They could have said Green Lives Matter because of the uniforms, but then people would get confused whether they meant space aliens or Green Party members.

How about Brown Lives Matter, again because of uniforms? Oops, sounds a bit too much like supporting People of Color and muslims and Mexicans and hispanics and 44th Presidents and all. Can't have that.

Ah, I know, they could say Red Lives Matter! They'd be supporting Republicans.

Oh, wait, maybe they aren't all fans of the Washington Redskins.

Well, back to the drawing board.

Pink Lives Matter?
