Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice’s top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.
That must be the limit. You shall only beat officers nearly to death with an American flag, any more than that and it’s illegal. Seems reasonable.
But don’t you dare express your right to free speech by (correctly) identifying a cop as a bastard!
