Officer Kristina Ripatti Is In Good Spirits But Not Out Of Danger.

LAPD officer Tim Pearce went public today on his brave wife’s condition. He told reporters that Kristina’s spirits and determination are high as she battles the possibility of paralysis from a bullet’s damage to her spinal cord.

It’s just too early to tell as fellow officers from across the country offer their prayers and best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. Tim Pearce said the department and their fellow officers have helped this family with incredible support.

I’ve gotten many e-mails from some of my law enforcement readers as far away as the UK asking for updates on Kristina’s condition.

Pearce talked about real concerns that He and his wife have that a death on the job could impact their young daughter. One thing for sure, Kristina and Tim’s child will always be proud of her brave parents.

I have to now ask, what are California’s far Left Wing politicians going to do to keep their own citizens safe from career criminals like James Fenton McNeal? How about ending the constant effort to throw out the Three Strikes Law? How about giving law-abiding citizens the right to a level playing field with killers, rapists and robbers by returning the right to carry a concealed weapon? Why would California rather protect the health, safety and welfare of violent criminals over honest citizens?

As for my readers who are not law enforcement officers perhaps the very next time you come into contact with a cop even during a dreaded traffic violation stop, take a moment to say thank you to that officer who may well give his or her life to keep you and yours safe.

    In the US, the right to carry a concealed weapon cannot be taken away without an amendment to the constitution. If it is illegal in a certain jurisdiction, the law is in conflict with the constitution and should be struck down. Simple as that.
