Mental illness is something one has to deal with on their own. No one’s going to give you a magic pill to cure mental illness, this is impossible .I have seen it countless times with my job and my own family members. If you want to lecture me about mental illness go for it. I was a victim of domestic violence, child abuse and other violent crimes I chose to no longer be a victim and I took the NYPD exam and now have 15+ years on the job.

Oh great, a cop who thinks nobody might need help to get back up on their feet. Sorry, but the world doesn't work that way. We all live on the same planet and it takes a community effort to make things better along with individual effort. I in no way implied that mental illness can be cured with a magical pill, it's a process. And the fact you think nobody else deserves any support in doing so because supposedly nobody helped you at all, is really sad. So you got zero support from anything eh? Absolutely zero government or community programs? Did you live on the streets? How did you afford a place to live when you were going through all that stuff?

With that attitude I can safely guess you are not the kind of cop we need on the streets. I feel bad for the fewer good cops who get shit because it seems they are surrounded by cops that don't get it - and your attitude exemplifies it.

No one’s coming to save you. No matter how many Ukrainian flags you pin to your chest, people will still die there.
