"Blue lives do not exist"

[madamesilverspurs]

from the article:

Infante’s cardboard sign read “‘Blue lives’ do not exist.”

“They don’t,” Infante said. “It’s a uniform you can take off at the end of the day. A Black life doesn’t get to take off their skin at the end of the day..."

There was a "support the police" rally in front of the police station, two blocks from my home. The newspaper article has a number of photos, none of which show the numerous Trump signs that were being waved. It does show one of the city council members who attended, but fails to mention his record of racist remarks and activities.

But the paper, rather surprisingly, noted the counter-protest across the street, and that's what this picture shows.

Our BLM marches and demonstrations have been advertised ahead of time and have been very well attended, which may have something to do with the failure of the "Blue lives" event to give prior public notice.

Anyway, since the governor announced the statewide mask mandate our local sheriff and police chief have stated that they will not enforce it. Welcome to a deep red part of Colorado.
