Good. It is a hate crime.
No it isn't. Take for instance someone who truly believes they are innocent, and they resist the people coming to put them in a cage. How is that a hate crime? It doesn't mean the person resisting hates the police, or has any prejudices or what have you towards them. It just means they don't want to go into a cage for no reason. Resisting arrest is probably one of the easiest charges for police to abuse, and I can't say I like it being made a hate crime with that in mind.
This is just a law made to pander to certain people. It's completely useless and possibly even harmful/counterproductive.
Well, I hate it.
I don't really think it should be charged as a hate crime necessarily, but I like the symbolism.
"This law is probably a bad idea, but it makes me feel good if I don't think about it!"
Just call me a liberal.
We've come full circle, then? Isn't that the entire Trump thing boiled down, anyway? And who knows? Maybe it will work on some weird Cybernetic Synchronistic Jungian mumbo-jumbo level. Personally, I give it a 15% chance of it being Morning in America, and about a 50/50 chance of this being some Hypernormalization (the set of social conditions of the late 70s/early-mid 80s USSR) 2.0
