"If blue lives matter bills do nothing to improve police training, making new officers aware of bias and alternative strategies to keep the peace other than force, then blue lives will not matter. If blue lives do nothing to strengthen communities and solve issues without violent policing, then blue lives will not matter. The danger and distrust will continue and people will keep dying on all sides.

If the blue lives matter bills only serve as a legal and social assault on black lives matter activists and rhetoric, then they are not concerned with the lives of policemen and women at all. These bills are only a political farce adding trumped up charges in the name of an already protected population, increasing mass incarceration and perpetuating the status quo."
