Why Troy Aikman’s ‘Back The Blue’ Tweet Is So Tone-Deaf After This Horrible Week(BARF!)

To start, he didn’t even mention the two black men who were killed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Huffpo, what would you expect? Still adding fuel to the fire. Troy, maybe you shouldn't bother to tweet things like this. To start, do NOT apologize for your tweet.

There is nothing wrong with expressing sympathy for five murdered police officers. That’s part of expressing human compassion. Screw those who pretend not to get it. People who are geared up to hate cops will continue to do so, regardless of what one person does or doesn’t tweet.

you mean the criminal who got in a fight with the police after pulling a gun on a homeless man and the criminal who was a Crips member and robbed a store two days before?

Sorry, huffington, no sympathy for you.

Blue lives matter

LOL! Sadly, for Troy, it’s a lose/lose situation now that he commented at all. Public figure beware.

Why should he bring up the two criminals who were killed in police action shootings? The purpose of his Tweet was to show sympathy for the cops who died on the job.

I saw a nifty pre printed placard(probably a union shop) someplace on the news yesterday that basically said if you don’t join in protesting then you have chosen to side with the “oppressors”. Something to that effect. Ergo, Troy is siding with the cops that go out and shoot blacks for sport. Lib logic. What can’t it come up with?

Is there anything more pretentious than a hyphenated name?

What is beyond sad is the ton of false and or misleading info fed to people by the libs and the anti police media. They run with rumor and blast it around as fact, later retracting commentary very quietly. It is almost as if they want to inflame. The old adage if it bleeds it leads on the news is in vogue.

When I used to monitor “demonstrations” long ago, I noticed once the TV media knew there was going to be a demo, they took their sweet ass time setting up their cameras. It was like they were inviting people to act (out) for an audience.
It never failed. As soon as they either went on the air or began taping, the loonies would come out. Put a mic in front of some asshat and he would spew some crap and ramp up the crowd. It was so manipulated to make one sick.

The country has been beyond subverted by most of the media. The info age with its immediate social networking now has replaced any time to reason out what is going on and deliberate over it before taking action. Lack of impulse control takes over. Rumors can stoke very tragic events. We live in a time of insanity.

I am pretty upset Aikman did not mention my Uncle Roscoe, who died the other day, he was part-Cherokee.. I think he has something against the Redskins...

Why didn't he mention them? I don't know but maybe because the Dallas police officers had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the earlier shootings, you mindless ditz.

The victims in Dallas were innocent. There is evidence to suggest that the "victims" in the earlier incidents weren't. I'd explain why to this moron but she's too stupid to understand how the facts don't fit her preconceived narrative.

Huffpo and all the other race baiting rags really should be ignored in total these days other than to discredit them like this (thank you).

One wonders how these people sleep at night. I guarantee these black guys were giving the officers attitude which causes them to kick up their adrenalin and go into a hyper alert state thus giving them a hair trigger in case things go sideways. Cops are, after all, just people too. Better trained on average but still fallible.

I don’t believe either one of them was looking to kill anyone. When red flags go up in an officers mind; he must listen to them and trust his or her gut.
