 SAN LUIS OBISPO, California — Following the murder of San Luis Obispo Detective Luca Benedetti, who was shot and killed while serving a warrant on May 10th, the Department memorialized the officer by hanging two Thin Blue Line flags in front of police headquarters. The community came together in the aftermath of the tragedy, tying blue ribbons on trees and attaching Thin Blue Line flags to their vehicles in support of Benedetti’s family and law enforcement in general.
In the midst of the grief, Cal Poly music professor Scott Glysson called these actions ‘racist.’ Glysson explained on Facebook that “The flag with the blue line is not a sign of community support for police.” And he further declared—without citing any evidence—that the Thin Blue Line flag “is a racist symbol. It was popularized at the same time and in direct response to the Black Lives Matter movement.”
