Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., introduced a bill in Congress that would make it a hate crime to target a police officer. Dubbed the Blue Lives Matter Act of 2016, the bill would expand the federal hate crime statute to include law enforcement officers who are targeted for acts of violence because of their jobs.
Buck said that the law would provide federal prosecutors an extra measure of authority in cases in which police are gunned downed and ambushed in the line of duty. “It would work the same way as existing hate-crime laws do which allow federal prosecutors to bring additional charges in cases in which victims are targeted for violent crime because of their background.”

You’re right he BLM is c**p. All lives matter, but come one Ron Hale lol do you really think police brutality is not a major issue especially among minorities?
John Koutsopoulos I concur just saying I am not certain if it rises to the level of a federal hate crime. The federal government inserts itself in many cases that are Clearly State issues!!
BLM protests police because of stuff like this
“You gonna pay for this Boy” Cops Mistake Hemorrhoid for Drugs,$#%&!@*Innocent Man in Public

Linda,
The fact is, since 9/11, 26 Americans have been killed by terrorists.
In that same time frame, well over 7,000 Americans have been gunned down by police and many more beaten/injured by them, even children!
I would say all lives matter and I think that any level headed person would agree. What this bill is intended to do though is to stop the thugs running the streets from running up and killing a guy just because he is in law enforcement. I think the bill in theory is a good bill made to protect officers, but in reality I don’t actually see it doing much. The people that are committing murders already know that’s illegal. So what they add a hate crime to it. A couple more years with the overcrowding in our jails and these scum bags will be let go. I am pretty sure that they all know what they are doing is wrong…. But as with most of this generation they don’t care about right and wrong, they care about who hurt their feelings last and they don’t care what actions they take or who they hurt they only want to get their perceived justice. No matter how skewed that perception may be. In the end of it makes one guy think twice before killing a cop I would say that it was well worth the law being adopted. However think of all the laws on the books now and how many of them are broken by these morons that don’t see anything but hate. I will not point fingers at any particular group here because I don’t think there is one group responsible for all of the problems. The best thing we can do is try to educate our kids and stop being so near sighted to what our children are capable of. In this day and age you have to understand that it’s all a popularity contest with people searching for likes on Facebook and views on YouTube and so on. They will go wherever the rest of the sheep want them to and not look at the puppeteer pulling the strings. In this case I would say the race baiters that open their mouths and destroy the unity of the nation. We are so divided as a country anymore that it is disgusting so when these race baiters start calling for the heads of cops. The little sheep will follow and get their hands dirty to further the political agenda of the puppeteers in D.C.

That has to be answered by case by case. Nothing is concrete. Yes, I do believe that very few officers are corrupt but very few. It’s just the lack of respect of young people of today. ALL LIVES MATTER. Growing up we had two parents households and there is a lot of single parents now that are working full time and a part-time jobs to take care of their families and there is no one there to help and watch the kids or support them.
Police officers, police dogs, and military!!!!
The liberal democrats support BLM and their attacks on the Police…… They callously disregard immigration laws and encourage riots i the name of “Progress” .
Violate their oath to the Constitution of the United States because it “Offends” them…… I will support the men in uniform because they have a thankless job and lack proper support from our leaders.
