It's not fake. A Tennessee State Trooper was shot on I-40 in Cookeville and the TBI issued a Blue Alert. The problem I had with it was difficult to open and initially was only identified as a "public safety alert" not the usual Amber Alert. That got my attention because I had never seen one of these before. Maybe I'm following current events too closely but in the 8 minutes it took to open the two alerts my adrenaline level was high enough I doubt I get back to sleep before time to get up.

Folks, save yourselves a lot of grief and TURN YOUR PHONE OFF about 1 hour before you go to bed. Ninety-nine percent of these alerts don't affect us individually in any way, and sleep is more important than being up to date on events that you have no control over.

Whatever issues these alerts are telling you about will still be there (or not) in the morning.

My alert was in Tenn. a Statewide alert. Suspects shot a State Trooper, alert has their car info.

Went off on my Iphone SE on one carrier, and my sites Android phone on another carrier at the same exact second. Weird...

Why do you think it's fake?

What's that all about?
