Any call with kids always left me in shock. Kids getting hit by cars, SID deaths, abuse and especially sexual abuse. I had an LT that beat a CSP of a minor suspect, who was convicted later, to a bloody pulp. It took me a minute to pull him off. I didn't want to. I already knew everything about that arrest before I walked in on this. It is hard and to this day over 20 years later hearing about things like this or seeing it on TV triggers me. I truly did sacrifice myself for the community. This left me in a personal Hell for the rest of my life. PTSD, depression and anxiety is all I got for 17 years on the job. Was it worth it? I'd have to say yes. I really felt I was doing my part to keep the community safe. It's not sexy or glamorous to be a cop. That awesome uniform and badge, gun, etc means a little less with every messed up call I responded to. Being one step ahead and my training was what mattered.

[@SuperiorITS]

Thank you for explaining meeting people where "they're at". I agree that you must embed yourself into the community.

[@OnlyCops]

It's a huge part of being an actually good cop. The community need you to be part of them not just police them.

[@SuperiorITS]

@@OnlyCops I agree. I did security in high risk section 8 neighborhoods for 8 years and I'm also a police officer. When I was in the academy, people didn't understand why I said that sometimes you have to talk shit back when people talk shit to you. I do believe there must be boundaries, but I avoided many use of force issue because I had a reputation for going back with people. At the same time, there were very few time and people I had to do that with seriously, though there were some people who naturally communicate by calling you names and cussing you out and RESpect the same in return. I kept having to remind myself, and the responding officers, that we haven't made contact with majority of residents and they don't do anything except go to work and come home. We deal with the same people all the time, and they make the community bad. And after building a good rapport, you can easily learn the identities of those individuals and the rest of the community will provide the valuable information to get them out.

@@SuperiorITS based 🥰 thank you for your service man!

[@SuperiorITS]

@@OnlyCops You're welcome! And thank you all for your reviews and education!

​​@@SuperiorITSreminds me of the crash unit of the lapd from the 80s to late 90s. They were featured in the 1988 movie colors.

I will never understand how people especially parents can treat their kids and neglect them like that

[@OnlyCops]

It never ceases to amaze me

[@sivonni]

OMG, I was just mentioning this exact situation in a comment on another of your guys' videos. My cousin saw this exact situation, found a baby duct taped to the car seat and a toddler tied up with a cord and thought they were dead. They both survived but it messed up my cousin so much he quit the force soon after. He worked for LAPD at the time. Like, I get it's not unusual, but this exact scenario (from 30 years ago) in LAPD? Holy cow.

[@OnlyCops]

God bless him man, I had some bad calls involving kids but at least it wasn't that

[@STARGUN8687]

This episode was spot on.

[@OnlyCops]

Thanks!

I worked at a state hospital and 11 months after being knocked unconscious it hit me and I retired.

So weird tangent about those "victimless" crimes there's a anime called fate that has and interesting take on those "hidden" victims, the body of the show has to do with like wizards and mythological heroes, but in fate apocrypha they make jack the ripper a sort of anti hero concept, where instead of being a serial killer, it was the spirits of the murdered children hunting the women who killed them. it was the first time I saw media discuss vice in that way, and this was a second. Very important point, not talked about enough, not supported or addressed right.

[@OnlyCops]

What a great tangent! The side effects of vice are immeasurable and often lead society as a whole down a darker path unfortunately.

You might find it fun to know about some police community interaction here in Australia. We have, in multiple states, a program where you can come to a drag strip or race track and race against police officers and their vehicles. I don't know if this started here or if it was merely adopted. There are heavy penalties for hoons being morons in their cars on the streets so this is a nice way for police to provide a safe environment where they can test their cars.

[@OnlyCops]

That is so cool! We have a decent amount of open to the public race tracks and drag strips around the US but I've never heard of the police joining in on the fun. What a cool way to deter crime while serving the community!

[@AweEmperorofChickenKilling]

the cops boxing the ganster reminds me of the nwa lyrics something like "take off the badge and the gun and we'll go at it punk"

[@nickpatterson492]

there human to react that way there good

[@matthewhull5876]

I had an idea… do a three year cycle where officers can do other city or county jobs to gain other experience but also to allow them to decompress from the emotional stuff. Plus there are trained officers to assist in an emergency

[@PrograError]

Good idea for rural cops to get some practice in populated urban areas near their county (presuming the county they are in is basically out of nowhere...)

[@michaelcartwright1071]

Second!

[@OnlyCops]

Give Diego a treat for us!

[@joshuas6221]

First scrubs!
