Lawmakers are calling for the creation of a whole new division of the state police to help prevent attacks like the one at the Capitol.
Everyone has seen the video of a U.S. Capitol Police officer fighting for his life. Prosecutors say Patrick Edward McCaughey, of Ridgefiled, squeezed a Capitol Police officer with a riot shield. Of course, I was heartbroken when I saw this, says state Sen. Saud Anwar.
Sen. Anwar says it s time Connecticut did a better job tracking potential threats. He has introduced a bill that looks to create a whole new division of the state police to investigate hate crimes and extremist groups.
