submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
the ,judiciary  ,,resolution            
,expressing support for the brave men   
and women of our law enforcement        
agencies and urging the people of the   
,united ,states to 8,back the ,blue04   
,whereas the cowardly attack on #b ,los 
,angeles ,county ,sheriff's ,department 
deputies on ,september #ab1 #bjbj1 is   
the latest example of an alarming trend 
of targeted violence toward ,federal1   
,state1 and local law enforcement       
officers2 ,whereas1 as of ,september    
#aa1 #bjbj1 the ,federal ,bureau of     

,investigation reported that #cg law    
enforcement officers have been          
feloniously killed in the ,united       
,states in #bjbj1 representing a more   
than #bj-percent increase in law        
enforcement homicides compared to the   
same period last year2 ,whereas more    
than #hjj1jjj sworn law enforcement     
officers in the ,united ,states perform 
innumerable daily acts of bravery and   
service for their communities that often
 go entirely unreported2 ,whereas       
radical politicians1 reckless media     
figures1 and organized protest movements
 bent on sowing civil unrest have sought
 to vilify and denigrate the courageous 
men and women of our law enforcement    
agencies1 while inciting1 encouraging1  
or celebrating widespread criminal      
activity and violence against law       
enforcement officers2 ,whereas crime    
rates1 including rates of violent crime1
 have dramatically risen in several     
cities across the ,united ,states as    
radical politicians pursue a dangerous  

campaign to defund the police1 starving 
law enforcement agencies of much-needed 
resources to combat the growing threat  
to their communities2 ,whereas          
maintaining law and order is fundamental
 to the safety1 security1 and prosperity
 of our communities2 and ,whereas now is
 the time to ,back the ,blue1 and       
express our full-throated support for   
the selfless work of our courageous law 
enforcement officers who protect all    
law-abiding citizens against the threats
 posed by criminals and violent domestic
 groups interested in sowing chaos and  
destruction3 ,now1 therefore1 be it     
,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 expresses      
gratitude to the brave men and women of 
our ,federal1 ,state1 and local law     
enforcement agencies who selflessly     
serve their communities2  7#b7 stands   
united to ,back the ,blue and support   
the law enforcement agencies and        
officers that stand on the front lines  
every day to maintain law and order so  
that our communities can prosper2  7#c7 

condemns the perpetrators1 instigators1 
and celebrators of violence against law 
enforcement officers2 and  7#d7 calls   
for the people of the ,united ,states   
to-- 7,a7 denounce the recent cowardly  
attack on the ,los ,angeles ,county     
,sheriff's ,department deputies2  7,b7  
assist in the identification and        
apprehension of the criminal who        
perpetrated the cowardly attack2 and    
7,c7 pray for the speedy and full       
recovery of the deputies4
