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?
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.

Idk. Why isn’t it the cops job to take the bullet for you?
