AR 55 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Condemns publication and distribution of images inciting, glorifying, or justifying violence against law enforcement officers.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 55) is a symbolic statement condemning the publication and distribution of images that incite, glorify, or justify violence against law enforcement officers. It specifically references recent circulating images, including a graphic social media post by an NFL player depicting a police officer being harmed, and connects such content to extremist groups like ISIS. The resolution does not impose legal restrictions or penalties - it only formally expresses opposition to these images and urges citizens to counter offensive speech with more speech, while acknowledging First Amendment protections. It will be sent to state and federal officials, police associations, and the President as a formal expression of support for law enforcement.
