Ashley Moody s remarks on fallen officers
Before introducing Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, McQuaig told the audience that Moody is a strong ally of law enforcement.
In her remarks, Moody said it has been a tough year for law enforcement officials across the country. In Florida, this time last year, four law enforcement officials had died in the line of duty. So far this year, it s 12.
Moody said while these occasions can be sad, they also can be inspiring. She said the men and women who put on a uniform serve with pride and vigor, knowing the risk they face. During the pandemic, Moody said, they have showed up because they love their communities.
Hoyer Floor Remarks on National Police Week
WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) spoke on the House Floor this evening during a Special Order Hour with House Democrats, hosted by Representative Val Demings (FL-10), in honor of National Police Week. Below is a link to the video and a transcript of his remarks: “Mr. Speaker, colleagues, it is appropriate that we stand and speak on behalf of the law enforcement community of our country. As the former Chief of the Orlando Police just said, ‘it is because of them that we have law and order.’ Democracy cannot survive without law and order.
One of the most challenging assignments I have taken on was the life and death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
It was challenging first because, as a former law enforcement officer myself, assaults on police officers are personal â membership in the Blue fraternity does not expire. Brian Sicknick was an exemplary LEO and a Patriot.
It was challenging because Brian died a day after the disgraceful Capitol riot, or as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would have called it in any other venue, a âpeaceful protest.â I was, and remain,
very angry about images of confrontations that day between Capitol Police and self-centered anarchists â a minute fringe element of self-proclaimed Donald Trump supporters whom neither Trump nor any genuine conservative would claim as fellow Patriots.
