 FACT: On the right shoulders of the police uniforms worn in Paradise  are American flags with the blue fields w/ stars on the upper left.  This is the standard and correct position of the flag when on the  left shoulder. When the American flag is worn on the right shoulder  the blue field w/ stars should be in the upper right corner. Picture  the flag on a pole and if the person was walking forward the flag  would be blowing backwards behind them.
