What he\u2019s demonstrating here is either he is so engaged in profit or he simply is tone deaf to what\u2019s happening across America and the plight of American law enforcement officers who literally are being demonized and dehumanized by the left.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/24\/dan-bongino-defunding-police-dumbest-idea-history-liberalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Dan Bongino: \u2018Defunding The Police Is the Single Dumbest Idea In The History Of Liberalism\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sutton, who is the founder of \u201cThe Wounded Blue,\u201d said there are \u201creal world consequences\u201d for the \u201cabhorrent\u201d sale of products like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe \u2026 suffered the loss just this morning of a deputy sergeant in San Bernardino who was murdered in the line of duty yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The retired police officer said \u201cthe left\u201d is pursuing what he calls \u201cthe Triple D strategy\u201d against police forces: defunding, demoralizing and dehumanizing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy organization deals with injured and disabled officers all over the country. Those injuries are often psychological and emotional,\u201d Sutton said, adding that more law enforcement officers die by suicide than in the line of duty. He insisted that by selling \u201cBlue Lives Murder\u201d t-shirts and accessories, Amazon is saying, \u201cWe don\u2019t care about. We only care about an agenda on the left.
