SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 335
|
|
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 |
|
department 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
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 copies of this Resolution be prepared for the |
|
Shaw brothers as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
