After the Wethersfield Town Council voted not to fly the “thin blue line” flag this week for the funeral of TFC Aaron Pelletier, one family is taking matters into their own hands.

He read the Wikipedia definition of the flag during the meeting.“It says here it’s become emblematic of white nationalist, neo-Nazi, and alt right movements in the United States,” Forrest said. Det. Garten was killed in the line of duty in September 2023 when a driver fleeing a traffic stop slammed into a cruiser he was in, police said.
