When NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were assassinated in their patrol car because they wore the honorable blue uniform, they were victims of a hate crime. When two NYPD lieutenants were attacked on the Brooklyn Bridge by rioters who yelled chants of, "What do we want? Dead Cops. When do we wantit? Now!" they were victims of ahate crime. But currently hate crime enhancements do not apply to attacks on law enforcement officers.
