May 24, 2021 The Ada County prosecutor’s office in southwest Idaho has received online criticism after promoting its services in honor of Crime Victims’ Rights Week last month with a post on Twitter where the thin blue line flag was visible in the background. The tweet included a link to a blog post that highlighted victim-witness coordinators who work to make victims “feel empowered when moving through the criminal justice system.” The Idaho Statesman reported several people and organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho, questioned if the prosecutors also served residents who experienced police violence. The “thin blue line,” a reference to the blue of police uniforms, is a symbol worn to show support for law enforcement. But the symbol recently has become politically charged and used by counterprotesters at rallies for racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement.
