Phoenix, Arizona - In coordination with President Biden’s proclamation, Governor Doug Ducey Friday ordered flags at all state buildings be lowered to half-staff until sunset on April 6, 2021 to honor United States Capitol Police Officer William F. Evans, who was killed in the line of duty defending the U.S. Capitol from an attack Friday.
“Arizona joins our nation in mourning the loss of Officer William F. Evans, who tragically lost his life defending the U.S. Capitol,” said Governor Ducey. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Evans’s family, friends and colleagues. We are also praying for the recovery of the second officer injured today. I’ve ordered flags be lowered to half-staff to honor Officer Evans’s life and the sacrifice he made in service to the public.”
https://www.afinalwarning.com/507602.html (Natural News) Democrats have solidified their effort to act as an Orwellian Ministry of Truth with the passage of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 1085 in the House of Representatives. This bill rewrites the historical facts from Jan. 6 under the guise of “honoring” the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) who bravely protect Congress.

Pelosi’s goal, of course, isn’t to show respect and admiration to the Capitol Police which would be particularly ironic coming from the “defund the police” party but to perpetuate a false narrative that 74-plus million Americans are dangerous racists and insurrectionists who have no part in civilized society.
Following another deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol, Capitol Police, already understaffed, are feeling the strain of duty. As hundreds of officers consider retiring early or resigning, efforts are being made to boost morale and support.
