half staff flag

[Firemanjoe213]

Here in the Indy area, anytime a Police Officer or FireFighter dies in the line of duty, All Police Stations and Fire Stations that I know of lower the flag to half. The last two times a Police Officer was killed in the line of duty the Mayor ordered Flags to halfmast, out of respect for those Officers.

Been following the 'discussion' a little and I can see that both sides think they are right. Heres my two cents... there are probly rules on how the flag should/will/wont/can be treated... however I am sure G-dub or any other official would be the last person to reprimand an individual or department for half-staffin their flag in honor of a fallen brother, or officer or anyone serving alongside us.
