I'm a retired firefighter. This title is obnoxious. Wearing the Blue is a choice. Being a person of color and being persecuted for no good reason is why Black Lives Matter. I am privileged to rescue people from death. But I am ashamed of some of my "brothers in blue" who have decided to use their authority to persecute innocent lives.
Thank you. For saving lives and for putting your life on the line. But mostlyThank You for not denying that there are bad apples in the basket who think that "Living While Black" is a reason to harras and even kill innocent citizens.
I have no problem with the project itself but I really think that you went with a poor choice of name, as it plays into the FOX news representation of BLM, as cop killers which they're not.
Agreed. I appreciate the police. I value the work they do. The police offers I know personally are extremely fine people. And this is a valuable and important set of photos. But appropriating the "Black Lives Matter" frames anything under it as deliberately antagonistic, moreso because it replicates the structural problem of the original name (While they mean "X likes matter (also)," it sounds like these phrases might be saying "(only) X lives matter," especially to people pre-supposed to oppose them.
Blue Lives Matter is a narrative for "BLM are cop killers"? I think you need to stop thinking so much about Fox news.
Really? It seems you do have a problem with the project.
You could have picked a different title....
