Blue Law

[Jolly]

Modest proposal...Make it a federal crime to physically assault or intimidate an off-duty police officer or his immediate family.

Tweak that as you will, but something needs to be done to people who protest a cop at his home or single his family out for attack...

[Mik]

Absolutely.

Most states already have extra charges for assaulting officers. One of the problems is that other municipal unions get envious and push for the same protections, viewing it as a matter of respect from the city or state. Next thing you know we have two classes of citizens under law. Special laws for our civil masters servants just like we have special pension plans.

I’ll pass, thanks.
