Ví dụ

A Vancouver city councillor (hội viên hội đồng) is defending his decision to wear the controversial (gây bàn tán/tranh luận) thin blue line patch that critics say symbolizes division and has been linked to some far-right movements (phong trào cực hữu).

The thin blue line image depicts (mô tả) a greyscale (thẻ xám) Canadian flag, with a blue line across it. Supporters say it honours fallen police officers, while critics argue it represents police power, and was overtly used as a racist (phân biệt chủng tộc) symbol, particularly in the U.S., in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“As a veteran (cựu chiến binh, người từng trải) of the Vancouver Police Department, Councillor Montague wears the patch as a memorial for the many friends and colleagues that he and countless other officers have lost over the years — We stand by Councillor Montague’s choice to wear the patch,” Sim wrote. “We condemn (kết án) those who attempt to redefine or co-opt the thin blue line symbol for hatred or political purposes.”
