    I don’t subscribe to the whole never forget thing. But this is still in poor taste. 3000+ people did die that day.

      The shock value is the point. It’s supposed to juxtapose how the #alllivesmatter people feel about 9/11 VS deaths at the hands of police. The point of the meme is NOT that those 3000+ lost are not valuable, rather that #alllivesmatter is insensitive, not the point, and not useful.

        Thank you for sharing that interpretation. That view had not occurred to me.
