(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Supporters of law enforcement gather at Back the Blue rally, Saturday, August 15, 2020 at Washington Square. On July 9, 2021, Garfield County prosecutors charged a 19-year-old from California with an anti-police hate crime after Deputy Cree Carter saw the woman “stomping on a ‘Back the Blue’ sign next to where [a] traffic stop was conducted, crumble it up in a destructive manner and throw it into a trash can all while smirking in an intimidating manner towards [him].”
