deescalation because we recognize that police officers are called in when people are not having their best day, when people might be affected by mental illness, drug abuse, any number of issues. they are just having a bad day and trained for that and should be. they are taught how to use that to deescalate and control a situation. they are taught medical intervention. they are taught to provide medical attention to people who need it. being a police officer is a difficult job. we ask a lot of them. it s a profession, there s no doubt about it. we give them a substantial amount of training and most officers do it right. this case wasn t about police officers, all police officers. it wasn t about policing.
0 want to i ve spoken to debbie w wasserman schultz, and i promise you the administration, the congress are doing everything to be of assistance now and after this occurs. after they decide exactly what the state of play is. but i m glad to welcome everyone here to the adjunct to the white house here, in-person and virtually. survivors and family members, victims and the path breaking leaders like senator baldwin, just over five years ago, the pulse nightclub, a place of acceptance and joy, became a place of unspeakable pain and loss. and we ll never fully recover, but we ll remember, and we have to what we re going to do is with the members of congress here did, enshrine in law, as a consequence of that law, enshrine in perpetuity a literal monument to the loss that occurred there and an absolute determination that we re going to deal with this every single solitary day, and make sure that we re not in a position to see this happen again. behind me, you see on either board there t
