Painting the curb blue means that it is a handicapped spot. It is also illegal.

As mentioned before, nobody was forced to take a job in police work. People made the choice to become a cop with the full understanding that every time they leave their house could be their last. I certainly appreciate when the police do their jobs, but I would not call them a hero for doing it. To me a hero is someone who goes above and beyond their normal roles. "You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. And that's not true: the function of the police is social control and protection of property." ~ Micheal Parenti

From what I have researched this practice was started in 2015 by home owners. They painted blue lines on curbs to show their support for the police. This was done as a response to the negative publicity aimed at the police after the recent string of shootings involving police officers. It may have been adopted by municipalities but it is not an "us against them" demonstration as is kencares suggested.

Politics aside, how can they get so much of this red/blue paint down but there are unpainted crosswalks and stop signs all over the city?

I'm all for good police--Police who both protect civilians and police the police. But the thin blue line was not recently "invented" as 135JC suggests, it's part of a systemic us-vs-them mentality that is at the root of the problem we face.
Cops do not inherently deserve respect. They have to earn it. You don't get respect through corruption or by painting lines on our streets. Who painted/approved the lines? Terrence, can you please investigate?

The blue line was invented to promote support for our police. Public sentiment is waning thanks to the media sensationalizing police shootings. Whether you believe it is warranted here in Jersey city or not it started as a noble cause.

Kencares, what an ignorant post.
Try going without the police and let's see how long you last. It's a shame you have all this resentment towards those who keep you safe. Try to break out of your liberal brainwashing. But I'm happy to see these lines honoring those who actually deserve it so thanks for calling this to our attention.

No, they are not under siege, except in their own privileged minds. Even with a couple of horrendous ambushes, being a cop isn't even in the top 10 of most dangerous jobs. Being a roofer or cab driver is more dangerous. They just like to play it up so no one can negotiate aggressively with them at contract time.

Can we hold off on this outrage.... I do not think we ever settled the rabble rousing about the confederate flag flying in Liberty State Park.... or did I miss the memo where we have moved on from that foolishness.

You must not pay much attention to our biased media. Cops have been under siege, both literally and figuratively.

When did we start honoring people that apply and take a job that pays well, has good benefits and provides a pension?
I didn't realize they had it so hard!

What's the deal with the blue line painted down Montgomery st between the yellow lines and the red line painted on Newark Ave?
Is this part of Police Lives Matter and now Firefighter Lives Matter, too? Did this go through some kind of approval process? http://www.philly.com/philly/news/new ... nifying_or_divisive_.html
