Banks Signs Pledge to Stand with Police

WASHINGTON – Congressman Jim Banks has signed Heritage Action’s Police Pledge, a pledge supporting police officers and opposing any legislative efforts to “defund the police.”

In a statement, Congressman Banks said, “The thin blue line is what stands between civilization and lawless chaos”.

In addition, congressman Banks also introduced The Support Peaceful Protest Act, which is causing a lot of discussion on both sides of the issue.

Banks aims to take federal benefits from rioters. The bill, introduced last week on the anniversary of the March on Washington, is designed to punish violent protesters.

If the bill passes, enhanced federal benefits would be taken away from those who are arrested and convicted on riot felony charges.
