High school requests resource officer's removal after complaints about her 'divisive' public defense of police, Thin Blue Line patch - TheBlaze A suburban Chicago high school dumped its resource officer after receiving complaints about her "divisive" public defense of police and the Thin Blue Line symbol — and the chief of the Mount Prospect, Illinois, police department is concerned about the power a few people can wield over one woman's career, Fox News reported. What's the background? Officer Lisa Schaps — who has served the department for almost 15 years and was the school resource officer at Prospect High School — addressed the village board June 15 regarding concerns about local officers' Thin Blue Line shoulder patch, according to Journal & Topics, an outlet that covers Chicago's northwest suburbs. Schaps said the Thin Blue Line — which many on the left say carries racist meanings — "was never about hate. It was never about oppression," the outlet said.
