I dont approve of Hate Crime laws.
Over 50% of the males in my Family are Cops, so its not as though I nor they wouldn't have a vested interest in added protection for Police Officers.
But I believe in punishing the crime, not the motivation behind it.
Hate Crime laws already complicate court cases when they are used. It would be better to do away with them all together.

Absolutely not. We already have higher punishment for assault and murder of police officers. I'm afraid this will make it to easy to frame people or convict a person if they were acting in rightful self defense. Im not a huge fan of hate crimes in the first place but this is just way to much, cops already have power because of the relationships they have with prosecutors and each other. People don't seek out cops to assault or kill them, cops are killed or assaulted most often in desperation or wrongful self defense by the criminal, not because they are a cop but because they just happen to be shooting at them or trying to detain them. The criminal would be assaulting or killing anyone who would try to detain them. These offenders are given the rightful punishment of a federal felony and are often put in jail for life or put to death.
