                 TRIBUTE TO OFFICER ROBINSON DESROCHES

 Mr. PAUL. Madam President, I rise today to honor one of 
Louisville's finest, Louisville Metro Police Officer Robinson 
Desroches, who was shot on September 23, 2020, 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.
  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.
