Friendly reminder that blue lives don't exist.

You choose to be a cop you don't choose your skin color

Exactly. But the “blue lives matter” group only formed as a counter to Black Lives Matter so 🤷🏻‍♂️

So… what? The point remains that black lives exist, not blue lives.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at. In case my original comment wasn’t clear, I was (I guess too subtly) pointing out the problematic and racist origins of the blue lives matter phrase

You left the end of your statement unsaid so it wasn’t clear to me. It could be taken more than one way. Such as “Don’t complain that blue lives don’t exist, because if BLM hadn’t started it, blue lives wouldn’t even be a thing.”

Glad to know you didn’t mean it that way.
