As promised, here’s the table of current federal bills aimed at protecting police officers. For a deeper dive, I encourage you to check out my full article.
Please note that this is an independent analysis based on research, conversations with knowledgeable people, and interpretation of the bills. I’m not a legal scholar and by no means do I claim to know everything.
I also don’t deceive myself into thinking that the Protect & Serve Act (the bill that I’m lobbying for) or any piece of legislation is a panacea. It is, however, a meaningful solution and a solid step in the right direction of restoring law and order.
So again, I respectfully ask that you urge your Congressperson to co-sponsor this bill (H.R. 743). As overwhelming as things seem right now, this is a legitimate opportunity to start righting this ship.
There are things in this world that are completely out of our control. Getting H.R. 743 passed is not one of them. We do have the power to lobby Congress.
Best. : )
For the Blue is a solutions-based initiative. I’m just an American patriot asking questions. I don’t work with any political party and I answer to nobody. For me, the health of the nation, due process (including for police officers), the rule of law, and respect for individual liberties, will always transcend party affiliation. I welcome your thoughts, even if you disagree; though personal attacks will be ignored. You can reach me at fortheblue@substack.com.
Thank you, Paula!
