There is far more that unites us as a country than divides us. We spend far too much time in this Chamber and outside of this Chamber tweeting, screaming, and yelling instead of focused on getting things done for the American people and thanking those who serve our great country. That is what this week is about, Police Week, to thank those who are continuing to get up every day to protect us and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting us and serving us. We should honor them, as we should honor all of those shoulders we stand on, by actually doing right by them, by investing in them, by supporting their families, by making sure that officers who are out there today on the front lines looking out for us have what they need to keep themselves safe and to keep our communities safe. There should be no fights about that or disagreements about that and no questions about whether we are going to fund law enforcement or not.
