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.”

Since 9/11, only 26 Americans have been killed allegedly by terrorists.
In that time, police have gunned down/literally beat to death over 7,000 Americans.
Who does media teach Americans to fear? Terrorists.
Who does the same media teach Americans to idolize and worship? The police who have killed more Americans than terrorists and more than the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq!
And you want to protect the real killers of Americans?
From a truly Constitutional freedom and liberty standpoint, you’re doing the equivalent of supporting$#%&!@*s Gestapo while seeing them as your “protectors” and thinking “if you don’t want trouble with the law, don’t break the law, Anne Frank! Don’t be thug criminals and break laws, Jews!” and possibly think you’re “defending freedom.”
Example, Peggy McKinzie Weatherford
I think you’ll argue against this and against true Constitutional freedom.
Death penalty if you kill a police man.
life is everything You are life,,, Please let all Citizens own and carry in public; weapons, body armor and future robotic companions for self defense and protect; innocent, weak, poor, indefenseless, helpless, all of humanity
Don’t get wrong here, it’s great that there is now a federal law making it a hate crime for targeting of cops but, the fact that they had to make it a law is just f-ing sad!! Personally if you target a Cop, Firefighter, EMT, Military, Veteran or anyone who dedicate’s there life to saving/protecting other (some of which frankly don’t deserve it & should be left for dead) then I don’t think we should even waist tax payer money on your trial, you should be shoot like in the old days!!!!
Ray,

Who does the same media teach Americans to idolize and worship? Soldiers and police when the police have killed more Americans than terrorists and more than US soldiers killed in Iraq. Americans are taught to idolize and worship the very agents of our corrupt, tyrannical govt’s injustice!
From a Constitutional freedom and liberty standpoint, a crime is only a crime when there is a victim yet there are over 60+ million laws, regs, and statutes which we the people are forced to live under in violation of our natural, God given Rights for which the govt often gives itself and the police exemptions while they regularly ignore “we the people’s” law meant to restrict them and their power, the Constitution.
Driver’s licenses, various permits, licenses, taxes and the f**e drug war are good examples of govt over reach and abuse.
From that understanding of the freedom and liberty with which we were founded, those who defend the police seem like those who, if this were Germany during WWII, would idolize the Geatapo for their ‘protection’ while thinking “if you don’t want trouble with the police, don’t break the law, Anne Frank! Stop being criminal thugs, Jews!”
Police have too much protection as it is! (See the Law Enforcement Bill of Rights)
This “war on police” is a myth! The war is against we the people!
They are a hate crime.
Absolutely agree and as it should be.. Someone needs to combat Black Lives Matter and the resurrected Black Panthers that were always a racist hate group so willing to kill, may as well be an addition to ISIS in their stance against America and Americans.
It’s about fucken time these idiot’s pulled. Their heads out of their asses
I remember when killing a Police officer was automatic death penalty. What happened? I lived in Florida for almost my whole life and Police officers did not fear for their lives daily. Bring it back
