Suicide is normal. I will die of suicide just like a lot a lot of people will die
To take orders with out having a conscience is what their problem is. They don't know what right and wrong is. They walking soulless beings.
400 years,a racist system,racist laws,corrupt police enforcements, courts, judges,politicians this land is tainted with the blood 🩸 of the chosen people of the most high so it will be
So what keep dieing
Payback
No blue isis gang member risk their lives for anyone. More lies and propaganda from fake news enemy of the people.
It was brought to my attention in career counseling that choosing law enforcement over the endless list of other professions is a sign of severe mental illness! Without a doubt there's much truth to that!
When BLM demands Police to be defunded so they can’t afford to pay for mental counselors.
How many of these cops were responsible of countless suicides in general population after getting life destroyed by wrongful arrests.
Good
The saddest part is no one cares because groups like BLM and others have brainwashed their supporters into no longer seeing police officers as human, with human vulnerabilities and human emotions
Awww
You know what people don’t realize and it has to do with the stigma. News agencies and the medias love to report police misconduct. While iam all for exposing corruption, police misconduct, and abusing their authority.
what people don’t realize is for every negative incident that happens there are multiple officers upholding the law and doing their jobs on a daily basis but that’s rarely put out in the media. It’s not exciting to viewers when police do their ordinary duties which is why the view of police is bad.
For you guys are so blinded by hatred against law enforcement they forget that are good officers.
The news agency and media would much rather news of police misconduct as a story as opposed to actual law enforcement. For thos ppl I hope their house get robbed and just a friendly reminder don’t ask police for help
They realize that they are being used to implement the elimination of the lower and middle class…. Oops I had my tin foil hat on, just ignore me
One less POS at a time
I TOTALLY SUPPORT OUR MEN & WOMAN IN BLUE!!!! Please reach out for help because we APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO!!!
Policing is not spiritually right. Controlling people is evil. People who use violence are evil. It is NO HUMANS RIGHT to control others. Their guilt must have caught up to them that's why they killed themselves because they are hated and unneeded.
