A decision by the board of fire commissioners serving Poughkeepsie, New York sparked outrage when the panel ordered Arlington Fire District Chief Tony Gallante to remove the American flags from the rear of his trucks, the Poughkeepsie Journal first reported.
Arlington Fire Commissioners Chairman Jim Beretta said three of his members called the flags a “liability” and a “distraction to motorists.”
How the hell is this a Liability? How is it a distraction? What is wrong with this country?
I didn't realize that such a symbol of pride could be distracting. That doesn't even make sense. Apparently politically correctness has started smoking crack.

Because New York, no other explanation necessary.
It amazes me that after 9/11 NYers seemed as patriotic as anyone, but here we are 15 years later and they're effectively banning the flag. There aren't enough facepalms.
