Cruz knows that won’t get the votes because of all the slimey politicians rubbing each others backs instead of protecting the public. But I appreciate him trying.
Far as I'm concerned, mayors and governors who are fomenting these riots are already liable, and should do prison time for refusing to enforce the law.
Almost. They have this same crap in u.k. and it led to banning guns and knives. It could be taken as the state has a responsibility to protect you. While do out source protections to police, it does ultimately lay with the individual. However if we are paying for it then they need to follow through.
IMHO, there are way too many ifs, ands, and buts in order for this to become a law. If a city was acting at full capacity to control riots, they shouldn't be penalized.
Then, you have the school of thought that the police under certain circumstances can make things far worse.
Does it apply to people who are injured by police while rioting?
I'm Gemini, so one-sided made once every last rioter do you get a bullet in the head, while the other is asking what will happen if I ever need to riot, (which I'm way too old and fat to do).
Which is exactly why he’s doing it.
Pandering for votes.
Virtue signaling.
forcing a vote would get everyone on the record
These assholes avoid going on the record like the plague
A page out of their own playbook!
"I'll teach them." GEOTUS
Better than doing nothing at all honestly
That reminds me of all those votes against obamacare that ended up just being empty air.
It’ll pass if they add a couple billion of funding to npr
Probably not but most bills never have a chance in hell

even if so, taxpayers just pay the costs. Should be able to sue the politicians DIRECTLY if they fail in their duties

Another Senate bill that they know won't get past Pelosi's house. Just a way to get on Fox to talk about something.
It wont go through.. but it's good fodder to throw in the face of the Dems later on

There better be a fucking clause in there that excludes THE RIOTERS from these protections.
Ah yes, I'm sure the state and local officials of the Senate and House will vote for this immediately.
Does this include businesses and places of residence??
Last I heard it was only applicable if stand-down orders were given to cops by said state officials.
Irrelevant though because the House isn't going to pass anything until January, if even then.

It won’t pass but it’s a clever way to get democrats on the record not giving a shit about their constituents.
Anti-fag parents have dough. Go get them deep pockets.
Never will passed the house. So what's the fucking point.
So he can say he did something.
I am ok with that. Any day better than that mega swamp scums Linzie and Rubio.
