Harris authored the bill after the murder of Darren Goforth, a 47-year-old Texas sheriff who was gunned down at a gas station “because he wore a uniform.”

The gunman approached Goforth, a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, from behind unloading bullets into him even after the officer fell to the ground.

Don’t know much about this Bel Edwards Democrat governor in Louisiana, but I was surprised to see he would sign a bill protecting cops.

Must not be on the same page with his party’s leader, who invited one of the leaders of BLM—those who chant slogans wishing policemen dead—to the Oval Office.

What’s signing an addendum to a “hate crimes bill” going to do to stop these killings? OK, I see...the perps will be shaking so badly in their boots they won’t be able to target the police. Got it.

I believe these laws to be unconstitutional. Equal protection of law requires that everyone be protected against murderers by the same laws and legal procedures.
