Rioting, looting and other violence similar to what was seen in Birmingham over the summer would become felony crimes under legislation that will be introduced when state lawmakers return to Montgomery next week.
State Rep. Allen Treadaway, R-Morris, is proposing new crimes and penalties for those who incite or participate in riots and also provide additional protection for police officers and other first responders when such situations take place.
“I spent 31 years in law enforcement and the events that happened not only in Birmingham but across the country this past summer made me realize that the laws that were on the books were not sufficient enough to address some of the issues,’ Treadaway told AL.com Wednesday.
