CANNERY AND HE BECAME A SHOP
STEWARD FOR HIS UNION. HE MOVED
ON TO BECOME A CENSUS TAKER IN

OPERATOR CAN- AND HE NEVER TOOK
NO FOR AN ANSWER WHEN IT CAME TO
ADVANCING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
HE WAS AN UNABASHEDLY STAUNCH
ADVOCATE- AND HE ELEVATED OTHERS
WITH THE ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM
OF HIS WORK AND HIS INSIGHT. HAS
BEEN FELT A RESPONSIBILITY TO
ESTABLISH A PUBLIC PRESENCE I TO
BE IN THE STREETS NEVER TO HIGH
NEVER TO BE SECRETIVE- AND TEN
FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHO
HE WANTS IN HIS FIGHT- KRISTEN
WAS MY NEIGHBOR- I KNOWN HIM FOR
MANY MANY YEARS HE LIVES ABOUT

LEADER IN THE RECOVERY
COMMUNITY- IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND
HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF ALICE B. TOKLAS
LGBT Q. DEMOCRATIC CLUB. HI
DEATH- IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE OF
THE LOSS FOR THE CASTRO
COMMUNITY- THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WE ALL HAVE THEM IN
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR
DISTRICT THERE ARE THOSE. THAT
SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MAKE
THINGS HAPPEN AND YOU DON'T NEED
TO BE ASKED OR TOLD WHAT TO DO
THEY JUST SORT OF. KNOW THAT
THEY GET UP AND THEY DO THE WORK
AND THEY DO IT WITHOUT ACCOLADES
AND KRISTIN WAS ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE HE DIED VERY VERY
SUDDENLY. AND UNEXPECTEDLY- AND

NEXT UP IS SENATOR RUBIO. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE TODAY I
STAND WITH A HEAVY HEART. TO ASK
THAT WE CLOSE ON BEHALF OF OMANI
POLICE CHIEF SPEND LAURIE. QUITE
GOTTEN A REALLY WELL. I WANT TO
START BY SENDING MY CONDOLENCES
TO HIS FAMILY DOWN MONEY POLICE
THEY'LL MONEY COMMUNITY. WHO
LOST NOT ONLY A GREAT CHIEF BUT
EVEN BETTER HUMAN BEING. CHIEF
LARA BEGAN HIS LAW ENFORCEMENT
CAREER BACK IN TWO THOUSAND WITH
THE L. A. COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. LATER HE JOINED THE
A MONEY POLICE IN TWO THOUSAND
TWO HE WAS APPOINTED ACTING
CHIEF IN DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY
ONE AND BECAME THE PERMANENT
CHIEF. THIS PAST JUNE OF TWENTY
TWENTY TWO JUST FIVE MONTHS
BEFORE HIS PASSING. DURING THIS
TIME ALMIGHTY WENT THROUGH A
VERY DIFFICULT TIME. TWO OF
THEIR POLICE OFFICERS WERE
FATALLY SHOT. AND IT WAS HIS JOB
TO COMFORT THE COMMUNITY THE
FAMILIES STAFF. AND THIS ENTIRE
TIME YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT HE
WAS DEALING WITH HIS OWN
ILLNESS. HE WANTED TO TAKE CARE
OF OTHERS SO HE NEVER SAID
ANYTHING. TO ME INTO SOME OF US
IT WAS SUDDEN. BUT HE NHÀ HE
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
HIS COMMUNITY. HIS POLICE
OFFICERS AND EVERYONE ELSE WAS
OKAY. BEFORE TAKING CARE OF
HIMSELF. HE HELD A VARIETY OF
CRITICAL ROLES HE DID IT ON. TOO
LONG OF A LIST TO LIST. HIS
COMMITMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT
ALONG WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR AND
LEADERSHIP STYLE ALLOWED HIM TO
DEVELOP GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH
HIS STAFF. CITY EMPLOYEES BOTH
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT. I ONLY RECENTLY
LEARNED THAT DURING STAFF
MEETINGS HE WOULD OFTEN TELL HIS
OFFICERS TO LEAVE YOUR EAGLES
AND RANKS AT THE DOOR. IT DOES
NOT MATTER HERE WE ARE HERE TO
SOLVE PROBLEMS. HE WAS A MAN. OF
TRUE VALUES AND ALWAYS TRIED HIS
BEST TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING
TO DO. JAKE FISHER THE CURRENT
ALL MONEY TO THE POLICE AND
FRONT OF CHIEF LAURIE DESCRIBED
HIM AS SOMEONE NOT AFRAID OF A
FIGHT WHEN WERE INTENT. HIS
CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND DESCRIBED
HIM AS A PROTECTOR. WHEN THE
CHIEF SPOKE AT THE FUNERAL OF TO
FALL IN EL MONTE POLICE OFFICERS
. CHIEF LARI SAID. THEY LEFT
THIS WORLD AS VALUED BALIAN
HEROES NOT BECAUSE OF HOW THEY
DIED BUT BECAUSE OF HOW THE LID
. THE EXACT STATEMENT HOLDS TRUE
FOR CHIEF LAURIE AS HE DEDICATED
HIS LIFE TO PROTECTING OTHERS.
TAKING CARE OF HIS COMMUNITY.
HAS POLICE OFFICERS AND EVERYONE
AROUND HIM. AND DOING SO HE DID
THAT WITH THE UTMOST INTEGRITY
HONOR AND BRAVERY. I WAS
FORTUNATE TO GET TO KNOW HIM.
HAD MANY MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH
HIM. AND I JUST GENERALLY
THOUGHT HE WAS SUCH A GOOD HUMAN
BEING. IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER I
MET HIS FATHER AND I HAD A BRIEF
CONVERSATION WITH HIM. THAT I
UNDERSTOOD WHY. WHY SHE WAS WHO
HE WAS HIS BIG HEART IS KIND A
MEANER. JUST THAT CARING SPIRIT.
AND IT WAS HIS FATHER WHO REALLY
SHOWED ME WHERE HE CAME FROM. IT
WAS THE DAY OF HIS. HIS FOR A
FUNERAL AND HIS FATHER COMES UP
TO ME AND ASKED ME. HOW I WAS
DOING IF I WAS OK. AND THANK ME
FOR MY SERVICE HERE AT THE STATE
CAPITOL. THIS IS A MAN WHO WAS
HURTING AND YET HE TOOK TIME TO
LOOK OUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE AS
WELL SO NOW WE KNOW. WHY CHIEF
LAURIE WAS. THE GREAT HUMAN
BEING THAT HE WAS. MY THOUGHTS
AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY
. HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE
AMBER AND THEIR FOUR CHILDREN
JACOB ALLAH IV AND PORTER. HE
FOUND LAURIE THANK YOU SO MUCH

COMMUNITY. YOUR MEMORY WILL
ALWAYS LIVE ON THIS SIDE OF ALL
