The Perry Police and Firefighter Benevolence Fund has started a new campaign to raise money for its fund supporting public safety officers injured or killed in the line of duty and their survivors by selling decals and bumper stickers reading, “Blue Lives Matter.”
The benevolence fund, founded by Perry businessman Bob Boyle, is not connected to any public agency but is privately managed by a board of directors devoted to the support of public safety officers who sacrifice themselves for the sake of the community.
Boyle said the decals sell for $2 each and are available at the following retailers: Bluejay Market, Stokely Lumber Co., BTWI, Naylor’s Service, Harland’s Hardward, Perry Chief, Don’s TV and Perry Floral.
The slogan, Blue Lives Matter, is a direct rejection of the claims made by the Black Lives Matter movement, Boyle said.
Supporters of Black Lives Matter often note that young black men are five times more likely than young white men to be killed by police, and that while African Americans make up only 13 percent of the population, they are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers.
According to the 2016 Law Enforcement Fatalities Report, there were 135 officer fatalities in the U.S. in 2016. The report is based on preliminary data compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).
According to the report, law enforcement fatalities nationwide in 2016 rose to their highest level since 2011, when 177 officers made the ultimate sacrifice.
According to NLEOMF, firearms-related incidents were the number one cause of death in 2016, with 64 officers shot and killed across the country. The number represents a 56 percent increase over the 41 officers killed by gunfire in 2015.
Of those 64 firearms fatalities in 2016, 21 were ambush-style attacks, the highest total in more than 20 years, the report said.
In addition, 34 police dog deaths occurred in 2016.
