State Sen. McMahan wants #BlueLivesMatter legislation #msleg

Legislature to look at Blue Lives Matter

However, one local state senator hopes Blue Lives Matter legislation will draw some attention. 2016 has been the deadliest for law enforcement across the country with more than 200 killed in the line of duty.

State Senator Chad McMahan wants to make sure that doesn’t happen in the Magnolia State.

“They have families, and believe it or not, most law enforcement who work for municipalities across the state, believe it or not, make less than 10 dollars an hour. We need proper legislation to protect the men and women who work in law enforcement to make sure they are protected and that we give every maximum penalty for anyone who would attack our law enforcement and firemen,” he said.
