A Safer America Starts with You

‘Back the Blue’ rallies spreading nationwide despite ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘Defund the Police’ rhetoric

All across America, we are seeing rally’s being organized in support of law enforcement. This comes at a time when policing has come under fire after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis back in May.

Critics have rioted and called for reforms causing many police officers to feel disheartened and underappreciate.

As The Patch reported, in Wantagh NY this past week over 1,000 people gathered for a march in support of Law Enforcement.

ACT For America note: ACT is now organizing 76 rallies/events in over 32 states.

The article stated:

“More than a thousand people participated in a rally in Wantagh on Sunday to express their support for police officers and other law enforcement agents. The demonstration comes in response to activist calls to reduce funding for — or even abolish — police departments, and nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism.

“The Sunday rally began at Wantagh High School and moved to the Wantagh Long Island Rail Road train station. Marchers waved American flags and held signs showing support for police officers. The marchers were escorted by Nassau County police.”

Also, this past weekend rallies were held in Omaha, Nebraska and Fredericksburg Virginia, with hundreds of people attending to show their support of law enforcement.

Vice President Mike Pence will be in Pennsylvania this upcoming weekend and one of his stops will be an FOP Lodge in Philadelphia.

Penn-Live reported:

“Pence will take a bus tour from Lancaster to Philadelphia, including taking part in a roundtable discussion at Rajant Corp., a suburban Philadelphia maker of wireless communication technology, his office said. Then he will speak to Philadelphia police officers at their union hall, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5, in the city before they hold a ‘Back the Blue’ rally.”

These rallies are proof that there is a silent majority out there who are in support of law enforcement and want to do something to show their appreciation.

Back in late June there were similar gatherings to show support for police officers and they were met with some resistance, as police protesters arrived to voice their disapproval.

The Boston Globe reported that during a pro-police rally being held on back on June 27th at The State House in Boston, protesters who were attending a separate march arrived and taunted the 50 or so people who were peacefully rallying to show support for law enforcement.

Law Enforcement Today brought you a story earlier this week in which Ohio State Representative Jay Edwards (R) attended a “defend the police” rally in Athens, Ohio. Edwards was followed to his car and assaulted with bottles and spit on by counter-protesters.

See that story below.

Organizers of these rallies as well as the citizens who are proudly attending them are crucial right now. Members of law enforcement need to know they have support.

The mainstream media is only showing America the anti-police movement, not covering anything showing support of law enforcement. If you went by what the mainstream media is telling you, a person could easily believe that there is little to no support for the police whatsoever.

We know that’s not true.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to attend a rally in support of the police during these tumultuous times and you can almost guarantee there will be people there to protest the police. The fact that people are still making signs and waving the Thin Blue Line flag is indicative of their need to be heard.

They have sat in silence for too long and watched as their police officers have been attacked, verbally, and physically.
