let me tell you about my night from hell

[freefalle 0]

I got to work at 10;00 only to find out my cars RADAR was hooked up backwards, not that I really give a shit, I dont use it anyway but my Sgt. noticed it during a vehicle inspection. Then I got my ass chewed for something I said,,,, okay I deserved the ass chewing but it still sucked. Handled 2 robberies and a Domestic before lunch. Lunch was okay. 15 minutes after I got done with lunch I got a call for a male subject on the bridge he tied a rope around the guard rail and the other end of the rope he tied around his neck. I got there started talking to the fellow who was obviously at the worst point of his fucking life. mid-way through the conversation he says Thanks for trying to talk me out of it but Im going to kill myself now and jumped off the rail. I climbed over the rail and out on a small ledge to reach this fellow, were about 200 feet above the shallow part of the river. Anyway a struggle ensued and I ended up getting this guy back over the bridge rail. unless you've watched a man dying infront of you, knowing if you didnt act fast he was going to die you have no idea how much stress that was. He was taken to the hospital, physically hell be okay and hopefully mentally hell soon heal. As if that wasn't enough, 30 minutes after I got finished with his paperwork, I got dispatched to another call. The dispatcher says "contact the reporting party at the bus bench at the intersection of >>>>and>>>> they see something moving in a towel covered in blood and there to afraid to open the towel. I arrive on scene to find a towel slightly covered in blood, I opened the towel and found a beautiful NEWBORN baby girl she was perfect how could someone just throw their child away on a bus bench at 600 am I dont fucking understand people
the baby was cold, like she had been there for a while, but she was alive. I took her to the hospital and shes doing well.
I dont know how much longer I can do this job I cant stand to see the way people treat each other and themselves. I just want to go skydive and leave the scenes replaying in my mind up there but Paydays not even til Friday and as always money is tight.
to those who say I became a cop because I was picked on in high school FUCK YOU when I graduated high school I was 6'2 and 185 lbs not too many people picked on me. I want to purge my mind of the things I keep seeing. Sorry for this long boring post

Don't ever let it get to the point where you stop talking about it. PM if you want.

Hey, thanks for the hard work with a sucky job. I always think cops are dicks but when you deal with the scum of the earth all day long I can understand how it would get you down. Just try to remember that you saved two people's lives, that counts for something!!!! Thanks, hopefully that little girl will grow up to be something

wow. i have a lot of respect for (you) people that can handle dealing with the situations you are faced with. we need people to do these jobs, and i'm betting that there are very few that can.

Congratulations...

You saved 2 lives last night. You made a significant difference for those two. With the domestic, you may have saved another. There are at least two people who are alive because of you. And a third who might be able to change their situation because of you. It feels useless...but not to those folks. Those folks needed you - and you were there. How grateful I am that you were.

You have my utmost respect and my deepest thanks. And yes, it's hard. Making a difference is never easy, never simple. The things you see, the things you feel - those are difficult to bear; and you're not alone. You have us to come to, and I will always listen should you need an ear. And yes, go jump to clear your mind, jump to celebrate your life, and jump to recognize the difference you make on a daily basis.

Hugs, my friend. And know you're in my prayers.

Ciels-
Michele

I think a lot of people don't realize how difficult your job can be. Hugs to you! Skydiving must be a good stress reliever for you. Just "vent away" whenever the need arises!

Just a few words...

W E L L D O N E !

Without the people like you that do what you do, I wouldn't want to see what the world would be like.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

used to hate cops, but you made me realize a few things... thanks and good job! keep up the hard work, we need more like you:)

[txblondie 0]

It sucks, but at least you were there. And you accomplished things few have the inner strength to deal with.
I have issues with traffic cops, but I'm glad you're out there so that the important part of the job is taken care of. I guess what I'm saying is that, through all of the nasty remarks I've made, I still appreciate people like you who are there to help.
Good job!!!

You're awesome. *smooch*

Skydiving is for cool people only

I have days at work that I thought sucked but they were nothing compared to the real shit you have to deal with. However I have never been able to come back from work and say that I saved two lives. In fact I often come back from work and say I wish I had taken two lives.

Hopefully the guy who tried to kill himself gets the help he needs and makes a recovery. How are you going to feel if he looks you up to thank you for risking your life to save his?

What about one day when that little baby girl is grown up and comes to thank you for saving her life?

Your job is going to suck again and you are going to see sick shit again - but if you can make a difference in anybody else's lives like you did today won't it be worth it?

When I was doing my national service in the army I did one good thing which made the whole year worthwhile. Now when I think back I think more of the one good thing I did than the bad stuff I saw. Hope it is the same for you one day.

Yeah. I used to work in child abuse, and it was nowhere near that constant. I don't know how you can do it, and I sure hope you and they recognize when it's time to let you ease up a little and breathe. You really deserve it, and you deserve to see people being good to each other, too.
