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.”

But, by all means, lets give
The article is not about BLM the$#%&!@*that posted this is eliciting a visceral reaction from the simple mindedness.
A hate crime? Really? Now they’re treating cops like a race? It’s a job, they are employees of the tax payers, public servants!
People are so lost in their Stockholm Syndrome that they refuse to see what this bill is really about!
It’s already illegal to kill cops.
You have a constitutional right to kill a cop in self defense.
It’s considered an act of assault and battery if a cop attempts to arrest you without probable cause, attempts to unlawfully detain you, or conduct an illegal search on your person or your property without consent or a warrant.
You can legally kill a cop who violates your constitutional liberties.
This bill will make it a hate crime if you defend yourself against police brutality!
If you resist gun confiscation by shooting a cop, you will be charged for a hate crime.
COPS are the reason they are being killed by the BLM movement!
Cops started the war, Sharpton and Obama just capitalized on it and threw gas on the flames!
This is true and I went to The University of Virginia. Founded by none other than Thomas Jefferson.
ALL LIVES MATTER!!!
Thank you all for SERVING AND PROTECTING AMERICA! !!
P**s on the sidewalk like they do in New York or San Fran

I don’t think this needs to be classified as a hate crime. The last cop to get shot was a Black Officer in VA and the suspect was a Black guy. Is that a hate crime?
