The Laguna Beach City Council voted Tuesday night to keep its American flag design on police cars.
The vote came after days of national debate about the design for the police vehicles, one that some local officials believed gotAt least 200 people packed the council chamber, where police officers guarded the doors. Many in attendance wore combinations of red, white and blue. Some donned veterans or American Legion hats. A couple wore “Make America Great Again” caps.
A few speakers had qualms about the design, which couples the cars’ new black-and-white color scheme with the U.S. flag graphic. The flag design on Laguna Beach police cars has stirred discussion about whether the new theme properly reflects the community. Councilwoman Toni Iseman, who cast the lone dissenting vote, said Laguna Beach doesn’t have a problem with patriotism, but she suggested making the “i” in “police” blue so the letters “ice” wouldn’t be all red.
“This flag is what they’re fighting for, and they’re fighting for all of us,” she said to cheers from many in the audience.
