Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is introducing new legislation that would help citizens take legal action against their elected officials if they're "wrongfully denying police protection in the situation of a riot." CNN'S CHRIS CUOMO'S ATTEMPT TO CALL OUT TED CRUZ GETS QUICK RESPONSE"We're seeing violence and police cars being firebombed, police officers being murdered, and violent mobs within our cities. Cruz said that Democrats today were acting in the same way that their predecessors acted in the 1950s and 1960s. And you had elected Democrats -- and they were all Democrats who were enforcing Jim Crow -- who said, 'get your federal officers out of here,'" he told host Shannon Bream. And, you certainly don't have the ability to say, 'we're going to allow the federal courthouse or the federal building to burn.'"
