Thank you all for coming. I first want to start by expressing my condolences to deputy philip campos, an officer who was selflessly serving his community who was killed in the line of duty on sunday. He is a father, a husband, sheriff officer and former marine. Three others were shot in the standoff as well. Our prayers are with his family and those who were wounded as they continue to break through this. Each of us are indebted to our brave capitol police officers who come every day to this house prepared to defend us.

Even prior to that inspector general report told us there was failed leadership at the top of the police with the training. Rodney davis will speak in a moment of the bill that he had to make sure the structure of the capitol police would change. We had many failures within the leadership.
