Murder\u201d merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter sent to Amazon\u2019s Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky of the Detectives\u2019 Endowment Association (DEA) demanded that the company stop allowing the \u201cdisgusting\u201d merchandise to be sold, arguing that it puts cops \u201cat peril and risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has come to my attention that your website is selling tee-shirts (sic) and other items emblazoned with the words \u2018Blue Lives Murder,\u2019\u201d the letter read.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s disheartening that your company would allow this disgusting motto on your sales platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter further demanded that the online retail outlet immediately remove the items, arguing that the phrase\u2019s \u201conly purpose is to invite further division, hatred, and violence toward the hard-working men and women of the nation\u2019s Police Departments, who are toiling every day to keep their communities safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo continue to hawk products emblazoned with this vile phrase puts the lives of Police Officers, and all law enforcement nationwide, at peril and risk,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the New York Post, <a

Lives Aren\u2019t Real\u201d<\/a> are also for sale on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase \u201cBlue Lives Aren\u2019t Real\u201d is nearly identical to statements made by NAACP chapter president Bishop Talbert Swan, who said last year \u201cthere is no such thing\u201d as a \u201cblue life\u201d because police choose to do their jobs whereas black people do not choose the color of their skin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as BLUE LIVES\u2026 Stop comparing your JOB with my LIFE\u2026 Your CAREER is a choice, my BLACKNESS isn\u2019t. #BlackLivesMatter\u00a0 #BlueLivesMatter,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one deserves to be unjustly murdered, police or citizens,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf you\u2019re expressing outrage over the shooting of two sheriff\u2019s deputies, but we\u2019re [sic] defending #KyleRittenhouse murdering two protesters in #Kenosha only days ago, you need to shut up and have a seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Talbert Swan\u2019s tweet came after two sheriff\u2019s deputies were shot in their patrol car parked by a metro station in Compton, California and he was not the only activist to respond to the news without sympathy. Following the incident, far-left think tank The Gravel Institute said that \u201cblue lives\u201d simply don\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Saturday night, soon after two Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies seated in their patrol car were shot in the head\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/two-sheriffs-deputies-shot-in-los-angeles-in-ambush\">in an ambush<\/a>\u00a0in Compton, a leftist think tank called The Gravel Institute responded to a tweet stating, \u2018Say it with me: blue lives matter,\u2019 by replying, \u2018Say it with me: they don\u2019t,\u2019\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/after-two-la-cops-shot-in-close-range-ambush-leftist-think-tank-answers-blue-lives-matter-by-tweeting-they-dont\">reported<\/a>\u00a0The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>While some cities, such as Minneapolis, have taken measures to defund the police, other states have put in measures to prevent such a measure from happening. For instance, the Texas House recently passed a law that penalizes cities that seek to defund the police.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lets-back-the-blue-texas-house-passes-bill-cracking-down-on-cities-that-defund-police\">\u2018Let\u2019s Back The Blue\u2019: Texas House Passes Bill Cracking Down On Cities That Defund\u00a0Police<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
