VA lawmaker introduces bill to allow public sector employees to strike. Far-right extremists misconstrue it as a bill to fire cops who don't enforce gun control laws. Misconception ripples through conservative news, all the way up to @WSJopinion. Lawmaker is now in hiding.
@WSJopinion Under current law, cops can already be fired for refusing to enforce any statute. It's been like that for decades. The bill in question, which is here, specifies that law enforcement are the *only* type of public worker this rule applies to. lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp60…
