                   HONORING ALABAMA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 7, 2022

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support 
of our local law enforcement.
  Across our country, police officers are under fire. They are being 
killed, attacked and targeted.
  These brave men and women who serve their local communities help keep 
us safe, but the liberals continue to push to defund the police.
  I am sick of it.
  President Biden and the left's anti-police policies have led to a 
crimewave across our nation. Last October; three Alabama police 
officers were shot in less than 24 hours. Last May, Alabama officers 
were injured in a shooting. And last week, an Opelika Police officer 
was hit by a fleeing suspect.
  We are a country of law and order and I implore my colleagues to 
stand up for those who protect us and back the blue.
