How stupid can anyone be? That’s lending revelence to a group that should be dissolved for inciting race wars as well as a danger to police officers everywhere! ALL lives matter!

Where can I get one of those targets?.../s

Walmart refused to pull the BLM merchandise, just the bulletproof items. They are still anti cop except when they need those folks. They still are not selling Blue Lives Matter merchandise. They are crap.

I just checked and they are still available at the online store.

I saw Blue Lives Matter apparel at the online store just now.

[Mr. Douglas]

But still wrong to make money by stirring up hate and promoting BLM domestic terrorists.

I get that it’s morally wrong, but it’s none of the police’s business any more than selling playboy is.

[Mr. Douglas]

So it’s not “the police”. It is some police “group”. i.e. they are not acting in their official capacity.

[Mr. Douglas]

I’m a black and white thinker and sometimes don’t mix very well, conversationally, with other people.

In this case, the only issue I was addressing was why the “Police” had a say in what they sell if it is legal to sell it.

I agree that I would not want wal-mart selling such stuff. And as it turns out it was not “the police”, in their official capacity. Rather, it was an affiliation of police officers, separate from their official duties as police officers, expressing disapproval of what Wal-Mart was selling.

I have no problem with that. Sometimes it helps to click on the article and read the whole thing.

“What law, specifically, are they violating?”

Probably no legal law. But the law of business may be another matter. You don’t tick
off a portion of your customers if you can help it.

What.s the problem with letting the hood hoodie go on sale?

Judging by the body count in Chicago, Philly, St. Louis, etc, the bulletproof thing is a straight up stupid illusion.

Not exactly a bad thing, as I see it..

[Uncle Sam 911]

Excellent!
