Summary

We Discussed H.4440, a bill that Gov. Baker is trying to fast track through the legislature. It's a knee-jerk reaction to last weeks shooting in Dallas. Anyone (like a protester) who "assaults" a police officer would receive a mandatory 1 year minimum sentence. So, if you're at a protest and a police officer claims you've assaulted them, you go to jail for a minimum of one year.
