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. Despite her years of loyal service, she says she was met with disbelief and callousness from the City of Los Angeles when she sought support in her time of need. 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.

The LAPD, renowned as one of the largest municipal police departments in the United States, must confront this shameful episode and strive to uphold the values of justice, compassion, and integrity that are essential to its mission. Anything less would be a disservice not only to Officer Kaplan but to all who wear the badge with honor and dedication.

Deputy Sheriff Died, State Ignores The Family.  Deputy Daryl Wayne Shuey, a dedicated member of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department in Washington, tragically lost his life in the line of duty on November 10, 2020, succumbing to a heart attack while on patrol at 6:00 am. Engaged in the disposal of heavy items related to a prior case, Deputy Shuey was found unresponsive next to his patrol vehicle. Despite efforts at the MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital, he passed away at 7:00 am. Deputy Shuey's unwavering commitment spanned 26 years of service with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. He leaves behind his wife, two children, mother, and two brothers.

Karen Shuey, his widow, courageously shares the story of his death, reflecting on its profound impact on her and her children and the sense of being unjustly robbed by the State. The journey from the funeral to the deliberate omission of his name on a memorial wall is a testament to the disrespect she feels. Deputy Sheriff Died, State Ignores The Family. 

The grieving widow's dismay is heightened by the fact that Deputy Shuey's name is absent from the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial, despite national recognition. Of the 341 individuals commemorated for sacrificing their lives since 1854, Karen Shuey asserts that her husband's absence is a heart-wrenching omission. She emphasizes his dedicated service, the ultimate sacrifice he made, and her belief that he rightfully belongs on that memorial wall. 

Deputy Sheriff Died, State Ignores The Family.  Despite national acknowledgment, including engraving his name on the Fallen Officer Memorial in Spokane and inclusion on the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C., the state-level recognition remains elusive. The Department of Justice, under the Hometown Heroes Act, recognized Deputy Shuey's line-of-duty death, qualifying his family for federal death benefits.

However, the nonprofit organization Behind the Badge, responsible for adding names to the state memorial, follows specific criteria. While heart attacks can be considered line-of-duty deaths if occurring during stressful or strenuous non-routine activities, Karen Shuey contests the inconsistency in applying these criteria, particularly in her husband's case. Deputy Sheriff Died, State Ignores The Family. 

The Washington State Fraternal Order of Police (WAFOP) echoes Karen Shuey's concerns, advocating for legislative changes to ensure that officers recognized nationally receive the honor they deserve within their home state. The call for uniformity and fairness in recognizing the sacrifice of officers like Deputy Daryl Wayne Shuey reverberates through the plea for the amendment of state law.

Bush in 2002, Plousis played a crucial role in implementing the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Safe Surrender program in the Garden State and worked on high-profile cases domestically and abroad.
