Silent Words Unleashed

167 American Police Officers died by Suicide in 2018.  For the third straight year, police officer suicides exceeded all combined causes of line-of-duty-deaths.  California (14) and Texas (12) had the highest number of officer suicides. At least 12 officers killed themselves on duty—in their patrol car or at their agency.  In December alone, 22 officers died by suicide. In contrast, there were 10 line-of-duty deaths. Nearly every Department has a union or police officer association.  Officers pay monthly dues.  Then there is the Fraternal Order of Police and various state associations that officers belonged to.  So why havent and  federal, state and local politicians introduced a bill on the topic of FREE MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT NATIONWIDE for all current and retired First Responders?  Both Republican and Democrat officials offer nothing but thoughts, prayers and teddy bears.  No legislation to help.  W're also going to talk about the  Philadelphia Police shooting and the maniacs the carried that out.   Join
