One Philadelphia police officer is dead, and another is fighting for his life. Between them, 15 gunshot wounds.
They answered a call for service and walked into an ambush.
One father will never come home to his two children, while another family is praying their father of five survives. These officers showed up to serve and protect their community, and in return, they were met with a hail of bullets.
How many more officers must be gunned down for doing their jobs before Congress acts? How many more families must have their lives shattered before we stop accepting violence against law enforcement as an inevitable part of the job?
WE ARE FED UP WITH MOURNING OFFICERS WHO SHOULD HAVE COME HOME.
Prayers and condolences are not enough when officers are being deliberately targeted simply for wearing the badge. The National Fraternal Order of Police calls on Congress to pass the Protect and Serve Act, establishing federal penalties for those who deliberately target law enforcement officers with violence.
Our officers continue to answer the call. Congress must answer ours! We will not stay silent while officers are hunted down for doing the job they swore to do.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. PASS THE PROTECT AND SERVE ACT.
