Showing appreciation?

[BC9696]

In addition to flying the blue line flag...is there any hand gesture(s) that LEOs recognize as a thank you? It's an impossible job IMO...you gotta be a badass, a politician, a therapist, EMT, public relations expert...all while being monitored and recorded. I honestly don't know how anyone can measure up to the standards, much less endure the bovine excrement coming from today's social justice asshats.

If there's a commonly recognized way to let a cop know you respect, support & appreciate them...please share it. i have a blue line wrist band, a sticker on my Harley Road King and blue line plates all my EDC pistols.

A simple thumbs up and head nod work well

I appreciate it when I'm in my patrol car and a citizen just smiles or waves (with a hand, not a middle finger). Those simple gestures are a breath of fresh air to me.

No blue line on my flags but I will smile, wave and pay for lunch/coffee if the opportunity arises.

Hahah you don't like the middle finger?! That's my favorite one. It always makes me laugh

I like it when people wave at me and smile.

I was LEO for 23 years and now retired for 4 years. While on the job I always appreciated when a customer in the place I was getting food offered to pay for my meal. Several times after finishing a meal with my buddies in uniform the waiter or waitress would tell us that someone had already paid for our meal.

So now whenever I see a LEO or fire getting food at the same place I am, I always insist on paying for their meals. The LEOs and fire always decline my offer but I insist and they are very appreciative. It catches the workers at the food place off guard and Im sure the other customers think Im crazy too. I always tell the LEO that I am retired and that I always appreciated my meal being paid for and now I am repaying the favor.

Just my .02 worth.......
