** ‘Squad’ Dems Vote Against Honoring Police Officers Killed in Line of Duty
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
During a vote Monday recognizing National Police Week ([link removed]) , two members of the far-Left group “the Squad” were the only Democrats to vote against a resolution that memorialized police officers killed in the line of duty and expressed condolences to their loved ones.
Reps. Rashida Tlaib ([link removed]) (D-MI) and Cori Bush ([link removed]) (D-MO) uttered the only nays heard from the House floor as the chamber voted on the pro-law enforcement resolution. The resolution, which passed with unanimous support from Republicans and nearly all Democrats, amended H.Res. 363 title to read: “Resolution memorializing law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.”
Its passing honored “the 556 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, including 224 officers killed in 2022, as well as 332 officers killed in previous years whose stories were recovered during 2022,” while also ensuring police are equipped with the resources and training necessary to keeping communities safe.
The amendment opposed by the Democrats expressed “unwavering support” for law enforcement officers and offered “condolences and solemn appreciation” for the loved ones of lost officers.
The resolution vowed that the House of Representatives would acknowledge “that police officers and other law enforcement personnel, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, should be remembered and honored,” and recognized as heroes.
“Why did Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib just vote against a simple resolution to honor law enforcement officers during National Police Week?” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) posted on Twitter after the vote.
Tlaib and Bush claimed Tuesday in a joint statement that they view community safety as a “top priority”:
Let us be clear: the health and safety of every one of our community members — including our first responders — is a top priority for us. But this resolution is not a referendum on support for the safety of first responders. It is a document intended to advance Republicans’ false narrative around supporting law enforcement and gaslight the public about where they stand.

** Bush Signs Petition Asking Clemency for Black Triple-Murderer on Death Row
------------------------------------------------------------
In October 2021, Bush co-signed a petition ([link removed]) demanding that Missouri governor Mike Parson commute the death sentence that had been handed down to 61-year-old Ernest Lee Johnson, a black, convicted triple-murderer who in 1994 had brutally killed ([link removed]) three general-store workers during a late-night robbery. His victims were 46-year-old Mary Bratcher, a single white mother of three children; 57-year-old Mable Scruggs, also a single white mother; and 58-year-old Fred Jones, an African-American man who was the only caregiver ([link removed]) for his elderly mother and disabled brother. After a binge in which he had purchased three rocks of crack cocaine and traded one of
them for a gun, Johnson killed all three victims by repeatedly smashing them over the head with a claw hammer; he also stabbed Bratcher multiple times and shot Jones in the head...
