'Enough is enough': GOP senator unleashes bill with severe consequences for harming police

Ohio freshman GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno has introduced legislation that would increase the criminal penalties for harming a police officer after a sheriff’s deputy was killed in the line of duty in Cincinnati, Ohio, earlier this month.

Moreno’s Larry Henderson Act, being introduced this week, would update existing law stating that anyone who forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any law enforcement officer engaged in official duties be required to face one to eight years in prison, depending on the severity.

Moreno’s bill would up that mandatory minimum to 20 years.

The bill also "establishes federal jurisdiction over these crimes as exclusive and preemptive, superseding state or local prosecution for federal officers."

#2 While you are at it, how about putting more teeth in the Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law. Lots of TikToks out there of LE breaching basic rights.

#3 Sorry, but there's already *plenty* of laws on the books. What we seem to lack is a willingness to enforce them fairly and evenly.

#4 Means nothing. Harsh penalties which aren't enforced do not change behavior. Minor penalties consistently enforced do.
