'For President Trump, and for us Republicans, all Black lives matter and the lives of (4-year-old LeGend Taliferro), (17-year-old Brandon Hendricks) and (1-year-old Davell Gardner, Jr.) matter to us,' Giuliani said. 'All lives matter to us.'
"For President Trump, and for us Republicans, all Black lives matter and the lives of LeGend, Brandon and Davell matter to us," Giuliani continued. "All lives matter to us."
Giuliani accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of being a “Trojan horse” for “pro-criminal, anti-police, socialist policies.” Other RNC speakers have also said Biden is anti-police, but Biden’s past remarks don’t support those claims. While some on the left have called for defunding police, Biden has repeatedly pushed against that call. Biden has also called for an increase in police funding to address racial profiling.
“Last night, Vice President Mike Pence stood before America and with a straight face said, ‘You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,’” Biden tweeted today in response to last night’s convention. “His proof? The violence you’re seeing in Donald Trump’s America.” Giuliani addressed viewers directly, warning that they could see the “lawlessness” in their cities. He also said he has “no question” that Trump will fight to preserve “our way of life.”The message has come at a particularly tense time in the country as protests in Wisconsin continued several days after police shot Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, in the back. Blake's family has said he is paralyzed. The shooting has rarely come up at the Republican convention this week.
The controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing method in New York City, which has been heralded by Trump as part of his tough-on-crime message, began in the New York police department during Giuliani's time in the mayor's office.

Blue Lives Matter Supporters Say Kyle Rittenhouse Not Reflective Of Most Peaceful Apologists For Police StateNEW YORK—After an AR-15-wielding teenager was charged with the first-degree murder of two protesters in Kenosha, WI, Blue Lives Matter supporters told reporters Thursday that Kyle Rittenhouse’s actions did not reflect the nonviolent tactics favored by most police-state apologists. “When you see us out there waving ‘thin blue line’ flags and menacing the public with semiautomatic rifles, please know that the majority of us are just peacefully expressing our support for a system in which police officers are allowed to kill with impunity,” said Blue Lives Matter activist Gordon Hamblett, explaining that the movement did not stand for lethal vigilante violence, but rather for lethal state-supported violence carried out in the name of keeping people safe. “Do we sympathize with this 17-year-old police admirer’s desire to live out a long-nurtured militia-man fantasy of patrolling the streets and administering justice? Certainly. Does the real blame ultimately lie with the people who were shot for failing to obey his orders? Of course. Nonetheless, we cannot condone Rittenhouse’s decision to pull the trigger without a badge.” Hamblett added that anyone who was considering mowing down innocent civilians on a public street should at least enroll in a police academy first.\n
