[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3869515, member: 45773"] Why do you confuse disagreement with your position as anger. I'm not angry. You just can't seem to understand someone else is brutally honest and has a different point of view so you process that as deciding that person is angry...because they vehemently disagree with your position. My issue is people who think their assessment of an issue and the solution is the only viable one...especially when that assessment/solution is so far out of mainstream, logical thinking that it's almost unimaginably unbelievable. Not everyone deals with life-altering incidents like you do. Advocating the forced retirement of officers who do their jobs, and do it well, because they did something they knew they might have to do at some point in their career, and something society expects them to do when needed, is really indefensible. I went thru many life-altering events as a police officer including: seeing my supervisor shot and killed by a madman that, unfortunately, surrendered when another officer started firing at him, holding dead babies, seeing all sorts of other horrors like the events at Columbine High School. Should officers that endure that sort of stuff not be forced to retire also? No...they shouldn't. They should be offered help and assistance, if needed, to sort things out if it bothers them. Forcing them out of job they likely enjoy and fought hard to get would most likely just compound the situation and sends the message they're not needed and not trusted. Believe me...there's enough of that going around within society right now. The bottom line is you're assessment/solution isn't a one-size-fits-all option. [/QUOTE]
