A flag that some believe is a symbol of support for police officers and others criticize as being adopted by white supremacists has flown over the Caroline County Sheriffâs Office for the past several months.
The Caroline County Branch NAACP has requested Sheriff Tony Lippa denounce the co-option of the flag by extremists. Lippa did agree to remove a âBlue Lives Matterâ sign that was on the officeâs grounds before it was replaced with a sign reminding citizens to âSupport Those Who Protect You.â
Lippaâs decision to remove the âBlue Lives Matterâ sign came after hearing from Black community members and meeting with the NAACP in January.
