Confederate flag on police uniform patch stirs controversy in small South Dakota town INFORUM

Interesting situation here. Town is Gettysburg, South Dakota. Police Departments patch has American and Confederate flag...and a cannon.

Why? Heritage. The town...and the state itself...didnt exist in the Civil War. South Dakota was a state...in 1889. The town of Gettysburg SD...didnt exist.

It was founded by veterans of the Civil War...from the North AND South. They all came here and founded a new place.

Why did they get along? They respected each other as soldiers. Purely a battlefield respect. Nothing else.

And thus...the two flags. BATTLEFIELD flags. Not political flags.

One soldier's respect of another soldier for the shared experience and courage. Flags representing each mans battlefield hardships.

In a town and state...that didnt even exist in the slave era.

So here...it truly is the towns heritage. And it has absolutely nothing to do with slaves. As no slaves ever existed in this town...or state. And it was all founded by opposing soldiers who respected each other and united after a war that most on both sides probably didnt want to fight.

Gettysburg South Dakota Police Chief Defends Use of Confederate Flag

WOW. Police chief stands up to whining liberals.

In Facebook post...."The patch is not offensive. We will not change it. If you dont like it...feel free to visit our museum to learn why. Thanks"!!

So refreshing. Fuck liberals. Stop bowing down to them.

Notice how it's always local police that tell obama to fuck off?
No wonder he wants a national police force.

Yep. Cops have a very low tolerance for bullshit.

Notice how almost no politicians are ex cops? Thats why.
