    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.

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
