I've never heard of a "blue alert" before. Turns out it's a department of justice thing. https://cops.usdoj.gov/bluealert

While my heart goes out to anyone hurt in the line of duty, I'm in total agreement that this is a extreme over-reaction to the public.



The purpose of blue alerts is to broadcast copaganda, period. It's not a solution to any problem.


100%, this alert went out because an officer was injured and for some reason that means that they get to see blood and just kill anything in sight legally.

I promise you there are and your country is better for it.
