  1. The buffer zone law is merely a way for Law Enforcement to justify their harassment of journalists. The worst abusers of the statute will be the smaller, less professional, lower standards police forces.

  2. This law is a good law. People need keep a distance.
    Police need to be able to do their jobs safely and effectively.

    The anti police social justice pukes hate the police until they need them.

    1. So you say all journalists are pukes? It’s obvious we’re dealing with a Rhodes scholar.

    2. It hasn’t occurred to some people that for some people, whether well intentioned or for
      ill will can get in the way of police trying to do their jobs.

      Big city police departments all over the country are having a horrible time trying to hire and retain police officers since the BLM movement & riots. You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to understand why.

      And yes, there are many leftwing journalists that helped fuel the fires of 2020.

    3. Police departments could be having trouble hiring and retaining officers because they’re finally being held accountable for their actions at work, like 95% of those of us who are employed. Many officers were able to get away with a lot for a long time.

      Anyway, violent crime has been falling even with less officers. Let the rotten ones quit, be fired, and stay away from the profession all together. Our country is over policed anyway, but it’s a necessary evil since one party is obsessed with having everyone armed with a gun.

  3. Wesley,

    No doubt that there are bad apples in every profession. Law enforcement
    included. The bad apples need to be weeded out. Especially in a profession
    where they are entrusted to carry guns and use lethal force if needed.

    Violent crime has fallen in many cities, but not to the pre George Floyd levels.
    Not by a long shot and certainly not in most Dem Progressive run cities.

    Big city Police departments all across the country are having a horrible time
    recruiting, hiring, and retaining police officers since the George Floyd protests and riots.
    Especially in cities where BLM/Antifa were the most active and violent. AND! Those cities have NOT seen a decline in their violent crime at all. Think
    Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and others.

    Applicants applying for positions on police departments has plummeted to their lowest levels.

    The horrible spike in shootings, murders, and other violent crimes happened before the new gun laws were passed.

    The rules of the game since the BLM/Antifa rprotests and riots definitely
    benefit the criminals. And, the criminals know it.

  4. First, we heard “police bodycams” will record all of the misconduct. Now we find that the “Body Cams” are documenting the excellent but difficult situations encountered by Law Enforcement on a daily basis. So, where do the unhinged left turn next. Oh, I know, we have to be able to record it ourselves …. from inches away. What next? I can only imagine. Support law enforcement!
