He said (in part):\n\n\u201cThis resolution acknowledges that they respond to the calls for service, no matter who is on the other end of the line. It acknowledges that the job has only become more dangerous and more mentally and physically exhausting, yet they still show up for work, not knowing if they have kissed their families goodbye for the last time.\n\n\u201cImportantly, this resolution also acknowledges that we, in this chamber, set the standard. We are the ones who must demonstrate a respect for the rule of law and a respect for our law enforcement officers if we are to expect the public to do the same. We must do so in our actions, our conversations, and even the policies we consider.\n\n\u201cBills that never become law can have the most staggering ripple effect. They can persuade local municipalities to implement soft-on-crime policies and strip law enforcement of resources. They can encourage the public to cheat, steal, and disrespect fellow community members. They can cause good, noble people to change their minds about entering the profession I love so much.\n\n\u201cActions have consequences, and our communities are suffering as a result. But let us take this moment to learn, to change for the better. We can rise to the moment, stand with our law enforcement officers, reestablish law and order, and bring safety back to our communities.\u201d\n\nWatch Stauber\u2019s full remarks HERE.\n\nIn addition to Stauber\u2019s resolution, House Republicans passed a number of bills to support and protect America\u2019s law enforcement heroes this National Police Week.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:12:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stauber.house.gov/media/press-releases/stauber-policing-resolution-passes-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0637068189680576, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
