New York county lawmakers pass contentious bill allowing police to sue protesters for harassment.
Nassau police officers surround a man taking part in a Black Lives Matter march in East Meadow, N.Y., on June 12, 2020.County lawmakers in New York approved a bill Monday allowing police officers and other first responders to sue people who harass them because of their profession.
The vote came after hours of often-heated public comments, including from police union officials and NAACP members. “What you are doing with this bill is you are taking this profession and you are putting that chosen profession above all of those people who fought during the Civil Rights movement,” she said.
But neither union officials nor the legislative text cite specific examples from Nassau County, which is outside New York City on Long Island.
