,s4 ,,res4 #fab  ,,in ,,the ,,senate    
,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states  ,june #i1 
#bjbj,mrs4 ,loeffler submitted the      
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on the ,judiciary    
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,senate that the tragic death of    
,george ,floyd was unjust and the       
perpetrators must stand trial and be    
brought to justice1 the ,first          
,amendment of the ,constitution         
guarantees individuals the right to     
peaceably assemble and protest1 groups  
like ,antifa and the individuals who    
took over peaceful protests with        
violence1 chaos1 looting1 and           
destruction should be held accountable  
for their actions1 the attacks on law   
enforcement1 individuals1 small         
businesses1 and communities are causing 
death1 injury1 and millions of dollars  
in damage1 the vast majority of men and 
women in law enforcement work tirelessly
 and risk their lives to protect the    

people of the ,united ,states without   
prejudice1 police departments are the   
cornerstone for maintaining a society of
 order1 calls to defund the police      
threaten the safety and security of the 
people of the ,united ,states1 ,congress
 will continue to appropriate funding to
 local law enforcement agencies that    
bolster police efforts1 and the ,nation 
must come together in healing1          
reconciliation1 and prayer to reaffirm  
that every life is sacred1 our society  
must strive for equality1 and that we   
will work to ensure a tragedy like      
,george ,floyd's never happens again in 
the ,united ,states4  ,whereas1 on      
,sunday1 ,may #bd1 #bjbj1 ,george ,floyd
 of ,minneapolis1 ,minnesota1 was       
tragically killed by police officers who
 were subsequently and rightfully       
removed from their roles in serving the 
public1 and were arrested and charged in
 connection with ,floyd's death2        
,whereas the ,senate finds that the rule
 of law in the ,united ,states is       

undermined when law enforcement officers
 engage in conduct inconsistent with    
equal treatment1 justice1 and the       
,constitution of the ,united ,states2   
,whereas since the death of ,george     
,floyd1 peaceful protests by thousands  
of citizens exercising their ,first     
,amendment rights across the ,nation    
have taken place2 ,whereas unfortunately
 in a number of cities1 many individuals
 have used this time of meaningful1     
peaceful protest and mourning to riot1  
loot businesses1 and burn police cars   
and churches2 ,whereas radical          
organizations like ,antifa have sadly   
used the death of ,george ,floyd to     
organize and sow violence in our        
communities and should be held          
accountable2 ,whereas radical protesters
 defaced the ,department of ,veterans   
,affairs headquarters and the ,world    
,war ,,ii ,memorial1 dishonoring the    
brave men and women who have served in  
the ,armed ,services2 ,whereas radical  
protesters defaced the ,lincoln         

,memorial1 the place where the ,march on
 ,washington began1 that momentous      
occasion in the history of civil rights2
 ,whereas radical protesters burned ,st4
 ,john's ,church1 a church that         
supported the bold civil rights moment  
of the ,march on ,washington2 ,whereas  
these actions taken by radical          
protesters do not honor the legacy of   
,george ,floyd nor further a rational   
cause1 and those acting as violent      
anarchists and the members of ,antifa   
are taking advantage of the pain of     
people and the pain of the peaceful     
protesters2 ,whereas protests are a     
normal and healthy part of democracy1   
while acts of violence1 looting1 and    
arson should not be tolerated2 ,whereas 
in multiple cities1 police and other law
 enforcement personnel have been        
intentionally attacked1 injured1 and    
killed1 and many voices are radically   
calling to defund the police2 ,whereas  
the vast majority of police officers do 
their job bravely and righteously and   

are committed to ensuring that racism   
plays no part in law enforcement and    
that everyone receives equal protection 
under the law2 and ,whereas the ,united 
,states has a moral and constitutional  
obligation to protect the life1 liberty1
 and property of all individuals1       
including from abuse from those we      
entrust to defend public safety and from
 domestic terrorists and violent1       
anti-democratic activists3 ,now1        
therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense  
of the ,senate that it is the policy of 
the ,united ,states-- 7#a7 to           
commemorate the life of ,george ,floyd  
through official recognition and        
remembrance2  7#b7 that the ,first      
,amendment guarantees every individual  
citizen the right to peacefully assemble
 and protest2  7#c7 to urge an immediate
 end to the violence leading to the     
damage of lives and businesses across   
,united ,states so that the ,nation can 
come together in healing1 dialogue1     
reconciliation1 and prayer2  7#d7 to    

urge leaders at every level of          
government to examine and enhance the   
training of law enforcement to ensure   
equal treatment and protection under the
 law2 and  7#e7 to urge ,states and     
local governments to provide the funding
 and support necessary for law          
enforcement and first responders to     
protect the life1 liberty1 and property 
of every individual in the ,united      
,states regardless of their race1 color1
 or nationality4
