Published | Video Starts at 05:32

This bill just says, look, let's just make certain that there's federal jurisdiction whenever a federal law enforcement officer is killed or injured in a line of duty. And Let's make certain that we have the police officers' backs like they have ours and put a mandatory 20-year prison sentence for anybody that harms a member of law enforcement. That's it. It's not a 2,000 page bill, it's not a 4,000 page bill. It's a three page bill. It's just a simple way that this institution, this body can come together. (05:32–05:46)
