Now COPS want violence committed against them to be considered a hate crime. Notwithstanding that no one ever catches a break when someone commits assault, much less kills a COP. The whining by the police unions is laughable.  They don't ever want to be held accountable for their abuses.  When politicians do try to hold them accountable, the unions tell their membership to effectively not do their jobs.  File federal lawsuits when their members are place on PAID administrative leave when they shoot and kill unarmed suspects over 137 time hitting each over 20 times in Cleveland.

I'm a pro-union guy, but these guys take the cake.

That hate crime legislation is ridiculous and absurd on its face. I am against the police going down this road but it was liberals that opened this door.

Now, are you with me on ditching hate crime laws altogether?

I do not support hate crime legislation.  Crime is crime

Murdering a gay man is not worse than murdering a straight man. Murdering a cop is not worse than murdering a non cop, and the list goes on and on.

Maybe you are ready to reconsider your position on unions as well?

I love this, just when I was about to write this board off as a waste of time, we make a major, major, breakthrough. lol

Can we also agree that while "equal" rights are a great thing, "special" rights are not?

Many Libs love them some hate crime laws so its nice to see some smarter ones break from the pack.

Yeah this one never made any sense to me. We punish people in the U.S. based on their actions, not their thoughts. Thoughts are protected, actions are not.

And why give a "discounted" punishment to an a-hole just because he doesn't yell some derogatory racist name at his victim before he stabs them to death?

Its punishment with the backing of the PC police, so you know its inherently flawed.

fatgirl, Hadji, Pimples, nugay, Fungy et al.

It's nice to see someone agreeing with someone across the aisle about anything.

So no one cares what a GOP extremist thinks and your party is already being exposed as fools!

Your comebacks are almost as lame as Fungy's.

The moment any civility and/or rational conversation breaks out here, someone like fatgirl, Hadji, or Pimples feels obligated to say something stupid and partisan to ruin the moment.
