For those of you keeping track of liberals thought trends:
Out: Defund the police
In: Assault the police
During a special session in Virginia state legislature, the Democrat controlled senate voted to pass SB 5032 which would allow an assault against a law enforcement officer to be only a misdemeanor if the person attacked is not hurt.
“Eliminates the mandatory minimum term of confinement for an assault and battery committed against a judge; magistrate; law-enforcement officer; correctional officer; person directly involved in the care, treatment, or supervision of inmates; firefighter; or volunteer firefighter or any emergency medical services personnel and provides that such crime can no longer be committed as a simple assault and must result in a bodily injury.”
Interestingly assaults against politicians aren’t apart of the decriminalization bill.
Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton points out, “...Liberal politicians are endangering police officers and fueling the riots in our streets.”
