                     TRIBUTE TO ROBINSON DESROCHES

  Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, I rise today to honor one of Louisville's 
finest, Louisville Metro Police Officer Robinson Desroches. Police work 
is an unquestionably difficult and dangerous job, but it is among the 
noblest callings. Each and every day, officers risk their lives to keep 
our communities safe. Officers such as Louisville Metro Police Officer 
Robinson Desroches meet the challenges they encounter every day with 
professionalism, class, and courage. Officer Desroches joined the LMPD 
in 2019. Serving to keep the peace in Louisville during a time of 
uncertainty, Officer Desroches has served his community with class and 
courage during this difficult time. Dedicated service from officers 
like Officer Desroches during times of protest is important to keep 
protests peaceful instead of a riot. Officer Desroches and his fellow 
officers deserve and have our respect and admiration. Officer Desroches 
was shot on Wednesday night during the protest in Louisville. 
Fortunately, he is expected to make a full recovery. I join my fellow 
Kentuckians in wishing Officer Desroches a speedy recovery.
