RICHMOND, Va. — State officials in Virginia ordered the removal of a large American flag from a construction site ahead of the Fourth of July, calling it a potential target for people protesting racial injustice and police brutality.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of General Services said officials asked a contractor to take down the flag from a new office building for state lawmakers under construction in Richmond.
The Washington Post reports that the decision angered a subcontractor whose fireproofing company used tarps to make the flag.
The flag was approximately one-story tall.
