Exactly. We should be pointing to this when people start on their “it’s not a gun problem, it’s a mental health problem” bullshit. It’s a both problem, but since ya’ll want to talk about mental health, why don’t we do something about it?

Fetterman was in a position of privilege to be able to get the care he needed but everyone should have access, with no stigma and no fear that they’ll lose their jobs. Fetterman basically said “fuck stigma, this is what I need to do the job” and he sought the care he needed. Hopefully, it encourages others to do the same, and now he’s in a position to actually use that privilege he has and his elected position to make it happen for everyone else.

Exactly! I get into a lot of arguments with people when I say there is no such thing as a good cop because if there was police brutality would not be an issue, crooked cops wouldn’t exist. My father was NYPD for 12 years then Nassau County PD for 10 and I tell him he was never a good cop. I’m absolutely sure he saw some foul shit committed by his “brothers” and didn’t say anything on more than a few occasions

"The Fraternal Order of Police / Ohio Labor Council, the largest law enforcement labor organization in the state, said in a statement Thursday the 11 officers “are entitled to due process like all citizens” and encouraged “everyone to reserve judgment until facts are known.”

Oh, the irony.
