Town Refuses to Fly Thin Blue Line Flag for Slain Trooper, Pulls Insulting Move with ‘Pride’ Flag Instead

Democrats in a Connecticut town council voted against flying a “thin blue line” flag to honor a fallen police officer during his funeral, instead deciding to have the “pride” flag flown at half-mast for the service.

In a 5-3 vote, the council of Wethersfield, Connecticut, struck down the request that would have honored fallen Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier.

Pelletier was killed on duty in late May during a traffic stop, according to The Associated Press. He had pulled over a car because the driver was not wearing a seat belt, and while he stood outside that car talking with the driver, a pickup truck left the roadway and struck Pelletier, along with his police car and the car the officer had stopped.

  1. Would love to see a peaceful, massive protest against the town of Wethersfield, Connecticut where every vehicle of all types flies high the Stars and Bars and the Thin Blue Line flags.
