Police officers have to see and do a lot of things that the normal civilians may never have to encounter, and thankfully so! Officers see dead bodies, broken families, violence, children that are harmed, mass casualties, bad car wrecks, suicides and so much more. Processing all this can be cumbersome.

By Steve Pomper Everyone knows about the antagonistic environment too many police officers work under these days. We mainly hear about the struggles between cops and anti-police individuals, groups, politicians, and those conflicts caused by poor or negative reporting by the media.
