Kentucky Senate passes bill making it a crime to insult the police
On March 11, the Republican-majority Kentucky state Senate voted 22 to 11 to approve a bill that would make insulting a police officer a crime. Senate Bill (SB) 211 makes it so that a person could be charged with disorderly conduct a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to 90 days in jail and up to a $250 fine if one “accosts, insults, taunts, or challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response from the perspective of a reasonable and prudent person.”
Once confined to scholarly circles, the debate over whether a president can pardon himself has gained urgency in the wake of last week's violent storming of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump's supporters.
The riots led to Trump's historic second impeachment this week and sparked Democratic calls for a federal investigation into Trump's role in inciting the violence.
