Got Worries? Too many? Too often?

I find it really interesting that instead of dealing w/ individual on a call this article starts off by assuming that the officer is a 'psych' case and that they are in need of psychiatric treatment.

To those of us who have actually worked and had the 'snot' beaten out of us on our 1st call (hey, we all have had it happen to us , right ?) this crap that officer's wind-up being labeled with (and being either fired, 'terminated for cause' or worse, labeled as "medically retired due to PTSD", as GENERALIZED STRESS DISORDER is nothing more than than what is actually being taught at the Academy as OFFICER SAFETY TECHNIQUES AND TACTICS.

I seriously doubt that anyone who has to toe to toe with someone who is more than determined, and demonstrated their intent (Nothing demonstrates deep doo-doo like seeing a sofa come flying thru a door) to put a hurt on you (and we all do intend to go home at the end of shift, correct ?) does not suffer from some stress as a result. But do we voluntarily open our mouth and tell someone, who apparently is more than unable to keep a patient confidence ? To those of you folks who work the streets, the jails and 'pen's', please, KEEP THIS IN MIND. Every time you open your mouth to anyone who is not working for you or has a record of 'giving up' someone for some favor, you risk your professional career. That means that those people that we are sworn to help, protect and serve wind up being put at risk because someone else decides that their personal agenda is more important than the work we do and the help we can bring to the situation they are in. The same goes for the Agency's lawyer's. They work to protect the Agency, not you. So when you hear that 'for both your own good and tbhe Agency's' speech, know what you are getting into early.
