About This Quote

Ever since the Police introduced the 'thin blue line' this phrase has become a powerful symbol of strength among law-abiding citizens. The 'thin blue line' is nothing more than the no snitching policy found in any other criminal gang. It was used to signify that the Police are expected to be accountable for their job and that they should not be shamed into silence. I suppose it's a sort of ritualistic display of vulnerability, one that only the most noble of people would dare to perform.
