Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is signing into law a new measure providing additional legal protections for police officers.
— legislative leaders agreed to strip first-responder protection from the hate crimes bill. But Republicans then separately rammed through the police protections bill with almost no Democratic support.Although giving police more protections goes against a national climate of demands for more police accountability afterin Minneapolis, it was no surprise that Kemp signed the measure.
“House Bill 838 is a step forward as we work to protect those who are risking their lives to protect us,” Kemp said in a statement Wednesday after he signed the measure. “While some vilify, target, and attack our men and women in uniform for personal or political gain, this legislation is a clear reminder that Georgia is a state that unapologetically backs the blue.”
