I Came Back… But Not Really & PTSD Awareness month
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
The boys discuss Ayman's article (link here) on Havok Journal where he talks about coming back from war....but not really. The changes, the pressures, the unmistakable differences in internal and external life.
They get into the nitty gritty of the process - what it does to someone in the armed forces as well as in Policing. Here is an excerpt:
"About a couple of weeks went by, and it was more of the same. Hardly any sleep. Sitting in the living room. Watching TV, trying to make the time pass. I took melatonin, and that didn’t work. I had some messed up dreams that forced me awake. One night (my sister told me this because I don’t remember), my sister found me sitting up in my bed and staring at the wall in front of me. My sister got my attention and we sat on the couch and watched movies.
Another couple of weeks go by. I could feel this rage inside me that I’ve been trying to keep contained. It had been so difficult. My room, the walls were full of holes from the amount of times I had punched them."
Have a listen.

NYPD cop who hit record - when "Supervisor" decided to FLEX (alpha syndrome)
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
We all know them. The supervisors who like to FLEX (most of the times its a wanna be flex lololol). Even our fellow brothers and sisters who just want to tell you that they are the "alpha" - you know, the ones who practice in the mirror all the time. The syndrome.
Even as supervisors, you see the other superiors who love to make themselves feel better about themselves. Yelling, Screaming, treating folks like they aren't grown as$ men and women. Like children.
We've all experienced it - Personally i liked to play the game and get in their heads even more..knowing they would huff and puff for a while. But SOMETIMES, it gets too much.
It's silly right?
Wellllllll, its' all fun and games until an Officer feels threatened and hits RECORD. There is NO reason for this. NONE. ZERO reason to rise your voice or act like a child.
If you have done this - you've lostand maybe it's time to reassess what you can and cant handle.
Theres some controversy on this one guys. Lots of departments have rules and regs stating that you cant record another employee. Maybe THESE things need to change as well.

This week's midweek roll call the guys did a little bit fo a different episode:
A shout out to the TWO Braintree MA police Officers who were shot, and the death of one of the K9s - who helped saved the lives of the Officers
Along with the tragic death of the Worcester Police Officer (Ofc Manny Familia) who lost his life while trying to save others.
We know the midweek roll calls usually highlight good work but the guys felt to the ned to get this info out there since we know the media barely reports these things.
Speedy recovery to our brothers in Braintree.
RIP K9 Kitt . RIP Ofc Manny - We have the watch from here.

The boys discuss Ayman's article on Havok Journal (love them btw) which caused a little bit of controversy. "Everyone loses by making the police scapegoats for bad policies" - and someones NUTTY (we added that in thereafter).
I mean , there was some legit keyboard warrior / FB medal of Valor going on - and Pete trolled HARD. In true Pete Fashion.
I bet y'all didn't know that the above article was Ayman's way of secretly telling everyone that the Police should be compared to the 3rd reich. (FOH) . Must be why he was wearing sunglasses!

Baltimore county PO's, murder, a burning house via PSYCHO
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
Wow - just wow. This week the guys highlight the incredible actions by Baltimore county Officers who faced a sh*t sandwich they were served. One officer took the order and threw it right back - while leading the charge to completely stop the threat.
Such badas$ery is rare to see. We can tell that they train together. Kudos to these Officers. If anyone knows them please get us their contact info so we can get them some swag and give a personal tip of the hat.
