A Minneapolis attorney says that more than 150 Minneapolis police officers have started the process of filing disability claims, with most stating they're suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Ron Meuser, Jr., of the firm Meuser, Yackley and Rowland, said that the disability claims have come in the last six weeks, following the killing of George Floyd and the ensuing nights of unrest. One of those nights included the 3rd Precinct police station being burned down.
“While law enforcement is a high-stress career, the last two months in Minneapolis have pushed many officers to their breaking point,” Meuser said, explaining that many officers feel exhausted from working long shifts.
“I’m seeing PTSD symptoms of officers with highly diminished capacity to live and socialize, extraordinary rates of divorce and alcohol dependency just to cope,” he said in a statement. “It is an emotional crisis that cannot and should not continue.”
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Is this a pro or anti OP re the Minni cops? Or just a public service announcement ? Not sure how to take it.Originally Posted by Bill

Question is, how many of these cops are ex-military? From what I've heard it's a big issue with former military joining the police and having problems adapting to civilian matters. My neighbor has PTSD from Vietnam and it's an oddball illness similar to my intrusive thought OCD. Everyone sees a normal you till they've been basically living or staying with you for a while. They both trigger numbing anxiety for something perceived that is often not there. They are often triggered by images and thoughts from past ordeals.

Yet you have no problem when 1 in every 3 1/2 blacks uses food stamps because they refuse to support themselves.

Just as claimed, you have no problem when 1 in every 3 1/2 blacks refuse to support themselves. I guess you're so used to them doing so, it seems like second nature.

It's Minneapolis, so, just remember... Winter is coming.

Is that because of you know mostly disability, and social security?
TANF enrollment, actually isn't that high, since Clinton's welfare reform.

They are abused by city leadership, the citizens have refused to stand up for them, so a lot of them are going to leave taking as much money as they can with them.

Yesterday Portland did not have enough cops on shift to deal with the riots, so they stood down.
I am pretty sure that this was the reason that Seattle also stood down during riots a few days ago.
Prepare for Hell, because Hell is most certainly coming.
