TIL: More cops in the USA died from suicide than any other cause in 2017

I have responded to truly evil shit in every neighbourhood, on every street. Regardless of income and class. You look at a rich neighbourhood and don’t see gangs or a high murder rate and think everything is great, while the truth is that truly horrible shit goes on behind those closed doors and you will never know it. Have you ever seen the damage a rich man’s penis can do to a one year olds vagina? How about the damage a gold handled walking stick can do to a 4 year olds anus? How much damage do you think a collector grade over under can do to a woman’s face? I know the answers to all of these, because I’ve seen it. And I’ve seen it in the richest neighbourhoods in city/country. Stop spreading the narrative that cops in rich neighbourhoods are lucky to never have to deal with human garbage.
