In Dallas, Texas, we saw a champion. We saw a champion in Police Chief David Brown and how he conducted himself. When asked about his responsibility, he said: We will continue to do our responsibility as police officers, as we do every day out in the field. But the legislature needs to do its responsibility. The legislature needs to get its work done. Those brave police officers do their work every day, and yet this Congress has not. Roosevelt said it best about our colleagues on the other side of the aisle: They are frozen in the ice of their own indifference-- indifference to the slaughter that takes place in our streets, indifference to the more than 1,000 mass murders that have taken place, indifference to the threat of Zika and the spread of disease, and indifference to children in Flint, Michigan. It is time for us to do as David Brown said, ``Do your job.'' ____________________
