Insult Cops? Kentucky bill proposes 90 days in jail

This is a direct attack on people of color who exercise their 1st amendment right to assemble and protest. This is beyond disgusting. People have the right to question authority.

They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

If anyone wants a 1st amendment violation with a neon sign attached here it is.

They should just call it "hate speech" and then it would be OK, wouldn't it?? Then they could also make it a federal offense.

So you're saying that only blacks insult cops? Sounds pretty racist...


Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

This was done as a response to the BLM marches!

Violation of free speech or is it a violation of hate speech?

I believe this bill falls into the hate speech category which punishes someone for committing a hate crime.

There is no well apples to oranges or well that’s different. Hate is hate!

Unfortunately the definition of Hate Speech has already become a slippery slope. Saying some words are a hate crime. Saying other words isn't.

There will never be a legally agreed list of what is, and what isn't. Two jurists can have two different opinions of the same word.

It's worse than that. SOME PEOPLE saying some words are a hate crime, but OTHERS saying those same words are not.

Another proposal from the party of small government gone wrong, it will surly meet it's end in The Circuit Court.
