Criticising Cops May Soon Become A Hate Crime, New Law Proposal

Fact checked

Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), has asked Congress to expand the hate crime laws in order to protect law enforcement employees – calling on members of the public who “targets” these individuals to be punished. 

The definition of a hate crime, according to Congress is criminal offence against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation”.

But Jim Pasco, director of the National Fraternal Order of Police has said that the definition isn’t enough. “Right now, it’s a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their uniform as well”.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the initiative is “something that we’ll have to consider.” Earnest said the task force on policing convened by President Barack Obama would consider the hate crimes idea.

According to dubious FBI statistics, the majority of hate crimes are motivated by racial bias. How is criticizing police racially bias?

Police across the country want Obama to make it a hate crime to speak out against DHS run police!

Remember the FBI has issued numerous dubious reports, such as the Anthrax attacks and hair analysis to name a few. Both of which resulted in putting wrongfully accused citizens behind bars.

Police & prosecutors are treated as gods in the eyes of the legal system.

“My thoughts and prayers over the past few weeks have been with the families of officers who were, with malice and forethought, gunned down just because they served as police officers,” Canterbury said. “Enough is enough! It’s time for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect us.”

The FOP has advocated for more than a decade to expand Federal protections for law enforcement by increasing the penalties on perpetrators who select their victims because they are or are perceived to be police officers. Congressional efforts to expand the 1969 law to protect victims targeted because of their gender, perceived gender or disability succeeded in 2009.

“Congress saw a need to expand the law to protect a group of our fellow citizens who we suspected were being targeted as victims of violence,” Canterbury explained. “In the last few years, ambush attacks aimed to kill or injure law enforcement officers have risen dramatically. Nineteen percent of the fatalities by firearm suffered by law enforcement in 2014 were ambush attacks.” Canterbury cited several attacks last year, including:

  • The assassination of New York City Police Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu who were shot and killed in their squad car;
  • Corporal Bryon Dickson of the Pennsylvania State Police who was killed by a sniper as he left his barracks
  • Detective Melvin Santiago who was slain by a suspect that assaulted a guard, stole his gun and waited for officers to respond so he could kill them
  • Las Vegas Police Officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck who were murdered by two killers while they ate lunch at a local pizzeria.

“All of these officers died because of the uniforms they were wearing,” Canterbury stated. “They were killed because their murderers had one purpose–to kill a cop. Enough is enough! We demand Congress act.”

  1. Muslims protected from Christians. Queers protected from straight people. Any one of color protected from whites. I feel for muslims because whites are rapeing all their women.Don’t get stuck on the facts.Queers are offended because Straight are always beating on them and Christians don’t believe in their lifestyle.People of color think whites spend all their time trying to figure what they can do against them and they are so offended. What in the world makes these people think that thinking about them is all we do. Talk about arrogance,Satan followers want everybody to get out of their world,They are so Christophobic as are the muslims.

  2. muslims,queers ,people of color and satanist are offended by every imagined thing.Now the cops want get in the act. If straight white Christians tell the truth about anything,it’s a hate crime.Now the cops want to cuss you out gang up on you ,tase you and beat the hell out of you or kill you,and if you object in any way they want it to be a hate crime.The only people who are not victims are the straight white Christian male.All we do is sit around trying to think how to offend these poor victims.
