Results: National Police Association Requests POTUS to Add Law Enforcement Killings to Federal Hate Crimes Law

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) February 27, 2018 -- The National Police Association is calling on President Trump to propose expanding the current Federal hate crimes law to include law enforcement officers in response to the recent acquittal of an admitted cop killer by a Pennsylvania jury. "February 16, 2018 a Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court jury found Ray Shelter, Jr. Not guilty of Reed's murder. Not guilty despite Shelter admitting that he shot St. Clair Township Police Officer Lloyd Reed while the officer was responding to a 911 call made by Shelter's girlfriend. Witnesses testified that Reed ordered Shelter to drop his rifle, and fired when he did not comply. Shelter shot at Reed three times, hitting and killing him with a shot that impacted outside Reed'sbody armor. Shelter testified he did not know Reed was a police officer." Are you familiar with this story?

Do you agree with the request, that killing law enforcement officers should be added to Federal Hate Crimes Law? and not only to prevent acquittals?
