It is now just a misdemeanor in VA to assault a Police Officer

August 30, 2020 by Wayne Creed 2 Comments

RICHMOND, Va. – A controversial bill is moving forward during the current Virginia General Assembly special session.

On Wednesday, the Virginia Senate voted 21-15 to pass Senate Bill 5032, which would allow an assault against a law enforcement officer to a misdemeanor if the person attacked is not hurt.

Here’s the summary of the bill:

Eliminates the mandatory minimum term of confinement for an assault and battery committed against a judge; magistrate; law-enforcement officer; correctional officer; person directly involved in the care, treatment, or supervision of inmates; firefighter; or volunteer firefighter or any emergency medical services personnel and provides that such crime can no longer be committed as a simple assault and must result in a bodily injury.

Summary of Senate Bill 5032

The bill also removes mandatory minimum 6-month jail sentence for assaulting a police officer.

    According to FBI statistics, more than 5 thousand white American citizens, including senior citizens, men, women, children, and small babies, were murdered by black terrorists, in the United States, in the ten year period of 2010 to 2020.

    Now search Google for: 5,000 whites killed by blacks

    Brings up links for whites lynching blacks instead.
