Seward Reacts to Law Enforcement Law Rejection
State Senator James Seward issued a statement after Democratic lawmakers rejected a vote on package of bills designed to protect law enforcement officers. Seward says the ‘Protect Those Who Protect Us’ package would have made New York safer and the ‘no’ votes from Senate Democrats are unconscionable.
The measures increased penalties on existing crimes against law enforcement and creating new categories of crimes as a result of new types of attacks.
