The third night of the Republican National Convention was filled with impassioned defenses of law enforcement and celebrations of the military, calling them heroes under assault from the Left while President Trump stands with them.

“President Trump and I know the men and women that put on the uniform of law enforcement are the best of us,” declared Vice President Mike Pence in his acceptance speech. “They put their lives on the line every day.” Pence paid tribute to a Department of Homeland Security officer who died during rioting as his widow looked on.
