WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women |
|
of the law enforcement profession who willingly place themselves in |
|
harm's way to protect the safety of their communities, and Corporal |
|
Bryan Shaw and Trooper Danny Shaw are two such individuals; and |
|
WHEREAS, Corporal Bryan Shaw, a detective with the El Centro |
|
College Campus Police, was among the officers present during a |
|
demonstration in downtown Dallas on July 7, 2016; Corporal Shaw was |
|
struck when a lone gunman opened fire on police; despite his injury, |
|
he continued to protect his fellow officers and civilians, and he |
|
held his post during an hours-long standoff between the police and |
|
the gunman; and |
|
WHEREAS, Later that year, Corporal Bryan Shaw's older |
|
brother, Trooper Danny Shaw of the Texas Department of Public |
|
Safety, was also injured in the line of duty; on November 25, 2016, |
|
while he was on assignment in Fronton, near the Rio Grande, Trooper |
|
Shaw was struck by a bullet from an unknown assailant after a |
|
firefight erupted on the Mexican side of the river; in the midst of |
|
the violence, he was transported to a hospital by DPS helicopter; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Through their courage and dedication to duty, these |
|
two outstanding officers have earned the respect and gratitude of |
|
their fellow Texans, who continue to hold them in their thoughts and |
|
prayers; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor Corporal Bryan Shaw and Trooper Danny Shaw |
|
for their commitment and perseverance, both on the job and during |
|
their recovery, and extend to them sincere best wishes for the |
|
future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared |
|
for the Shaw brothers as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
