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.”

Great!
Kill and be killed
Jerry Deaton Who in hell do you think you are talking down your BLM-supporting nose to me? Don’t p**s down my leg and tell me it’s raining! These evil thugs need just what I suggested. The sooner we stamp them out, the better. BLM means ” Brutal – Lethal – Mongrels! FYI, I probably read the Constitution (and underestood it) long before you were hatched! I’m not a “cop”” nor a $#%&!@*” I’m a combat Veteran of Korea & Vietnam (volunteerd for both), and my sense of right vs wrong is obviously better than yours; since you seem to condone the actions of these thugs!
Killing cop, touching a cop, spitting at cop, threatening a cop, all, should be a felony. No bail. a TRial by jury waivered. Only a three judge trial. quick and fast.
As it should be.there are some bad cops out there but all should not suffer for the bad ones
About time!
Should be mandatory death sentence
Yeah, we’ve got to protect$#%&!@*s brown shirts!
Your right, we need to protect them. They put their lives on the line every day, for you, me, your mother, your children, your wife for everyone. They deserve our respect and gratitude.
Definitely needed
