“Metropolitan police officers are openly defying orders not to wear badges appropriated by the far right and linked to white supremacy.
In July, the force’s chief, Mark Rowley, banned officers from wearing the “thin blue line” badge saying that in the US an equivalent symbol had been used by “hard-right groups”.”

"& in the UK which is where we live the thin blue line is a common nomenclature of the police force.
They are “The thin blue line” & have been known by this name for decades.
S"
In the uk it’s also linked to a charity that helps families of police |

Of all the problems that the Met is been facing, Mr.Mark Rowley chose this hill to die on? A leader must know the pulse of people under him. The moment he sets a rule and people don't follow, he has become a joke already.
Not to mention, the whole idea is rather stupid. If I want to get a symbol banned, all I have to do is to start an online trend associating the symbol with far right groups? It's a slippery slope. |

Badges?
I would like them to defy orders and start arresting pro Palestine protestors that are attacking the police, people, lighting fires, setting off flares, vandalism and especially those who are openly supporting Hamas a terrorist organisation.
