   The statement aims to highlight the impact of the shutdown on Capitol Police, which could be seen as advocating for their welfare, but it also assigns blame, which may not fully align with doing no harm.
2. Principle 2:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue and instead places blame on a specific political group, which may hinder productive discussion. [-1]
