What is the Blue Lives Matter Law? Blue Lives Matter is a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statutes. It was started in response to Black Lives Matter after the homicides of New York Police Department officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in Brooklyn, New York on December 20, 2014. Why is this Movement and Law Important? There is huge controversy around this movement because of the recent "Black Lives Matter/All Lives Matter". People of different races, ethnicity, background, and belief systems all have different perspectives on every single one of these movements. |
Gained- Family members and Friends have peace of mind that there loved ones who serve to protect will be safer when on the streets. Politically speaking, countries around the us are gaining laws to help protect law enforcement officers when on the job.
Lost- Hate crimes are not good for anyone. While you are black or white or against the police or support them, there will always be someone who disagrees and out of them a few will go to lengths such as killing a officer to make a statement and/or protect themselves if they feel necessary. A lot of voices were lost in this movement, what I mean is there are some many perspectives around this that there is a no wrong or right, there are all bias yet valid opinions.
