My condolences. I just heard about your father. Madam Speaker, today I rise in strong support of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Today marks 1 month since George Floyd called out, ``I can't breathe,'' as an officer suffocated him to death and two complicitly watched. The world has joined Mr. Floyd's family in demanding that we take action. South Florida and my constituents are demanding action. We can't bring him back, but we can bring justice to him; to his 6- year-old daughter, Gianna; his family; and his brother, Philonise. We can put an end to chokeholds and hold every police officer accountable for their actions. We can honor the life and legacy of Breonna Taylor, whose murderers still walk free, and we can and must serve the memory of the countless other lives that have been taken and brutalized by bringing law enforcement back to their roots of protecting and serving. The time for bold and profound action is now. {time} 1530
