“I thank the gentleman from Georgia for yielding. I, too, want to urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question so we can address Mr. Steube's resolution and hopefully pass Mr. Steube's resolution, a resolution which is very basic, has four basic components to it: Justice for George Floyd's family. What happened in Minneapolis we all know was a tragedy and never should have happened, wrong as wrong could be, and George Floyd's family deserves justice, and our resolution calls for that. It also calls for justice for police officers and others who have suffered violence, police officers like Patrick Underwood, who, along with George Floyd's brother, Patrick Underwood's sister came and testified just 2 weeks ago in front of the Judiciary Committee, serving his community as a law enforcement officer, attacked and killed. The resolution that would happen if we vote ``no'' on the previous question also condemns all violence and the creation of autonomous zones.
