Louisiana is considering a bill that would amend the state's hate crime law to include law enforcement officials, such as police officers and firefighters.
House Bill 953, which is being dubbed "Blue Lives Matter," passed the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday with no opposition and will now go before the Senate, according to The Times-Picayune. Once past that final vote, it will be up to Gov. John Bel Edwards to sign the bill into law or not.
