Paramedics, Doctors, Nurses, Councilors, Priests, Nuns, and Social Workers deal with it every day too. Yet, they don't go berserk and beat someone near to death over it. Why is it that these people can remain professional, but the police can't? Are you suggesting that the Police are more immature, less professional than any of them? Perhaps you are suggesting that the police are more psychologically or emotionally unstable than the rest of the people.
There was an old saying when I was in the army. The maximum effective range of an excuse is zero.
As mentioned above there are only a few examples replayed in the msm to fuel boners for people like you. It's off the charts stupid to compare the professions, emergency and medical services are far different than law enforcement.
But the stress is supposedly what pushes the cops over the edge. Yet, others are exposed to that stress, and much much more. They don't go over the edge. Veterinarians have one of the toughest jobs. They become Vets to help the animals they love, and all too often all they can do is put the animal down because it is suffering and there is little else we can do.
Veterinarians don't go nuts for a few minutes and throw a beating on someone.
Social Workers deal in broken families where drugs, abuse, and violence is the norm. They wade through it day in and out. Yet they don't lose it and go full blown violent for no reason and claim it was the stress of seeing the abuse that drove them around the bend.
Doctors in the Emergency Room in your local hospital will see abuse victims today. They will see them. The Doctor doesn't pick up the paddles and zap the adult standing there with the cardiac jump starter because they just couldn't take it anymore.
They see the same victims. Only the Doctor knows the physical damage, and the fact that the damage won't heal ever. The Doctor looks at little girls and knows that they were raped, and that they were damaged permenantly, and that this little girl will never grow up and have a baby because of the thoughtless actions of a man.
So why do the Police lose it and why is it understandable that they do? Why are the Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, and the rest so much more professional, able to manage their feelings without resorting to violent impulses? Tell me how it is different? Tell me the Nurse who is standing by the bed watching a little girl bleed to death as the Doctors work feverishly to save her life is not affected by that. Tell me how the Doctor who finally looks up and calls the time from the clock with the hated words time of death is not saddened by this.
The difference is that the Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, and the rest are professionals, and accept that they will do everything in their power to help whoever is on the bed. They even help the bastard who did it to that poor child, as they try and heal the injuries inflicted by the Police Officer who lost control of their emotions.
I can tell you the difference. The Doctor became one because they wanted to help people, save lives. The same is true of the nurses, and paramedics. The Social Worker wants to help people too.
The cop wants to punish people. To make them pay for whatever they did. The Doctors and Nurses and Paremedics do their jobs, and try to live up to the reason they went into that line of work. The cop finds he isn't supposed to punish people, and that frustrates him. He doesn't like it very much.
robably" in the sentence you questioned?
