Connecticut Dems Pass Anti-Police Bill That Makes The Job Almost Impossible

 

The Defund the Police movement has taken a rough turn in Connecticut as Dems have passed a police reform bill that would put police in danger. The bill passed through the State Senate and now has to be signed by the Governor. The most offensive part of the bill has to do with removing police immunity from being sued in civil courts and restricting circumstances in which police can use lethal force.

"Every Republican in the Senate voted against the bill. Some denounced it as “anti-police.” Others were milder and called it well-intended, but rushed, flawed and in need of revision. Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said the sense of urgency so keenly felt by Democrats was artificial.

“Social media took over everything, set the tone,” Fasano said. “Shame on us.”

CT is a "one-party" state, for all practical purposes.
Not much can be done to stop the legislature...
