‘Blue Lives Murder’ T-shirts for sale on Amazon stir outrage

T-shirts emblazoned with the message “Blue Lives Murder” are for sale on Amazon — and the founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC is demanding they be taken down, arguing that the message puts offic…

It is true!
Amazon.com: Teebeep Blue Lives Murder - Police Brutality, ACAB, 1312 1 Shirt: Clothing

I just sent Amazon a note saying how disgusted I am with them. Promptly after that I canceled my Prime membership and told them again when they wanted an explanation of why I canceled.

It's interesting reading on the reviews of that shirt. 7 pages of scathing reviews and they had blocked reviews from everyone unless they were a confirmed buyer.

Suck it Amazon!

This goes WELL beyond that. Between that pelosi thing with the flag, and this now. It's not been a very good day for me. Pretty much complete denigration and trashing, of two of the most important institutions, in the entire effing United States!

Just pointing out some irony @Mikej....sorry you are having a bad day....

Hate what it says, but do we protect a persons right to say it? I hope they sell zero shirts....pathetic.

The shirt is absolutely disgusting and another sign of how crass our society has become. Yes, they have the 1A right to create such garbage. It is the same that protects my right to call the creator a number of choice words; essentially all of which totally inappropriate for NWFA, so I will refrain from expressing said here.

Post up a "white lives matter" shirt design on there and watch how fast it gets pulled.

Soooo...
A long time ago when I was in High School....
A popular tee- shirt had the saying : Black by popular demand.
Me being the smart azz that I was ( and still am ) wore a tee-shirt one day that stated :
White is right

Guess who got to go home early that day and had a 3 day suspension....?

Now for the record I do not think that any one race or ethnic group is popular by demand or right...just 'cause of the fact that they are a particular ethnic group.

I wore the shirt to see what would happen...and make a statement of why is one okay but the other ain't if I was called out for my shirt.
Seemed like a big deal to me at the time....Not so much now...but its been a few years since then.

As for the shirt in the OP...
Well you can buy it and wear it...
You may even think that what it says is true....
But...

I would also ask that you consider the thousands if not millions of law enforcement officers who go about their duties each day , all without murdering anyone ...
In fact if it wasn't for them doing their duty more murders or other crimes may have been committed.

I just hope that people will refuse to support a company that makes money off of something that is so wrong. And tell them why they have canceled their service.

What kind of a person, Jeff Bezos, can make money from such a vile lie?

The same kind who can make money from selling faked celebrity porn and gore

With all that is going on these days I no longer have the energy to be appalled.

I refuse to wear anything that sponsors anything, I'm not a billboard, I'm not being paid to advertise something for someone else, nor will I ever wear something political. I don't care for brands, and there are several who I actively avoid, Nike, Levi's, most all sporting, and such, they made their anti rights positions known, so I'm making my patriotic position known!
Simple solution! @Mikej , I totally understand your frustrations, when big businesses go out of their way to be political, controversial, or simply arrogant, they need to be reminded that we as consumers control their fortunes, and if we are displeased, we can and will take out business elsewhere!
