Chelsea Manning Burns Blue Line flag, Tweets F**K the Police on Appreciation Day

The activist, whistle-blower and former U.S. Army soldier now known as Chelsea Manning burned a Thin Blue Line flag, took a picture as it flamed away, then tweeted “fuck the police” along with the hashtag #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay on January 9.

“Yearly reminder we live in a domestic military occupation in every major city,” Manning wrote.

“‘Thin Blue Flags’ are a variation of an American flag that features a thin blue line to represent law enforcement. It’s also occasionally seen painted on roads between solid yellow painted lines.”

Manning then tweeted an article from July 5, 2018 which was published in the Intercept that covered a police raid on her home in June after she posted a series of tweet police said they thought sounded “suicidal.”

“My warrantless ‘welfare check’ with guns drawn,” she wrote.

Police claimed to have not been searching her home, but rather conducting a welfare check.

In October, Manning called the U.S. a “large, big prison” while speaking at the Royal Institution in London.

“You think about the surveillance systems, the cameras, or the police presence, and you think about the fact that we have walls around our country, and that is very much the same thing that is inside a prison,” Manning said, according to The Guardian.

“I see a lot of similarities between the world out here and the world that was in there.”

Manning previously faced 35 years in prison after being found guilty of leaking military and diplomatic documents, but had her sentence commuted in 2017 by former President Barack Obama.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
