The White House flag is never flown at half-staff except for high-ranking dignitaries. This is called protocol, and you might want to read up on it.
You guys are ridiculous. Like a bunch of Baptist ninnies in a sewing circle.
That's not true.
...As a mark of solemn respect for the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and...

Doesn’t explain why trump hasn’t called the officers family with his condolences either.
That’s between the family of the officer and the President. I don’t sense that one of you here really cares about the feelings of this man’s survivors anyway. You just want to continue your endless heaping of verbal abuse upon Trump. Well I’m not stopping any of you. I’m simply injecting some reality into your latest froth here.

He can order it for any reason and you know it. It's been done as a sign of respect for many who weren't "high ranking dignitaries", which is a completely ambiguous term anyway.
You defending his not calling the officer's family too? The dead officer was a big trump supporter.
YOU said the flag was ONLY lowered for high ranking dignitaries. I showed you that is incorrect.
Yes, the President has the authority to have the flag lowered, that is the point being made.
He is not lowering it for a fallen officer who lost his life, defending the Capitol.

Would you just listen to yourself? You’re hysterical here. Just madly banging on your keyboard in a state of rage without applying any analytical thinking to this scenario here.
Go take a Xanax.
Would you just look at yourself? Deflecting. Spinning. Making excuses. Poor trumplettes are like abused dogs, can’t understand that their master finds them disdainful, will never take care of them, will beat them regularly & they’ll still look at them & think “one day you’ll love me, one day”. Pathetic.

I do care about the officers family. Trump isn’t the least bit presidential. So oblivious of the standards social graces. Had he been presidential during his time he would be celebrating his win for a second term. The man is devoid of any feelings outside himself.

I am not “defending” a damn thing here. I am offering some information on the protocol for flag lowering.
It’s sad that you are incapable of simply accepting information because you are so full of hatred.
The fallen Capitol Police officer was a Trump supporter in 2016, per news articles about people he worked with in 2016.
