We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

A bill to prohibit Virginia law enforcement agencies from quickly identifying officers involving in shootings passed a House of Delegates committee Thursday on an 11-8 vote. The bill, which could make it a crime to identity an officer before six months have passed since a shooting or an investigation is completed, cleared the House General Laws Committee and now heads to the floor for a full vote. Two Republicans and six Democrats opposed the bill in the GOP-controlled committee. [More]

Forget principle. You don't see the political advantage of letting Democrats be the party of the police state?

    A state lawmaker has agreed to drop his effort to pass a bill that would prevent law enforcement agencies from quickly identifying police officers involved in shootings, according to the Virginia NAACP.
