In the early morning hours of July 21, 2025, Recruit Deputy Matthews and his Field Training Officer, Deputy McLain, were responding to an intense high priority call involving an officer from Vilonia Police Department needing immediate assistance. The officer was being assaulted and not in good condition. Deputy McLain and Recruit Deputy Matthews  responded to the call without hesitation. During their Code-3 response to assist the other officer, their patrol vehicle was involved in a devastating crash with another vehicle on Hwy 64E outside of Conway.  After leaving the roadway, their vehicle hit a concrete structure, spun around violently into a tree, and came to rest upside down alongside a residence off of Hwy 64. The force of the collision caused significant damage to the vehicle, rendering it inoperable. It was actively leaking fluids into the engine compartment and passenger compartment. Along with a ruptured gas main, there was a high potential for fire or explosion at the scene.

Despite suffering multiple injuries himself, Recruit Deputy Matthews recognized the immediate danger and the condition of his training officer. Disregarding his own injuries, Recruit Deputy Matthews turned his focus entirely on saving his partner, who was partially unresponsive and trapped in the vehicle. With time potentially running out, Recruit Deputy Matthews managed to cut his own seatbelt, crawl out of the wreckage, cut his partner’s seatbelt, and pull his partner free from the mangled wreckage. Dragging his partner to safety, despite his own pain and limited mobility, he ensured that emergency responders could attend to both of them without further danger. Fortunately, as of today, July 24, 2025, both Deputies are in stable condition and expected to return to service after recovering from their injuries. 

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Vilonia Police Department, and we wish their officer a speedy recovery. We also wish to express our thoughts and prayers to the driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision and the occupants of the residence affected by the crash. We wholeheartedly appreciate all of the responding agencies that assisted during this time including Liberty Fire Department, Pafford EMS, Arkansas State Police, Beaverfork Fire Department, Survival Flight, and any others. In addition, we wish to express our appreciation to the brave citizens who stopped to offer assistance themselves. We appreciate the outpouring of support over the past few days as two of our own recover. We would ask the public for continued privacy and support during this time for our injured deputies and their families.

It's better to let mentally ill people buy and use meth and fentanyl on sidewalks, believes Gavin Newsom, than arrest their drug dealers, and them, and mandate rehab.

But enabling Mexican-Chinese drug mafias to murder mentally ill Americans with fentanyl, as they do everyday and did again a few hours ago in San Francisco, as the video above shows, is barbaric and pathological.

I thus applaud Trump's announcement that he will crack down on open air drug use and the government policies that encourage addiction.

Harm reduction led to drug deaths rising from 20,000 in 2000 to over 100,000 in 2023. The federal government should have acted decades ago to stop the barbarism.

Seventy percent of Californians last November voted to crack down on fentanyl. Newsom opposed that measure (Prop 36) and is starving its implementation of resources, for the simple reason that he needs Soros money for his presidential run.

Californians should support the federal government in, finally, doing the right thing on addiction and the drug death crisis.

Today, we honored the life and legacy of Sergeant Shiou Deng.

Sergeant Deng was more than just a supervisor at West LA Division. He was the heartbeat of every watch, the one lifting spirits with humor, kindness, and food (especially pizza). Whether he was cracking jokes or offering reassurance during tough moments, he made everyone around him feel seen and supported.

Joining the LAPD in 1998, Shiou served across multiple divisions with unwavering dedication — including over 16 years in our Mental Evaluation Unit, where he brought compassion and calm to some of the most challenging situations. He wasn’t just good at his job — he was made for it.

He had a way of saying “Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay” that actually made you believe it.

To his family — thank you for sharing Shiou with us. He made us all better.

Rest easy, Sergeant Deng. Serial No. 35049. You are End of Watch, but Never Forgotten.

⚠️Traffic Advisory⚠️

Alameda between Aliso and Temple.

Use caution in the area due to protestors in the street. All lanes of traffic may be affected.

Watch: Kevin Kiley is calling for multiple federal investigations into how Fire Aid is distributing $100 million in aid.

"The most important thing is to see exactly where the money went and to restore the confidence of the people who gave so generously."

Fire Aid isn't giving directly to fire victims but is giving to non-profits...who are tasked with giving out the $.

Rep. Kiley says Fire Aid contacted him directly after he spoke on the House floor.

"I give them credit for them reaching out...I'm certainly open to hearing whatever they have to say."

The two shared a tearful hug.💙
