                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 25, 2011

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, this weekend in Indianapolis, we 
were tragically reminded of the sacrifices our law enforcement officers 
make in order to protect our families.
  Officer David Moore of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police 
Department was shot four times on Sunday morning during a traffic stop, 
and he's now fighting for his life in a local hospital.
  There's no doubt Officer Moore knew the dangers of police work--his 
father is retired law enforcement, and his mother still serves on the 
Indianapolis police department.
  But like so many who wear the badge in communities across our Nation, 
David Moore took an oath to serve and protect others. To run to 
danger--not away from it.
  I ask all my colleagues to join me in praying for Officer Moore and 
his family. And I ask everyone in this esteemed body to go back to 
their districts and take the time to thank their local law enforcement 
officers for the work they do--and the sacrifices they make.
