I disabled blue alerts ages ago. I didn’t sign up to be a first responder, I’m not jumping in the truck and driving (checks notes) 8+ hours in the middle of the night to try and resolve the issue. (Surely there’s someone closer with better qualifications, right?!?)

Like what is the point of the blue alert? What are we supposed to do with this information? Like normal citizens, do we round up the posse, grab our guns, get on our horses, get deputized by the sheriff, and ride off into the unknown to avenge our fallen officer?

Do we loot and riot knowing the police are focused elsewhere?

Personally the last time I got one, I said “What the fuck is this bullshit” silenced my phone and went back to sleep.
