I know you want to cheer for this, and I understand why. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is not only making police out to be racist thugs, but they're getting cheered on by the media and no small number of politicians in so doing. The response from police that #BlueLivesMatter is not only appropriate but far more pertinent considering that most of the time police are accused of racist attacks on blacks they have engaged in nothing of the sort, while the effort to tar all cops is intentional and insidious.
But I'm not so sure about what Louisiana did yesterday, and it's not because I don't like a law that give special protection to cops. I'm all over that. But this "hate crime" business? Eh . . .
