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.”

One thing, please make it a capital crime!
Well duh…..you pretty much have to hate someone to try to kill them..
and just how often does a black or a latino killed by a cop is unarmed??? funny, you didn’t mention whites!

It is more than “just a few bad apples.” Our entire legal/”justice” system, which was designed to only protect each individual’s natural Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, has been perverted into an injustice system in which our natural rights have been usurped, laws created to extort us for money and property and our Rights have been converted to privileges by govt then sold back to us through permits, licenses, taxes, etc.
Given that is the state of our current system, how can there be “good” cops who enforce bad and unjust laws? Would a truly good man do so?
Our modern police began as slave patrols and their job hasn’t changed much since now we are all slaves to the state and treated as nothing more than human revenue/tax cattle. That is not how America was created.
As it is, if you’re rich, or a cop, you can rape children and get, say, 6 months in jail but a single mom who used cannabis to treat and cure her cancer faces 30 yrs in prison for possessing an extract from an illegal plant.
Does that sound like justice to you?
If anything, the mom should’ve been left the hell alone since she hurt no one nor did any damage, etc and the cop should get the 30 yrs.

To be fair, I think the “all lives matter” part of his comment answers that.
Here is a fact for ya: there have been 26 Americans killed by terrorists since 9/11.
In the same time frame, over 7,000 Americans were gunned down by police.
Who are Americans taught to be afraid of? Terrorists.
Who are they taught to idolize and worship? The police.
Go figure.
And they did so because he was a former cop who reported police brutality!
“Hate crime” is BS in the first place.
Either something is a crime or it isn’t. Why start with the “this is a super duper special” kind of crime junk when the so called justice system is the injustice system as it is?
????
Huh?
Byron,
Guess who sponsors violence at BLM rallies.

Just like the 5 police officers who faked attacks to show a so called “war on police!”
Police do target blacks, btw, and single them out.
I’ll show you an example next that is even pro second Amendment, pro open carry.
I will say all races are targeted and usually, it is the poorest people who are.
(No, I’m not liberal if that is what you’re thinking)
That is simply the facts.
