Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is set to sign a bill into law that would classify any violent attack on police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel a hate crime. According to The Root, the so-called Blue Lives Matter bill is the first of its kind.
State Representative Lance Harris authored the bill after Texas sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth was shot and killed last year. “It looked like it was strictly done because someone didn’t like police officers, like a hate crime,” Harris told CNN.
“I certainly do think there is a need for it. If you’re going to have an extensive hate crime statute then we need to protect those that are out there protecting us on a daily basis,” Harris said. “There is a concerted effort in some areas to terrorize and attack police and I think this will go forward and stop that.”
In a statement, Anti-Defamation League Regional Director Allison Padilla-Goodman pointed out that crimes against police officers are already aggressively prosecuted under Louisiana law: “The bill confuses the purpose of the Hate Crimes Act and weakens its impact by adding more categories of people, who are already better protected under other laws.”
“Hate Crimes are designed to protect people’s most precious identity categories,” Padilla-Goodman said, “like race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, and gender identity. Proving the bias intent is very different for these categories than it is for the bias intent of a crime against a law enforcement officer.”

THAT COP KILLING WAS REVENGE. HE OBVIOUSLY MESSED WITH THE WRONG FAMILY.PASSING ANOTHER DEFUNCT “LAW” CHANGES NOTHING………………..
how bout a Bill passing against continual harassment from the Thin Blue Line against those of us paying their way ?
I think the Hate has been way more coming from them, than the other way around.. I smell fear… and Bacon
Defense against a bad cop or a police state thug -> Hate Crime.
How original.
What more proof does one need that the police state is ready to hatch in full (lethal) force? Don’t forget that if the shits hits the fan, them blue pawns (Obama’s civil army just as well funded, organized and armed as the regular army.) will be placed between the people and the people appearing to be in power that concoct the freedom repressing laws that step over the rights of the people.
Gun Confiscations in spite of the binding contract with the second Amendment? If you defend the Constitution & Bill of Rights and your rights against tyrants (Or the British pawns way back then.) You commit a hate crime.
Wake up people.. Smell the coffee. The beef is right before your eyes.
Ahhhh, the reassurance that history keeps repeating and repeating, since the origins and motivations of bullies, tyrants and power mongers stays the same.. Only the gadgets people play with change.
Well at least this way in a way the politicians admit that the enforcers of their dumb laws are hated and not because their mandatory dress style.

If im allowed to post this here , Its evidence that we are being fleeced at an alarming rate ,, this is the type of stuff they are finding out that the general public are sick and tired of .. they have become the highway robbers ,, the gangs , and the thieves that they once went after
if there isnt any money in a crime for them, they will not investigate or enforce it
hell, people from other countries such as Canada dont even want to come here due to the theft from the cops , we are stuck here to be used as a rolling piggy bank for these thieves ,, dont you wonder how much of this cash is even being reported? .. maybe its time to do an audit on every traffic cop and drug cops bank accounts and assets
