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.”

The penalties are all ready higher when an officer is killed. This bill only proves this country is in a police state. All lives matter. If you kill someone you go-to prison. Regaurdless of you race or profession.
Applause!!!!
More has to be done to protect 0UR POLICE OFFICERS. I hope more and more states will introduce bills to stop people (Black Lives Matter) and make them think more about the consequences of there actions.”Blue Lives Matter”, catchy name.
Blue lives matter
Absolutely a hate crime! Take back our country america! Savages are no longer pampered!
Number of Americans killed by terrorists since 9/11: 26
Number of Americans gunned down or literally beat to death by police since 9/11: 7,000+
Who does media teach people to fear? Terrorists
Who does the same media teach Americans who to idolize and adore? The police who killed more Americans than terrorists and more than the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq!
Looks like the war is against “we the people,” not police.
It’s about time the politicians got some backbone, but is our chicken$#%&!@*president is going to sign it once it if passed.
SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN THAT WAY!!!
They are confused, no one kills more blacks then black people.
