Political Quotes

“I want to thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for his remarks regarding Officer Shaw. The Book of Wisdom teaches that ``the souls of the just are in the hands of God, and no torment shall touch them.'' The family and friends of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, Police Officer Brian Shaw today must trust in that Scripture as they continue to grieve his loss. Officer Shaw was only 25 years old when he was taken in an act of senseless violence, but in his short life, he learned a great deal, and what he learned allowed him to give even more. Brian Shaw knew his vocation, to serve as a police officer and, as he said, to make a difference. His former supervisor, Frazer Township Police Chief Terry Kuhns, recalled that when Brian gave that answer during his job interview, he knew he meant it as he looked in his eyes and his smile. Perhaps what Chief Kuhns saw in Brian were virtues our world desperately needs more of: authenticity and sincerity. Those virtues contributed to what New Kensington Police Chief Jim Klein described as Brian's incredible passion for his work. To Brian's parents and family, you raised him right. May Brian Shaw, a just man, evermore rest in the hands of God. ____________________”
