In your mind, the blue line flag is a simply a tribute to cops. But that flag never opened its mouth and said that to you.  No city, state, or federal government has written any law explaining what it means. Your interpretation is plausible. But considering how recently this flag was invented, and what was in the National conversation at that time, the interpretation that the flag means "tamir Rice got what was coming to him" is also plausible.

Dude, the blue line and the red line LITERALLY MEAN, as in it designates them as police and firefighters. No interpretation at all. I was married to one so I would actually know what I'm talking about. 

But you go ahead and think what you want. People are going to associate what they choose. That doesn't mean they're right.
