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.”

Excellent comment!
Kudos!
Exactly!
The whole legislation/ movement was based on lies of two gay reporters over the death of a gay man who, truthfully, was killed in a drug deal gone wrong. (Matt Shepherd, if memory serves) however, it was portrayed as a hate crime against gays.
Ironically, another young man was kidnapped, raped and, I believe, killed by two gay men. His story got a mention in the back pages while the Shepherd “hate crime” story captured headlines.
I say that as someone who is pro freedom and liberty. If what someone is doing isn’t hurting/killing anyone, causing damages against another, etc, they should be free to make their choices and live their life as they see fit.
Bill does not go far enough. Solace and closure too a crime is all fine and good but eradication of Blm and their rhetoric would be better. Work on keeping our officers alive in the first place, not increased punishment , criminals like Blm don’t care
Just FYI, Bryan.
Guess who has sponsored violence at BLM rallies as they did Baltimore and elsewhere.

Police have too many protections as it is and, literally, gotten away with murder.
See the “Law Enforcement Bill of Rights” (LEBOR) as an example of more unconstitutional, freedom and liberty killing legislation that only empowers America’s police state.
Ummm did you actually take the two seconds to read that “article?” You sir are the problem. Now kindly$#%&!@*off.
