RICHMOND, Va. ? A controversial bill is moving forward during the current Virginia General Assembly special session.

On Wednesday, the Virginia Senate voted 21-15 to pass Senate Bill 5032, which would allow an assault against a law enforcement officer to a misdemeanor if the person attacked is not hurt.

Here?s the summary of the bill
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.

It?s not about defunding them.

It?s about eliminating the work force.

Anarchy.

I can?t stand cops btw.

The media has given a voice to people that have nothing in life. People that don?t want anything. People that feel America has betrayed them because they haven?t been given the things they want. Lazy worthless human shit. And our media puts them out there like they represent Americans.

Renting houses where you don?t have to deal with that type of shit. PM me for details
