"Theydon't do it for the pay or the accolades, they do it to serve their communities. To keep us safe. Anti-police rhetoric is beyonddangerous. And those who support it should be ashamed of themselves. They should publicly be condemned by every Senator, every Representative,every Governor across this country. This talk is crazy. It's crazy in Montana and it's crazy across the country. And the Senators before you today will not accept it. We shouldn't be defunding the police, we should be defending them."
