The Democrats will kill it, they won’t let legislation like this to pass.
Waste of time…Parole Boards letting criminals go, the Left freeing prisoners due to Wuhan and mostly, Leftist are above the Law..
I agree with this as long as it comes out of the personal wallet of city officials and not mine.
At least a few of these republicans have found they actually have a spine and are pushing back on something people actually care about instead of changing holidays and talking about supporting BLM. But yeah, dems will kill it. This is a winning issue. People want to be safe – we want law and order.

Make it retroactive.
It’s about freaking time. Criminl charges of malfeasance in offing should have been brought months ago.
If Cruz includes Federal Representatives and Senators (past and present) and holds them accountable for their damaging legislation, corruption and sexual harassment payouts, I’ll support his effort.
I doubt the people who want to eliminate qualified immunity for police want to Have the same thing done to them.
Don’t stop there. Make all politicians financially accountable for running up trillion dollar deficits and debts.
What’s that you say? It has about as much chance of passing as Cruz’s PR Bill?
… & judges & parole boards & governor’s letting murderers out (& governors deliberately killing old people by making them live w/ WuHu Flu patients) …. should pay for the crimes that are committed by the released parasites
Why do we need legislation for this?
