Tim Pearce returns to the Vision InSites Podcast with Kristina Ripatti, a former LAPD officer whose story is rooted in resilience, recovery, and a lifelong commitment to justice.
Kristina and Tim reflect on their years working together in South Los Angeles, the trust and discipline that shaped their partnership, and the 2006 on-duty shooting that changed Kristina’s life. She shares the ongoing realities of living with a spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury, returning to the gym, becoming a licensed clinical social worker, and advocating for people who face barriers to necessary medical care.
In this conversation:
• How Kristina’s drive for justice led her to law enforcement
• What made Tim and Kristina effective police partners
• The lasting impact of an on-duty shooting
• Why spinal cord injuries affect far more than mobility
• Kristina’s advocacy for timely care, accommodations, and disability rights
