There also are plenty of laws against assault, murder and the like, but somehow we need the federal government to pass more laws, e.g., the George Floyd law, as if that will prevent any of this from happening in the future. It's like tacking a hate crime onto any other indictment, as if, oooh, now you've really done it! You committed a hate crime (on top of the beating, stabbing and shooting you already did to that innocent black/white/Jew/Asian/fill in the blank).
