Excerpted from above.

WASHINGTON - There are Amber Alerts to help find missing children and Silver Alerts to locate senior citizens who wander. Now three senators want a national Blue Alert system established to help apprehend those who kill or seriously injure law enforcement personnel.

Why do politicians feel the need to come up with new shit every day? Good, bad, indifferent, useless, costly, pointless... Doesn't seem to matter, as long as they're doing something EVERY DAY.

Yep.

I have quit paying attention to Amber alerts.  I've read too many times about them kneejerking an alert only to find out it was bogus.

What a waste of ink and money. You can rest assured, LE is pretty good at disseminating information to others agencies when one of their own is killed.

Ok, so 87 cops killed in six months makes this special why?



What's the national murder rate in the same period?

I'm afraid the overuse of these for a parent having not returned a child on time to their divorced spouse, has really diminished the effect of what was originally a great idea.

I want a yellow alert to denote Congress in session.  They should welcome the light, the broad yellow stripes down their backs will serve as camouflage.

We've already got Red Alert for whenever a time traveler goes back in time and kills Hitler, precipitating a war between the Soviets and Allies.

But what color alert do we use when another time traveler goes back in time and kills the first time traveler after he kills Hitler?
