So what is up with these people…

Why do they do this kind of stuff, do they need help, it is a really hard job to do, in fact stats reveal that 85 percent of most people can not do the job that most police do, in fact that means that fewer than 20 percent of the population is relied upon to protect the rest of us…

but this guy should never have been behind a badge…

Now we have this story, the story of a man who just because he could shot and killed four police officers, this is just evil, it is no wonder that we so often see cops that over react, because they just do not know what to expect, when you see stories like this one, you have to know that it really weighs on the minds of police officers all across the nation.

No matter the outcome here our thoughts and prayers, go out to these officers families.

Swat teams called in to clear the area, family and friends of this man reportedly helped him in his efforts to escape.

or are they just doing their jobs?

Holy Banshee, what is the deal with this stuff.

Some wonder, if that is something that can be done or if it is something that has to be done.

Police should do everything to resolve a situation before force is needed, it is a hard job and  for the most part most people can not do this job, yet it is a job that is so political that many police officers are finding it almost impossible to do in the right way.

It is truly a catch 22 situation, if you do or if you dont you still have the same problems.

Police see the very worst of humanity on a daily basis, every day every month every year, they see the worst of us, often they do not have friends outside the police community, very often they do not even trust anyone outside the community.

In some cases they do not even trust many that are in the community, this creates a real problem for these lets say it, heros, because you have to be one to do this job for long.

So, is there not something that can be done to help these people because they are human too but they have to deal with the worst of what it means to be human, so as a consequence of that inconvenient truth, they very often react first then think later because that could be the difference between life and death, this kind of situation leads to danger for the public, more so if the officer is tired.

So again, what can be done, and what should be done, in the last few weeks, stats came out that suggest that there is an increase in officer suicide, even more problematic is that in some cases, assisted suicide could be taking place and that is something that needs to be handled.

However the problem is that for most officers, visiting a shrink goes on your record and that is also something you do not want, which leads to more officers needing some form of help, even if it is just someone to talk to without fear of that private conversation going public.

Which leads you back to the catch 22 situation all over again.

One thing remains clear, these men and women need not only help but they need understanding, because without them we are all in trouble.
