[Inactive]

This powerful documentary which is being co-produced by the wife of a retired state trooper suffering with PTSD will explore the darker side of law enforcement as it tells the stories of police officers and their families who are now suffering the mental anguish of the careers they chose, which has led some to suicide.

People: we need to do more about this!!!

We cry about the militarization of police, but this is a serious lesson we can learn from the military. The military realized they had a problem, and they are working to fix it!

We turn a blind eye.

It's sad, because more Officers (retired and OTJ) die by their own hand. What's worse is the old timers who have no one.
Look even on a Cop forum you have a few replies and likes. No one wants to address the issues. Thin Blue Line my A--

While on their Facebook page I noticed a link to this story in the news, just what the film is trying to prevent:

Officer Kills Himself Outside Police Station

Wes Sept 10, 2014
An off-duty Delaware county police officer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday night.
Thirty-four-year-old Robert "John" Miller, a nine year veteran of the Radnor Township Police Department, was in the police station parking lot on Iven Avenue around 6:30 p.m. when he pulled out a gun and turned it on himself, according to officials.

I didn't watch it but I hope they also explain the role media plays by demonizing LEOs in the "news" whenever they can, and especially in the movies. You don't need to watch too many movies to see that Hollywood loves criminals and hates cops. It effects public perception a great deal.

You should take a look it's very well done.
I'm sure you can help the film producers look at that issue by contacting her, you might have brought up something she hadn't considered addressing in the film.
As I gather, the woman behind the film is the wife of a retired LEO, so this will not be some Hollywood-ized rubbish. Take a look at her web site, facebook (both above) or send her an email also above.

But yeah you are right, if Hollywood isn't demonizing officers, it's making fun of them as bumbling idiots who can't figure out which way the cuffs go on.

I prefer to manage my own time.
