That's why in 2014, he supported the Grayson Amendment that denied funds from going to body armors for sheriffs. He voted against Kate's Law, thus voting to shield MS-13 gang members from deportation. In 2021, he voted against motion to condemn calls to “defund”, “disband”, or “abolish” the police. He cosponsored HR 7120 that prohibits transfers to federal tribal, state, and local law enforcement request and receive equipment like firearms, ammunition, bayonets, grenade launchers, grenades (including stun and flash-bang), and explosives; vehicles; drones; controlled aircraft; silencers and long-range acoustic devices.
In 2019, during a speech in Paine College, Tim Ryan called the criminal justice system and police racist and he described law enforcement as, quote, "new Jim Crow".
In April, Bluffton mourned the death of Officer Dominic Francis who was killed trying to stop fleeing car on highway. Greg Smith, Officer police from Toledo, got injured in four months ago when he slipped entering a booby trapped house, risking his life protecting the lives of citizens of Ohio like every police officer do daily.
It is shameful of Tim Ryan to call police officers new Jim Crow. That's not Ohio.
