The "blue" is specifically about police, so it is not as generic as you make it out to be.

The expression exists in only two colour variants, blue and (the original) red. If he'd used the other, you'd probably have pointed out what a colonialist Victorian asshole T'so is, for identifying with the 19th century British army?

The expression itself is inherently quite generic; all the claims about it being "specifically about" anything are just people reading stuff into it.
