All around the country, Democrats are working alongside BLM to demonize our police officers.
But we know the truth!
These are brave men and women that put on their uniforms each and every day not knowing what kind of violence they may be subjected to.
While Democrats may not have their backs, Republicans show their gratitude for the work our police officers do.
That’s why the governor of Georgia, Republican Brian Kemp, just signed a sweeping bill aimed to provide protections for police officers and first responders.
Check out the Fox News report on the new bill:
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law Wednesday a measure designed to offer additional protections to police officers despite opposition from a national anti-police brutality movement.
House Bill 838 makes bias-motivated intimidation of first responders a crime. It would apply to anyone responsible in the death or serious bodily injury of a police officer, firefighter or emergency medical technician, and to anyone who causes damage of $500 or more to property owned by police and first responders.
The crime is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. The measure says the sentence must be stacked atop any other related sentence, which could lead to long sentences for violations such as vandalism aimed at officers.
“During my time as Governor, I have attended the funerals of far too many law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty, Kemp said in a statement. “It’s absolutely heartbreaking, and we must act.
He called the legislation “a step forward as we work to protect those who are risking their lives to protect us. While some vilify, target and attack our men and women in uniform for personal or political gain, this legislation is a clear reminder that Georgia is a state that unapologetically backs the blue.”
Unsurprisingly, Democrats are up-in-arms over the new law.
Take Georgia’s self-proclaimed governor Stacey Abrams, who lost the previous gubernational race to Kemp. Here’s what she tweeted in response to the bill:
