There are countless numbers of examples of our legislation, our current law and the way that it's applied, failing our first responders, our corrections officers, and our nurses and doctors in our emergency departments. We have seen an increase not only in assaults across the board but also, most astonishingly, in serious assaults. Whatever is happening now, whatever legislation we have in place now, whatever sentencing regime we have in place now is not working. We need to draw a line in the sand and say this is unacceptable, and we need to protect our protectors. I commend this bill to the House.
