Went to the post office yesterday and when I pulled up I noticed that the POW flag was upside down and also there was also no American Flag on the pole. When I went to fix the flag, I noticed there was a "cleat knot" securing the rope (this is important). When I untied the knot on the pole I noticed what had happened, he pulled the flag all the way around to remove the American flag, honest mistake. But he failed to check his work. When inside, I confronted him about it. He said that he removed the flag because it was tattered, which is understandable, but he said that "it must have been a bunch of kids playing a prank" that turned the flag upside down. I told him "I doubt kids know how to tie a cleat knot". He asked if I was calling him a liar... I said no, I told him that he did it by pulling the flag through and that you need to pay more attention to detail. He stormed out of the cubicle and went in the office to call the police on me. He said I was "yelling and throwing my hands up". None of which I was doing. He proceeded to lie to the dispatcher and tell me to "get the fuck out" as seen on the video. The PD was very professional and understanding.
