Did an Eastern Kentucky police chief go too bold with large “Blue Lives Matter” decals featuring the Punisher skull?

Catlettsburg Police Chief Cameron Logan had the decals placed on the department’s eight patrol vehicles in December and local residents praised the decision, according to the Lexington Herald Leader.

But Logan would soon reverse the decision after media coverage prompted “others in the commonwealth” to raise questions.

The Punisher skull is popular with military units and was featured in the blockbuster film, “American Sniper,” the story of American hero Chris Kyle.

The deign was approved by the town’s mayor and city council, although one council member, Richard “Andy” Brown, echoed sentiments held by those eager to denounce law enforcement in his opposition.

“I just think it’s a little bit strange,” Brown said, after raising concerns about wasting taxpayers’ money. “There’s been a lot of people mistreated by police, and their lives matter, too, like that guy in North Carolina.”
