Like I said, if someone is upset on Memorial Day because they know someone who died in combat I wouldn't say to them "All lives matter" because it makes it sound like you are saying that their specific mention or issue isn't, for lack of a better term, special.

Richard Sherman stood by saying 'All Lives Matter' few years back, and Hillary Clinton used that slogan as well with some backlash.

I could be wrong, but it gained some ground back in 2015 when those 5 Dallas officers were ambushed and murdered as well.

But overall yeah, it was to counter the BLM slogan, dont really know by whom tho.
