Default Does This Bother You?
Not me, need more of it.

Laguna Beach police cars with an American flag logo on their patrol cars are under fire from some residents for being "too aggressive" and "militaristic" for possibly offending immigrants.

The Orange County town's city council initially approved American flag lettering for its police department but after community outrage, the city will decide Tuesday if the cop cars will lose the red, white, blue bold paint from their Ford Explorers.

"Unfortunately this has devolved to a debate about what the flag means," Laguna Beach Council member Steve Dicterow told "Fox & Friends" Monday. "There are people in Laguna Beach...saying that the flag is hostile, it's intimidating, it's threatening, and that it's a symbol of racism."

One resident, Carrie Woodburn, pointed out the "amazing community of artists" in the area and said it "feels very aggressive."


Feels aggressive my ass, damn wussies.

If an immigrant if offended by the American flag, try another country, maybe RED, WHITE and BLUE are not their colors?

Guess Cuban or Puerto Rican flag won't work either..... hmmmm, maybe this one:
