By Jennifer AthertonThe following pertains to a cultural context rather than any specific organization or agency. I have encountered a troubling increase in rhetoric questioning the suitability of women in law enforcement since the horrific attempted assassination of former President Trump. When I saw a female Secret Service agent on camera, I anticipated the inevitable backlash for something. There is always something. Unfortunately, the volume and intensity of the criticism have been overwhelming.

Please listen to the warnings from law enforcement and meteorologists -- TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!!
⚠️ We are experiencing heavy flooding on roadways throughout the Fort Walton Beach area at this time. Deputies are on scene in the area of the Cinco Bayou Bridge, Eglin Pkwy./South Ave., Racetrack Rd./Washington St., Eglin Pkwy./Hughes St., as well as various other areas. ⚠️ https://t.co/Rp1kdmvPcS
This is the second law enforcement line-of-duty death in Indiana in less than two weeks. 🙏🙏
It is with deep sadness that we must report that the Deputy initially involved in the altercation with an inmate has passed away from his injuries. Deputy John Durm faithfully served the people of Marion County as a Deputy Sheriff for almost four decades. https://t.co/R4QkcUrsEC
