Called the “Back the Blue Act,” the bill makes it a federal crime to kill, attempt or conspire to kill anyone in law enforcement, including federal judges, subject to the death penalty, with a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years for murder and a minimum sentence of 10 years for attempted murder.
Many other Bills all across the US are being set by lawmakers to protect themselves and officers more. That widens the gap between police and public, and that’s not a good thing. With police brutality on the rise you’d think more transparency and accountability would come in play. However, we see just the opposite with bills like this being introduced.
This path of destruction will only get us more tyranny. Putting we the people on a lower shelf according to law, when in fact, it should be just the opposite.
If police kill people, that should be a higher offence than anything. I bet that would help accountability.
Cornyn’s bill also would expand the use of federal grants aimed at improving relations between law enforcement agencies and the communities they protect; allow officers to carry firearms in federal buildings and other places where they are currently prohibited; and place limitations on the appeals process for convicted murderers of police officers.
More money and laws will not get us more police protection. In fact, that will lead to more tyranny. We need more police accountability.
Sadly, if you are against this bill you’ll be labeled as anti police when clearly there is a bigger picture.
With more and more events like these taking place we can expect more and more lawmakers to come up with such to create more protection for government.
People fail to see what’s really going on. People are getting pissed off at government so they make laws to protect themselves. That’s a scary thought.
