California congressman and Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Eric Swalwell crossed a line with some people Wednesday after he posted an image of a “thin blue line” flag associated with the “Blue Lives Matter” movement.

Some activists perceive the “blue lives” image to be in conflict with the Black Lives Matter movement that arose after a police officer in 2014 shot and killed Michael Brown, a black man, in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury declined to indict the officer for the shooting.

“BlueLivesMatter” was also a target of Russia’s 2016 disinformation campaign, aimed at tilting the election in President Donald Trump’s favor, as reported by the website Daily Beast.

the Black Lives Matter movement that arose after a police officer in 2014 shot and killed Michael Brown, a black man, in Ferguson, Missouri.

A phony movement dreamed up after a false account (hands up don’t shoot) of the shooting hit the Leftist Press.

A pathologist hired by Saint Michael Browns parents confirmed the police officer’s account of the shooting.

Thug and criminal Brown had attacked the officer in his car and tried to take his gun. The officer shot him and he ran away. The officer exited his car and ordered Brown to stop. Brown turned back toward the officer and was charging the officer when the officer shot him dead through the top of the head, the only way the wound could have been received according to the pathologist.

Even after being proven to be based on a lie these movements never die.
