Originally posted by SurturAttacking a cop due to perceived police brutality issues in the country is a hate crime, to be fair. Plenty of good cops out there just doing their jobs. I assumed the penalty for attacking a cop would be pretty steep anyway, though?
So in Louisiana they have apparently made a law that makes attacking cops a hate crime. It has been dubbed "Blue Lives Matter".http://patch.com/georgia/atlanta/blue-lives-matter-needed-or-not-0
I guess I'm confused because I'm pretty sure attacking a police officer already comes with a heavier punishment then attacking a random civilian.
edit, we pretty much made the same point there, haha
