to recognize the old fool.
Right, how else could you recognize the ole messed up nut job. Ought to have one with him sniffing and citizens would know who it was.
Excellent response by OCPD. We don’t like it, but what can we LEGALLY do.
Want our LEOs to handle the heavy lifting during the season….not tracking down flags, profanity and smoking/vaping on the boards – local rules implemented by City Fail.
City Fail wants that type of enforcement by LEOs (not cadets in yellow) – put aside more $$$$$ and hire more LEOs.
Huh? Whats that? Not enough money to do so – then stop making up rules really applied for 120 days.
OC has always been about good taste.
