Police across the country are trying to make it a hate crime, to criticize first responders or to resist arrest even if they’re innocent! (first responders are police, firefighters and EMS personnel.)
According to Louisiana’s new law, citizens who criticize first responders can be sentenced to prison for up to six months and given a $500 penalty. If convicted of a felony, they can receive an additional five years and fines up to $5,000.
What if a cop grabs a protester’s arm and they make a movement the cop considers aggressive, a minor disturbing the peace charge could be bumped up to a hate crime! Once a person is charged with a hate crime, they’ll be sentenced to an additional 5 years behind bars. (Lawmakers in eight states are trying to criminalize protesting).
A newly enacted Oklahoma law makes any “assault” on an off-duty cop a felony even if they’re acting in self-defense against a drunken off-duty cop. Any physical contact with a cop is considered a felony.
Still doubt this is really happening?
Yesterday, an Oklahoma woman was charged with inciting violence because she called police “pigs”.
Police also, want to arrest Americans based on ‘sentiment analysis’ of their Tweets.
Americans are being arrested for committing future crimes
Special Order S10-06 allows police to arrest Americans before they commit a crime.
Arresting Americans for criticizing police is a mistake
America incarcerates more people than any other country in the world. Each year 636,000 people walk out of America’s prisons while nearly half a million haven’t even been convicted of committing a crime! Our justice system is one big money-making revolving door.
From coast to coast, police want citizens arrested for criticizing first responders:
Colorado citizens aren’t allowed to resist an unlawful arrest
Law enforcement officers turned politicians want to arrest Americans for criticizing police
Last year, congressmen Ken Buck introduced H.R. 4760, which makes attacking a first responder a federal ‘hate’ crime. Buck worked as a prosecutor for 25 years, where he arrested and charged hundreds of people with hate crimes.
Also last year, a former Massachusetts cop turned politician Alan Silvia, tried to make it a hate crime to criticize first responders.
The Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Chiefs of Police both want to arrest citizens that criticize police.
This legislation would treat any perceived ‘crime’ against first responders an act of hate and add another 5 years to a person’s sentence because of it.
As I mentioned last year, the war on cops is a lie. The reality is, the average number of cop killings has been falling since the 1970’s. The truth is, the deadliest time to be a cop in America was forty years ago!

Police across the country make “value judgments” about hate crimes
It’s only a matter of time, before it will be illegal to criticize first responders in America.
Do Not Resist

Are Police Allowed To Lie?
http://caught.net/testilying.htm
I really don’t think they want us to go quiet
I sure would worry if all the sudden a civilization that was subjugated and abused for so long went silent
That’s when you know your a$$ is about to get stomped
I know how I was when I got pissed and had enough schitt out of someone
A politicians prayer to cops….
O praise him for all cops are kings.
I will praise You, O COP, with my whole heart
Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day
You are a Prince of Peace You are the Word of God
Police now ARE a protected CRIMINAL CLASS. Off course they don’t want to tolerate criticism. They are a bunch of petty tyrants. They have a higher vocational safety than “HOME MAKER”, and they are mad about our complaining about their ATROCITIES? That means not only are they criminal organizations, but they are also COWARDS!!!!!
Anyone here who’s been reading my posts knows that I detest US police and see them as the scum of the earth. I’m also very much opposed to “hate crimes” laws of any sort, no matter which group(s) those laws are intended to specially protect.
However, in the interest of accuracy, I have to note that there’s a huge difference between making CRITICISM of police a “hate crime” and making it a “hate crime” to commit an act against police that would already be considered a crime (e.g., assault). The latter appears to be what’s actually taking place.
For example:
*** According to Louisiana’s new law, citizens who criticize first responders can be sentenced to prison for up to six months and given a $500 penalty. ***
I skimmed over the proposed law at the link and saw no text regarding the mere criticism of cops, but only extra “hate crimes” charges for committing crimes against them.
Joe, can you provide a direct quote (with link) of any proposed or actual law that actually attempts to outlaw CRITICISM of police?
Needless to say, if any such law truly passes and there is any attempt to enforce it, that should be a clear line in the sand. I will NEVER peacefully submit to arrest for mere speech. That’s one of those essentially rights I will unregretfully die fighting to defend.
As a number of Appeals Courts have held, generally a judge may enhance a person’s sentence based on illegally obtained evidence, like a hate crime because the exclusionary rule does not apply at sentencing. Which essentially means we’re all screwed!

The Enforcers of tyranny must bare the brunt of the peoples resistance to it.
Pretty much sums it up right there
Don’t like the heat? , get outa the kitchen
Or better yet , don’t start nothin , won’t be nothin
BMF, there are no ‘Blue Lives Matter’ laws that directly say criticism of police will result in immediate arrest. But as we all know and I used one example of a woman calling police “PIGS” which got her arrested. This is the direction we’re headed.
A Google search on “man arrested for criticizing police” returned 9.4 MILLION hits.
I’ve worked on cases and read articles about police arresting citizens for saying things like police suck or cops are assholes. A Google search for “man arrested for swearing at police” returned close to 1.5 million hits.
And a Google search for “police arrest people for future crimes” returned 1.2 million hits.
Understood, Joe. I just wanted to verify/clarify that there aren’t any official laws against criticizing the police
As you mention, there’s no doubt that the pigs will make up a reason to bust someone who calls them names or otherwise annoys them. The trumping up of charges against people they don’t like is very typical pig behavior, and it’s one of the many reasons why all honest people of good conscience hate US police.
On a side note I’ve pointed out numerous times, that it’s your word against a cops. firefighters etc. All they have to do is claim you said something threatening and next thing you know you’re being charged with committing a hate crime. Everyone needs to know how F***ed up alleged hate crimes really are.
“A newly enacted Oklahoma law makes any “assault” on an off-duty cop a felony even if they’re acting in self-defense against a drunken off-duty cop. Any physical contact with a cop is considered a felony. ”
In which case you may as well shoot the POS ICM enforcer dead on the spot.
A FELONY will remove your ability to do so (with a ‘LEGALLY OWNED’ weapon, at any rate), as well as the freedom (such as it is these days) to accomplish said community service.
