Dear Rocky,

This is National Police Week, which is an appropriate time to express our thanks and gratitude to our law enforcement officers, who serve our communities at great personal risk and sacrifice, to help make our streets and neighborhoods safer.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which that date falls as National Police Week. Each year, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from across the country gather in Washington, DC to participate in events honoring those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

On Thursday, May 12, I participated with several of my House Republican colleagues and members of the U.S. Capitol Police in the annual “Back the Blue Bike Ride,” to show our support for our law enforcement officers and their families. A wreath was laid at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, located on our National Mall. The Memorial is dedicated to all law enforcement officers who died keeping communities across America safe. Carved on the walls of the Memorial are the names of more than 22,000 officers who died in the line of duty dating back to 1786. In 2021, 73 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty, the highest number since 1995.

As a former mayor of the city of Dayton, I know the difficulties law enforcement face each day to help keep our communities safe. I know firsthand that the overwhelming majority of police officers are decent and hardworking Americans who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the public. Behind the badge and uniform are men and women who put their lives on the line every time they report for duty.

At a time when violent crime is on the rise in many urban areas across the nation, some in Congress continue to call for “defunding the police,” and abolishing police departments. Defunding police departments is a dangerous and foolish idea. I will never support defunding or disbanding our police. As Congress considers police reform legislation we should invest more in law enforcement, not less, and work to improve police training, accountability, transparency, recruiting, and community engagement.

That is why I have cosponsored the JUSTICE Act (HR 677). This bipartisan legislation would advance important reforms, including ending the use of chokeholds, increasing the use of body cameras, and ensuring that bad cops who are fired for misconduct from one department cannot find another job as a law enforcement officer in a new city, county or state law enforcement agency. These reforms would ensure that our police officers are better prepared to protect the communities they serve.

I will continue to proudly “Back the Blue,” this week and every week.

Sincerely,

Member of Congress

Man, these guys...from Biden saying that they couldn't see this coming to ButtGuy saying that they have been on this issue from DAY 1! But now magically 3 months later they make a deal to reopen the Abbott plant. And we are going to import more formula from countries that we do not control what they make the formula with!!!! This is shear lunacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"U.S. officials on Monday reached an agreement to allow baby formula maker Abbott to restart its largest domestic factory, though it will be two months or more before any new products ship from the site to help alleviate the national shortage facing parents.
The FDA is expected to announce additional steps Monday evening to allow more foreign imports into the U.S. to address the supply problems. It comes as the administration of President Joe Biden faces intense pressure to do more to ease the shortage that has left many parents hunting for formula online or at food banks."

But it's ok to protest outside of a Supreme Court judges' home????????

"Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors posted a tearful video on Instagram claiming that Candace Owens harassed her at her home. However, Owens refuted the complaint and provided a video that seemingly tells a different story.
Cullors posted a 7-minute video on Instagram where she claimed, "Right-wing pundits and media are attacking and harassing me and my family."

"I simply showed up, spoke to a white security guard accompanied by a white dog THROUGH the gate—and then volunteered to leave because he wasn't responding to my questions at all," she continued. "Patrisse Cullors is an absolute fraud."
"Patrisse is pretending to be scared because she knows that this Black Lives Matter lie is falling apart. And she doesn’t know what to do,” Owens said on Instagram. "What you are seeing right now is the face of a woman who is pretending she's afraid of right-wing pundits when in reality, she’s being exposed as a fraud… took millions of dollars to fund herself, to fund her lifestyle, to fund her girlfriend and to buy million-dollar mansions in neighborhoods where no black people live."
