At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Just the News article, Amanda Head reports on how The Wounded Blue is helping injured law enforcement officers who often face medical, financial, and bureaucratic abandonment after being hurt in the line of duty.
- Just the News is airing two Memorial Day weekend specials of “Just the News, No Noise” focused on injured first responders and law enforcement officers.
- The specials are being done in partnership with The Wounded Blue, a charitable advocacy group that assists wounded and disabled police officers.
- The article argues that unlike military veterans, injured police officers do not have a federal VA-style safety net when departments, workers’ compensation systems, or local governments fail them.
- Randy Sutton, founder and CEO of The Wounded Blue, spent 34 years in law enforcement before his career ended after he suffered a stroke while on patrol in Las Vegas.
- The Wounded Blue says it has supported more than 17,000 injured and disabled officers under the motto “Never Forgotten, Never Alone.”
- The article highlights Louisiana deputy Hali Bradford, who was shot during a 2023 domestic disturbance call and now faces severe long-term injuries, rehabilitation, and major therapy costs.
- It also features Tania Owens, whose husband was murdered while responding to a burglary call in 2016, and who now advocates for families of fallen officers.
- Dr. Ehsan Jazini of the Virginia Spine Institute is profiled for treating catastrophically injured officers who were delayed, denied, or mishandled by the workers’ compensation system.
- The piece frames the broader issue as one of public servants being praised when useful but too often discarded once permanently injured.
