While the Radical Left and Lamestream media glorify the riots being held across the country, there are many unspoken Americans out there supporting the men and women who keep our streets safe.
From Virginia to New Mexico, peaceful “Back The Blue” rallies have been held across the country with little fanfare from the establishment.
Chicago affiliate ABC7details one such rally going on in Illinois:
Hundreds turned out in far northwest suburban McHenry County as Black Lives Matter and Back the Blue rallies converged in Crystal Lake Saturday.

Although participants on both ends have different opinions, the dueling protests were peaceful.
Carol Tedesco, the daughter of a retired Chicago police officer, was among the 500 people who took part in a motorcycle ride and rally, showing support for law enforcement.
“You got to support the men and women in blue. They do a great job,” Tedesco said. “They’re getting beat up everyday on the streets, and it’s not right.”
Scott Merrill also attended the rally.
“There’s 1% of bad cops. That’s in any big demographic you have, and I just don’t think that every cop is a bad cop. I just want to make sure everybody knows that,” Merrill said.
The group is pushing back against what they call an anti-cop backlash since the death of George Floyd, a black man who was pinned under the knee of a white Minneapolis officer while in police custody.
The two protests crossed paths at a local park after the motorcycle riders stopped at several local police stations.”
Imagine that, two opposing groups expressing their opinions without violence.
If you watched cable news you wouldn’t even know anyone is out there supporting the police.
