GRAND LEDGE, MI (WKZO-AM) Senator Rick Jones says he will sponsor legislation that would make an attack on a police officer a hate crime.
Jones says hatred for first responders is on the rise and it’s time the state take a stand to support them.
Conviction on the felony count would call for the offender to get up to two years tacked on to their sentence for whatever other assault or resisting count the suspect also faced.
Louisiana has just approved their so-called “Blue Lives Matter” law, and several other states have proposals.
