A new trend emerging in regional legislatures governing subdivisions of the United States are efforts to protect "law enforcement" officers by passing "Blue Lives Matters" laws making attacks on police subject to enhanced penalties as "hate" crimes. Apparently the existing mechanism for enhanced penalties, which work because attacking a "law enforcement" officer is already its own unique additional criminal charge, aren't working. Tensions between "law enforcement" and the public are high for a number of reasons. Peace in our time.

The state governments have quite a long way to go before they can be a match for the federal state of the art re: 'special' penalties dealt out for victimizing 'special' victims.
Sure the Feds have ADX Florence, but Louisiana has Angola Prison.
This will totally work.
