A copycat organization of Black Lives Matter to promote respect for cops and if perhaps named completely different, would not be regarded as an eye roll for the Black Lives Matter movement, kinda like a copycat store from China. All this makes people wonder whether they actually care about police lives (they could have come sooner) or just out to make trouble. Rolling it out right after the Black Lives Matter movement was not only insulting, but a terrible PR move as with such copying of the original movement into what is now seen as an indirect movement against them does not make there position seem stronger, but a lot weaker. Likely, had it been named differently and came out way before the ORIGINAL BLM movement, maybe it would be a lot more popular. But given that did not happen, it is no surprise it's not taken seriously by many.

Get the Blue Lives Matter mug.A phrase used to send respect to the "Boys in Blue" (police), that originated in late 2014 after the killing of on-duty officers. The movement's ideology is the opposite of ACAB, and believes that all police deserve respect, and that any offense on killing an officer should be registered as a hate crime.
Though not always, the phrase is usually used as a counterphrase to "Black Lives Matter", or "BLM", because that movement typically embodies anti-police ideologies.
Their flag is usually the US flag using only the colors black & white, along with a blue stripe replacing what would be a normal stripe, or just a Thin Blue Line over a black background.

"Hey, did you see the news story where a single officer took down over 3 criminals after a traffic-stop-gone-wrong?"
"Damn. The people chanting ACAB always seem to forget that Blue Lives Matter, and they nearly always do good rather than wrong."
