I was driving the other day and saw a notification for a “Blue alert”. I never heard of one before. Turns out it’s like how we have “Amber alert “ for missing kids and “sliver alerts” for missing seniors, a “blue alert” is for someone who may be a threat to law enforcement officers. Why do we need a special alert for criminals that harm cops? Why are cops prioritized over everyone else?
Idk. Why isn't it the cops job to take the bullet for you?
Because, sometimes, it's good to laugh.
Yeah. This is in a city where the police abandoned a police station because they were forbidden to use tear gas on peaceful protesters in the area. In a densely populated residential area where people were complaining about the gas getting into their apartments. They tried to say the protesters were violent and using incendiary devices which turned out to be prayer candles.
No wonder they can’t solve any crimes. They can’t even read the fucking room.
Lmao. Plywood is a great aesthetic!
Couple of months ago there was a blue alert that went out across most of Texas, hours after an incident, with the most generic possible description of a dude, and it was like 4am. Useless, illegal, and disabled the alarms on my phone so I was late for work.
Assuming its a perfect, unbiased cop, it would be more useful to save someone whose job is to save lives compared to a random person
There is a reason, even though it may not be a good reason
