The possibility of flying a thin blue line flag and the flag of the Cincinnati Fire Department will be discussed on Wednesday when the City Council meets.
The American flag is currently at half-staff in honor of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but later this week Councilmember Betsy Sundermann introduced a motion to add a thin blue line flag and the official flag of the Cincinnati Fire Department.
Having those two flags fly would coincide with the Blue Mass for police officers next Sunday at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral, which is across the street from City Hall.
The motion says this is in support of the city’s police officers, firefighters, first responders, and those employed in public safety.
Cincinnati FOP President Sgt. San Hils says the thin blue line flag is a symbol of what officers are.
