Ich wurde gestern in Genf von der Polizei angehalten, weil ich bei Gelb mit dem Fahrrad über die Ampel gefahren bin.
Der Polizist, der mir den Strafzettel ausgestellt hat, trug ein Abzeichen mit einer dünnen blauen Linie. Hat das schon mal jemand gesehen oder weiß jemand, was es symbolisiert?
Mir war nicht bewusst, dass sie außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten verwendet werden, wo sie zu Symbolen der Alt-Right / des weißen Nationalismus wurden.

The Thin Blue Lign symbol has nothing to do with political parties. It is a representation of the police protecting citizens from criminals

They don’t need this to be pigs anyway.
That’s a reflective line. So they can be better seen at night.
Found a similar one here: [https://shop.ipds.ch/de/thin-blue-line/467-klett-thin-blue-line-switzerland.html](https://shop.ipds.ch/de/thin-blue-line/467-klett-thin-blue-line-switzerland.html)
There is no doubt that the „thin blue line“ in Switzerland is the same „thin blue line“ that has been popularized in the US. However, you cannot deny that today’s association with the „thin blue line“ is a bit different from the origin of the thin red line (read up on that, it’s pretty cool) or the initial adoption of the phrase in the US.
Especially since the „Blue Lives Matter“ movement (pretty much exactly what it sounds like) and the inflationary use of the symbol by alt-right or outright neo-Nazi groups in the US, there is nothing „heroic“ left in the „thin blue line.“ If you’re a good cop, be a good cop and show off by being a good cop, people will recognize that. If you feel the need to show the thin blue line, knowing today’s connotation, you should not be part of the executive branch of the law. You are siding with people who don’t stand behind the law.
Those are why it’s tagged ACAB everywhere.
Some big old dogwhistling with them.
Leave the burgerland politics in burgerland. THANKS
Is cycling through yellow illegal?
I am very glad the workforce of three people is used for one person on a bike
