By: Bowers | H.R. No. 212 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Elizabeth Nyore demonstrated exceptional kindness | ||
and compassion by coming to the aid of an injured Rowlett police | ||
officer, Sergeant Greg Baldwin, in October 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, A 22-year veteran of law enforcement, Sergeant | ||
Baldwin was engaged in a foot chase with a man with outstanding | ||
warrants when he suffered a fall; the incident resulted in severe | ||
leg and hip injuries that caused agonizing pain to the officer; and | ||
WHEREAS, After hearing sirens and sounds of distress outside | ||
of her home, Liz Nyore immediately rushed to Sergeant Baldwin's | ||
side and did her best to comfort and calm the officer until | ||
paramedics arrived on the scene; now recovering from his injury, | ||
Sergeant Baldwin has returned to work in an administrative role for | ||
the Rowlett Police Department, and he looks forward to getting back | ||
on patrol as soon as possible; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Nyore, a Rowlett resident who proudly became a | ||
United States citizen in 2012, went out of her way to assist the | ||
officer, despite having preconceptions about law enforcement that | ||
she carried over from her upbringing in Nigeria; she credits her | ||
response on that day to the example of her mother, an orthopedic | ||
nurse, from whom she learned the importance of helping strangers in | ||
need; and | ||
WHEREAS, Liz Nyore's act of good citizenship is a testament | ||
to the invaluable role of caring members of the public in making our | ||
communities stronger and safer, and she is indeed deserving of | ||
special recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Elizabeth Nyore for providing comfort to | ||
an injured police officer and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Nyore as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
