Unfortunately, a liberal judge in New York has handed down a sentence against an officer that will have a chilling effect on every law enforcement member who wants to do what it takes to protect the public. Officers will be fearful that if a spur-of-the-moment decision to collar a perp is twisted by an activist judge, they could lose their home, their job or even their freedom.

The REVIVE Act doesn’t just get the balance wrong — it ignores it entirely. And if we allow that to happen, the consequences won’t be felt in Albany. They’ll be felt on our roads, in our schools and in the neighborhoods we call home.
