Blue Lives Matter, insomuch as it exists, was created in response to the Black Lives Matter movement following a surge of attention to police violence that followed the killing of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9th, 2014.Initially, the Blue Lives Matter sentiment was seen on Twitter as a cancellation technique of people who did not support the creation of Black Lives Matter. These Blue Lives Matter people were mostly comprised of police officers and their support staff, the family of police officers, racists, and right wing “law and order” types. Official creation of the Blue Lives Matter movement is said to have occurred in Brooklyn, New York, on December 20, 2014.The unusual comparison between being “Black”, which is a social construct based on melanin levels in the skin, and being “Blue”, a profession entered into by choice, has been noted repeatedly by it’s detractors.“Criticized by the ACLU and others, the movement inspired a state law in Louisiana that made it a hate crime to target police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical service personnel. This law has been heavily criticized for extending hate crime law protections outside of characteristics such as race, sexual orientation, or gender identity, to include career choice.Also, evidence that violence against police officers is decreasing has been used to call into question the motivations for the law”.Source: Blue Lives Matter - WikipediaThe movement has adopted a symbol that consists of a black and white representation of the United States Flag, with a single blue stripe crossing it’s middle.According to the law enforcement website Police One, “The provision of the Flag Code that opponents of the Blue Line flag say it violates is:The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.Violation of the Flag Code originally contained a criminal penalty of a fine and up to one year in jail. But in 1990, in U.S. vs Eichman, addressing flag burning, the Supreme Court invalidated the federal law against flag desecration as violating free speech under the First Amendment. The current amended U.S. Flag Code has no penalty provision and is considered advisory flag etiquette.Supporters of the Blue Line flag are not insensitive to the Flag Code’s standards. They argue that it's not a desecration of the American flag, because it's a completely different flag. But in numerous places where it's sold online, it's called the Thin Blue Line American Flag or the American Thin Blue Line Flag.So, before a department sanctions displaying a Blue Line flag, administrators may want to consider that, while not illegal, many citizens, including those who strongly support law enforcement, have a negative reaction to this appropriation of the American flag. They may also want to consider whether they think it violates the U.S. Flag Code's standards”.Source: 3 things to consider before you raise a Blue Line flagBlue Lives Matter exists today as a primarily online entity. Gatherings have been held by supporters of Blue Lives Matter on occasion, but to date they have been relatively small and infrequent, at best.

There are already several good answers to this question, but they tend to be locale-centric. Each one of those job titles can mean something different, depending on where it is used.Bailiff: this is usually a court officer who provides security, and may escort prisoners to and from court, book people remanded from court into the jail, and provide other services as the judge may direct. In most jurisdictions, the bailiff is a deputy sheriff or local police officer who is detailed to the court for that assignment. In that case, a deputy sheriff or police officer and bailiff are the same thing for that day, or for the duration of the assignment. When that assignment is over, the officer or deputy might resume duties on patrol, as a jail officer, or whatever other assignment his agency had for him.I was a full-time bailiff, with that job title, for two years. The municipal court had, at that time, two bailiffs assigned to each of three court departments, and the judge in each department could appoint anyone they chose to that position. I transferred from the police department to the bailiff position. As a peace officer, I had the same police powers as a deputy sheriff or police officer. In addition to providing court security, I also acted as a kind of misdemeanor probation officer, supervising people who had been sentenced from the court to perform community service, attend counseling, pay fines in installments, etc. Almost all the bailiffs were former police officers or deputy sheriffs. The bailiff function is now performed by a city marshal’s office, with deputy marshals serving as bailiffs. When not serving as bailiffs, the deputy marshals attempt to serve arrest warrants issued by the courts, and transport people arrested by local police and deputy sheriffs to the jail, freeing up the officer or deputy for other assignments.Peace Officer: this is an all-encompassing term that, in most states, describes everyone who has arrest powers, can serve warrants, and can can carry a concealed weapon, e.g. police officers, deputy sheriffs, sheriffs, bailiffs, marshals, troopers, constables, and so on. In a few states, notably New York, a peace officer may describe someone with some subset of police powers, such as the ability write citations or tow vehicles. All police officers have peace officer powers, but not all peace officers have police officer powers.Peace officers are often classed in one of three levels, each corresponding to their training. Where this system exists, a Level I peace officer is a general service law enforcement officer—police officer, deputy sheriff, state trooper, etc. A Level II peace officer has less training than a Level I has. Level IIs are usually second-line officers, such as fire marshals, bailiffs, probation officers, etc., who have enforcement powers but do not generally respond to emergencies. Level III peace officers work in jails or prisons. One can generally work in an assignment below their level of training, but not above. When I went from police officer to bailiff, my Level I certification allowed me to work in that job. Had I started as a bailiff, trained at Level II, and moved to police officer, I would have had to complete a full police academy to get Level I certification.Those level classifications don’t exist in every state, and they may be called different things.Marshal: generally, a marshal is an enforcement officer who works directly for the courts. The U.S. Marshals Service provides security and other services to the federal courts, and pursues fugitives who have been charged or convicted in court. City or county marshals generally work as court bailiffs or may serve arrest warrants in the field.The term gets a bit more confused as fire service personnel who have enforcement powers are often called fire marshals. Fire marshals often perform arson investigations and may enforce other fire laws, such as occupancy limits. At large sports and performance venues, like stadiums, local laws may require a fire marshal to be present during all events to ensure that occupancy limits are observed, that fire exits are not blocked, and that other fire safety codes are observed. Fire marshals generally (though not always) have peace officer powers, and carry firearms. They’re usually firefighters who have promoted or transferred to that job, and they have to complete at least a Level II law enforcement academy within a year of appointment.Constable: this one really varies a lot. In Canada and the UK, “constable” is the generic job title for general service law enforcement officers. You address a Canadian officer as “constable,” where you would call an American officer “officer” or “deputy.”There are constables in the U.S., but their function varies widely. Some jurisdictions have elected constables for each court district, city, or county. They may serve as general service law enforcement officers, serve warrants and court papers, such as subpoenas, and seize property as ordered by the court (such as when civil judgments are not satisfied). These duties may overlap with local sheriff’s offices or police departments. There is a system of Pennsylvania State Constables that is long-established, but I’ve never been clear on what they actually do. There are Texas constables who serve each court precinct (so there may be multiple constables in a county, and Texas has 254 counties), and in some cases they patrol the highways in uniform, doing traffic enforcement and drug interdiction.Nevada had a system of elected constables for each township (there might be multiple townships within a county), where the constable would serve court papers for a fee. The constable was often paid a small salary, but he could keep whatever fees he generated from service of process, and appoint as many deputies as he saw fit. All constables and deputies had peace officer powers. There was something of a racket with the elected constable appointing unpaid deputies who had zero law enforcement training, and the deputies had badges and could carry concealed weapons (this was when concealed weapon permits were often hard to obtain). The deputy appointments were often a quid pro quo arrangement. There are still some Nevada constables, although they seem to be getting phased out and their services provided by the local sheriff’s department. The largest constable’s office, in Las Vegas, has been abolished after some controversial activities there.Deputy: the most common type of deputy is a deputy sheriff, analogous to a police officer in a police department. When someone is “deputized,” they gain the powers of the person doing the deputizing, e.g. the elected sheriff. Deputy sheriffs are generally addressed as “deputy,” not “officer.”Because sheriffs often have a duty to run the county jail, many deputy sheriffs begin their careers working as correctional or jail deputies before they move to patrol (and some remain working in the jail). In some agencies, there may be a separate job title of “correctional deputy” or “jail deputy,” and those employees always work in the jail unless promote to a patrol or “road deputy” position. This is an important distinction in many agencies, as correctional officers are generally inferior in the pecking order as compared to regular law enforcement. Some sheriff’s deputies wear a winged emblem on their collar (this is very common in Florida) that distinguishes road patrol deputies from jail deputies.Under the posse comitatus (“power of the county”) doctrine, the county sheriff could deputize any able-bodied man to form a posse to assist him in pursuing fugitives or quelling riots. It was a crime to refuse to be deputized. Today, many sheriff’s departments still have sheriff’s posses, but they tend to be volunteer organizations, often formed of equestrians, who may or may not assist with search and rescue or other sheriff’s operations. Sometimes the sheriff’s posse is strictly a ceremonial unit that you will seldom see other than in a parade.Other law enforcement positions can appoint deputies. Line employees of the U.S. Marshals Service are deputy marshals, and are addressed as “deputy.” The actual U.S. Marshal in each federal judicial district is appointed by the President of the United States, usually on the recommendation of that state’s congressional delegation.Sheriff: the sheriff is an elected office. Most counties have elected sheriffs, and cities in some states have sheriffs. The sheriff is the executive of the sheriff’s office or department (most agencies use one term or the other, but the terms are interchangeable in meaning). The law enforcement officers he appoints to work for him are deputy sheriffs.The sheriff usually has a (state) constitutional duty to run a jail and provide services to the courts. He may have no general law enforcement duties. Some counties have both county sheriff’s offices and county police departments. The county commission can hire and fire the county chief of police, but cannot fire the elected sheriff. If the county has both a police and a sheriff’s department, you can bet that at some point in history, the sheriff and the county commission got into some kind of dispute, and the sheriff was relegated to jail and court duties.Most California sheriff’s offices are fairly big operations, with jail, patrol, detective, special operations, search and rescue, and air and/or marine patrol units (depending on the size and location, of course). The LA County Sheriff’s department runs the largest jail system in the world. The San Francisco County Sheriff’s Department is the exception, as the city and county of San Francisco have the same boundaries. The SFPD handles law enforcement duties, so the sheriff serves runs the jail and provides staff to the courts.

You might want to get educated,… and I don’t what you have read or have not read but here are some folks, myself included who would argue that guns absolutely have their place.Plans to slay everyone in the Muskegon, Michigan, store and steal enough cash and jewelry to feed their “gnawing hunger for crack cocaine” fell apart for a band of would-be killers after one of their victims fought back.

Early Texas Peach House Shooting (RV PARK KILLINGS: 'Witness shooter' recounts shootout with gunman who killed two in Early)Of course, when a mass shooting is stopped by an armed citizen, there are not as many victims.

Abraham Dickman had a history of anger against employees of the AT&T store in New York Mills, New York. On May 27th, 2010, he walked into the store with a .357 and a list of six employees. He shot the first employee, but was stopped from further attacks when Donald J. Moore, an off duty police officer who was allowed to carry his own handgun when not on duty, drew and fired his .40 caliber, killing Mr. Dickman before he could fire any more shots. AT&T store (WKTV News)College Park, GA, May 4, 2009. Two gunman entered a party and ordered the men separated from the women.
