Police Officer Violently Attacked, Shock from the City. Special Episode.  L.A.P.D. Officer Shares Horrific Tale of Assault: Betrayal by City of Los Angeles. In a shocking turn of events, a dedicated police officer of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has come forward to reveal the harrowing details of a vicious assault that left her disabled for life.

Bri Kaplan, a resilient member of the force, was tragically attacked, resulting in severe and permanent injuries that have altered the course of her life. However, the most staggering blow came from the very institution she swore to protect and serve.

Police Officer Violently Attacked, Shock from the City. Special Episode.

Shockingly, she was informed that the city claimed to be financially incapable of providing her with the retirement she deserved due to her debilitating condition. Instead of offering solace and aid, she was essentially told to relinquish her career or face termination.

According to her, the egregious response highlights a profound betrayal of trust and duty by the city towards one of its own officers who bravely put her life on the line in the line of duty. Kaplan's struggle for justice and dignity in the face of such adversity is not just her own, but a reflection of systemic issues within law enforcement and municipal governance.

Cop Killer Paroled, The Hearing for Them and Others. Insight into crucial parole proceedings as an Alternate Parole Board member for the New Jersey State Parole Board, Dr. Paitakes brings to bear his extensive 50-year background, which includes stints as a probation officer, esteemed professor at Seton Hall University, and author.

Recalling a grim chapter in New Jersey's annals, Dr. Paitakes revisits a fateful summer night in 1963 when two police officers were gunned down in a local bar, leaving one assailant incarcerated for a lifetime, an incarceration that spanned decades until an unexpected parole release. The grisly incident serves as a stark reminder of the perils faced by law enforcement. Cop Killer Paroled, The Hearing for Them and Others.

Central to Dr. John Paitakes' narrative are the parole hearings he has participated in, notably one concerning a convicted cop killer. Despite the inmate's apparent lack of remorse and antagonistic demeanor toward the parole board, parole was ultimately granted upon appeal, underscoring the delicate balance between rehabilitation and public safety.

Dr. Paitakes also explores the peculiar case of an inmate vehemently opposed to parole, shedding light on the deep-seated effects of institutionalization on those ensnared within the system. These reflections illuminate the manifold challenges inherent in parole decision-making.

Noteworthy is the New Jersey State Parole Board's emphasis on involving crime victims in the parole process, offering avenues for their voices to be heard. Encouraging active engagement from victims and their families ensures thorough consideration of their concerns, with provisions for confidential testimony and dedicated victim services exemplifying the board's commitment to safeguarding their privacy and well-being.

Dr. Paitakes' extensive expertise and unwavering commitment to justice advocacy continue to shape discussions on criminal justice reform. As an educator, consultant, and advocate, he remains a steadfast champion in the ongoing quest for a fair and equitable justice system. He documents much of that in the book he wrote, "50 Years Working in Criminal Justice". Cop Killer Paroled, The Hearing for Them and Others.
