POLICE OFFICER INJURED IN ASSAULT

A Lawrence Kansas Police Department Officer is recovering from a broken nose and facial injuries after being attacked by a man.

"Police were called to a disturbance. Shortly after arriving, the officer saw the man witnesses had described aggressively approach another resident and the officer attempted to speak with him.

The suspect immediately attacked the officer and punched her several times in the face. The resident who was nearby helped get the suspect to the ground and back-up officers quickly arrived.  The suspect was uncooperative and a danger to himself and others so medics took him to the hospital to be sedated then we transported him to the Douglas County Correctional Facility. 

*Thank you* to the gentleman who helped our colleague. 💙

The officer was treated at the hospital for a broken nose and other lacerations then released."

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for her recovery. 🙏🏻

JUST IN: The Chiefs win the AFC West for the 9th straight season.

Lara Trump is stepping down as co-chair of the RNC. Look for some real big news very soon.

🔥Last week, Republican Sen. John Kennedy introduced the subtly named “No Propaganda Act.” If enacted, it would end federal funding for America’s public media.

He joined an effort by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are heading up an amorphous cost-cutting advisory group for President-elect Donald Trump and have also suggested that support for public media should be eliminated from the federal budget.

Musk’s suggestion and Kennedy’s bill got little press coverage for an understandable reason: It’s nothing new.

Kennedy is the latest in a long line of Republicans who have drafted legislation to defund NPR, PBS, their member stations and their primary funding mechanism, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Efforts to defund NPR and PBS have been raised by Republicans and successfully batted away by public media defenders with annual regularity for decades.

This time could be different. Republicans’ focus on the media has never been remotely this intense. While PBS has found some success on YouTube, NPR’s incomplete digital transformation, declining radio listenership, and high-profile political stumbles have left it weaker than ever. Now there’s greater concern among public radio figures than there has been in years about the future of NPR and public radio broadly.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Officer Jacob Candanoza and the Terrell Police Department, Texas. 🙏🏽

BREAKING OVERNIGHT: On Sunday, December 8, 2024 around 11:00 pm, Officer Jacob Candanoza, Badge Number 6190, initiated a traffic stop in the 1600 block of S. State Highway 34.

Officer Candanoza requested a cover unit and units were dispatched. Within moments of this dispatch, the Terrell Police Department Communications Division received two 9-1-1 calls regarding an officer being shot. They then received a radio transmission from a citizen giving the same information. Responding officers were advised of this information, along with Terrell Fire Department and CareFlite being dispatched.

Officers arrived on scene and confirmed an officer had been shot. Medical attention was administered immediately and Officer Candanoza was transported to Baylor Scott and White in Forney. Unfortunately,  Officer Candanoza did not survive the injuries sustained.

Officer Candanoza has been a police officer with the Terrell Police Department since July 2024. Our deepest condolences go out to his family as they navigate this tragic time.

Rest In Peace, Hero 💙🖤
