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.

    when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.

    We don’t like it when you point out that we mercilessly kill people for no reason and then get a pat on the back and paid time off!

    This is the opposite of a police misconduct database.

    Get ready to be jailed for saying stuff like All Cops Are Bastards.

    Well, so are the judges and prosecutors if they allow this shit to fly.

      Exactly the line that stood out to me as well. There is way too much liberty in that wording, especially following a point of support for the death penalty.
