Blue lives matter.

That's it. End of story.

It doesn't matter how old you are, the color of your skin, or even where you come from. What matters is that they took an oath to protect us at any and all cost and that takes guts, especially in today's messed up world. People fighting against them, this is not easy to deal with. Especially when death could be an end result on either side. I'm sure many of them pray to be able to make it home to their families after every shift.

I'm not saying every cop is good either, so don't take it that way. There good and bad cops just like there is good and bad in the world. There will always be darkness but there will always be light too. You cannot group them together just because there are some bad ones in the mix. I can guarantee you don't like being grouped together in any way for one persons actions. You know why? Because one person shouldn't represent everyone else.

So if you are against blue lives matter and backing the GOOD cops there are remember that you are next time you dial 911. Because if you don't support them why should they help you? Oh that's right, they will because it is their job to protect you and anyone else who is in need of assistance. They will do anything they can to save and help you or anyone you know. They are trained to do what they think is right in that moment. What they do requires quick thinking, none of it is easy.

So please back the blue because they will back you.

I am not suddenly writing this for Officer Justin Martin and Sargent Anthony Beminio, although that did hit close to home, I am writing this for them all. Every single police officer who has been slain for nothing, just out of pure hate. Their lives mattered.
