I really can't think of any parallel to this in American history, let alone a 'Thin Blue Line' one. When has an attempted or actual assassin been propped up with popular support and donations? At least in the post-civil war era, you could point to the caning of sumner.
Thin Blue Line is a defense of qualified immunity in the face of people who believe that police are not above the law and should be held accountable for crimes they commit. Thin Blue Line defends every time a police officer kills a black person no matter the circumstances. It just does not matter what they do. A guy had to kill a guy on video tape through gross incompetence, negligence, indifference, in doing something that will obviously going to kill the person in custody and you still have apologists for him, including you, so you know this belief of mine about Thin Blue Line is rational and realistic. They only were created when a police officer was finally being prosecuted in earnest for a crime he obviously committed (I personally seen it on a video).
The police just broke into a man's house and murdered him because he had something he was legally entitled to own. This movement isn't about law and order, self-defense, personal rights, or second amendment rights, just the defense of murder committed by police against our black neighbors.
TLDR: Thin Blue Line is supportive of the modern version of lynching.

https://nypost.com/2022/02/17/amazon-suspends-black-lives-matter-from-its-charity-platform/The beleaguered Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been kicked off Amazon’s charity platform for its failure to disclose where tens of millions in donations it received nearly two years ago have ended up.
AmazonSmile, which gives a portion of eligible purchases on the online shopping site to charities, said it “had to temporarily suspend” the group today, an Amazon spokesperson told The Post.
“States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states, so we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until they come into compliance.”
surprised Amazon made such a bold move ;)
i wonder if donating to them still goes to the DNC lol.
