“People are screaming that the American flag on a police car is somehow or another ... hurting people’s feelings who might be immigrants or visitors,” Councilman Peter Blake said, according to the Times. “People are actually ridiculous enough to bring up comments about our cop cars having American flags on them.”

“They are so filled with hatred toward this ... office of the president of the United States and the current occupant of that office that they cannot see through their current biases to realize that a police vehicle with the American flag is the ultimate American expression," Attorney Jennifer Welsh Zeiter said, per the Times.

City Manager John Pietig said earlier this month that the city council would reconsider the logo “out of an abundance of caution to address questions that have been raised about the process.”
