To be honest, this one hurts.

Many of us were watching last night when Knox County Sheriff's Office (Tennessee, not Maine) Deputy Dalton Swanger was viciously attacked in on live TV during On Patrol: Live.What started as a shots fired call ended with a senseless act of violence that left Deputy Swanger critically injured…and left thousands of viewers, officers, and families across the country stunned.

While clearing the area, he was struck in the head by a rock or brick thrown by a suspect, an act of violence so sudden and so vicious it left him critically injured.

No warning. No time to react. Just an ambush captured live on national television.

To say it shook us would be an understatement. It is a reminder, seen in real time by a nationwide audience, of just how fast things can change in this job. One second you are handling a call. The next, your brothers and sisters are dragging you to safety…praying for you to open your eyes…hoping you can get up. Last night, Deputy Swanger could not. Not after the blow that struck him.

And yet, in the moments that followed, his fellow deputies stepped up without hesitation. They dragged him out. Rendered aid. Took control of the chaos. That kind of response is instinct. It is training. But most of all, it is heart.

Deputy Swanger remains in critical condition this afternoon. Knox County Sheriff’s Office is working hard to keep everyone updated. Our thoughts, our prayers, and every bit of support we have is with Deputy Swanger, his family, and the Knox County team.

This was an attack on one of our own. An attack on the uniform. It is a reality check for every officer out there that the dangers are always real, always present, and no one is immune.

To the public, know this…officers across the country watched this unfold in real time, powerless to change the outcome, but united in the weight of it. We felt it in our stomachs. We felt it in our chest. We felt it because we know what it means to walk into the unknown with only your training and your partners beside you.

We will not stop doing the job. We will not stop standing together. We will not stop training to protect each other and the public.

When you ask why law enforcement sometimes takes control of a situation quickly and with force, this is why. Because danger can come without warning. Because if we hesitate, it can cost lives. It will not always look pretty or friendly, but it is done to prevent moments like this one.

For now, Deputy Swanger, we are all behind you. We are with you in thought and in prayer.🙏🏻

After repeated legal failures, animal rights activists are pressuring banks to blacklist hunting and farming industries. However, the banks are pushing back, for now.

Jason Rantz: It should come as no surprise that the protest today in Seattle wasn’t merely anti-America and pro-Iran, it was antisemitic and pro-socialist — backed by radical organizations Party for Socialism and Liberation, and ANSWER Coalition.

I know you’re all wondering it: the B2 has a lavatory on board (along with a bed and a microwave).

Just when you think that maybe Los Angeles has hit rock bottom...

The official, verified LA County Sheriff’s Dept posted, then edited, then deleted this eyebrow raising post appearing to express condolences for the “tragic” US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Have to imagine someone went rogue here w/ an unapproved post. What a PR disaster.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation overseas alongside our local, state, and federal partners.

At the moment, there are no known threats to Los Angeles County. However, out of an abundance of caution, we are increasing patrol checks at places of worship and other sensitive locations throughout the county.

The safety and security of our communities remain our top priority. We will continue to assess and respond to any developments as they arise.

If you see something, say something.

Sadly, we just had a drowning and we recovered the individual in 55 foot deep water. With the onset of warmer weather and a substantial increase in water activity, we urge people to employ flotation devices and wear them if they are not strong swimmers, irrespective of the situation. Additionally, it is crucial to have life-saving equipment on board boats to rescue individuals in distress. A enjoyable day on the water can rapidly become a tragic moment.

We are issuing this statement to formally apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media post recently posted on our Department social media platforms regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran. This post was unacceptable, made in error, and does not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the Department. As a law enforcement agency, we do not comment on foreign policy or military matters. Our mission remains solely focused on protecting public safety and serving our diverse communities.

We fully recognize that the words and messages we share carry weight. As law enforcement professionals, we are entrusted with a position of public responsibility, and that trust demands that we communicate accurately. In this instance, we fell short of that expectation, and we are taking quick corrective action. We are committed to learning from this failure and to prevent such incidents from occurring again.

We have updated our social media post and have launched an internal review to determine how it was created and published. Steps are being taken to strengthen our social media oversight protocols and ensure that any future communications align with our Department’s standards of professionalism, respect, and accountability.

We appreciate the continued trust of our community and will work diligently to reaffirm that trust every day.
