From The Blaze:

Officers Edelmiro Garza, Jr., 45, and Ismael Chavez, 39, of the McAllen Police Department in Texas were shot and killed on Saturday. The officers were reportedly ambushed while responding to a domestic disturbance call at a residence.

Chavez was a former chemistry teacher and football coach, and the father to Savannah Chavez. The daughter of the slain officer posted several memories and heartfelt tributes to her loving father on Twitter.

...One post honoring her late father received much attention.

words cannot describe the pain I'm in, but I'm glad my dad is at peace. you were an amazing man and anyone who ever came across you knew that. I'm going to miss you so much. you died doing what you loved most, you died a hero. i love you daddy, see you soon. #BlueLivesMatter

Chavez has since deleted the tweet because it received insensitive messages from Twitter users because she used the hashtag #BlueLivesMatter.

One Twitter user responded to the tweet by saying: "I am so sorry for your loss but you didn't have to use a racist hashtag," according to Heavy.com.

"Blue lives matter was literally created in response to and to undermine black lives matter," another person wrote. "There's no other connotation unfortunately."

"Well atleast your pops is a good cop now, 6 feet in the dirt where he cant hurt nobody," a user tweeted.

"Rip to your daddy!!! But one cop down many more to go," another person responded.

Dozens of Twitter users responded to the tribute with "ACAB," which means "All Cops Are Bastards."

The people harassing Savannah Chavez are truly disgusting. They responded to her tweet. These were hate-filled messages to this suffering girl. She just lost her father!

Officer Chavez and Officer Garza were murdered while doing their jobs, protecting the community.

Savannah is grieving and these heartless people attack her, wanting her to hurt more than she already does. They are sick. I hope each person who wrote an ugly tweet is riddled with guilt for the pain they've inflicted on this innocent girl.

The lives of our police officers do matter. That's a fact. Yes, Blue Lives Matter.

As a Christian, as a Catholic, I believe ALL LIVES MATTER.

That is not a racist statement. It doesn't undercut anyone or any political movement, such as Black Lives Matter. It's what I believe. It's informed by my faith.

ALL LIVES MATTER, people of every race, religion, and age, from conception to death.

Of course, ALL LIVES MATTER.
