This post is going to be vague, but those in law enforcement will understand.

I lost a brother tonight. I lost a friend.

After I was involved in my officer involved shooting this individual came to my house and cried with me while rubbing the back of my head. He begged me and made me promise TWO times that I would never hurt myself.

Well tonight we responded to a call where this LEO and the best cop I have even known, put a bullet in his head. Please done judge because he was a mentor and a hell of an officer.

For those that are cops, if you struggle, PLEASE CALL SOMEONE: I will give you my number. Someone that was a mentor to me, and I looked up to, is now gone. I fought my way into the ambulance to see him. It's not worth it. If you ar struggling, please call someone.

Not sure if it's my way to cope....... but time is of an essence. Just bought a YachtMaster Platinum and SS that I am going to get engraved with his Badge Number on the back. I wasn't ready to purchase.... but Fu************ my good friend just killed himself because of the job. Please, LEO guys, I will PM you my phone number and be available 24/7 if you need help.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and mentor. Engraving the YM is a nice way to honor him.

TK-710 · 14 January 2016, 09:51 PM

I'm very sorry for your loss.

1William · 14 January 2016, 09:54 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend and mentor. As a retired LEO with 30 years of service I experienced this several time in my agency. There is never a way to explain it and it occurs with too great of a frequency in the LE Community. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend, his family and friends

I'm very sorry for your loss Tye, may your brother be at peace and you and your agency find solace in this terrible time.

Sorry for your loss Tye. It is truly tragic when a brother feels there is no other way out. May he rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss sir and for the loss his family is feeling! This is never good to hear and always makes my heart sink.

Rock · 15 January 2016, 02:08 PM

Please accept my commiserations on this very sad event.
Officers often bottle-up their emotions, feeling that they can't show (what they mistakenly see as) any sign of weakness to their colleagues. This is an 'old-guard' thing and hopefully the younger officers see the critical importance of supporting each other emotionally and carefully monitoring how their mates are coping.
It's a complex issue involving retaining the confidence of others, something that is essential to the job. Alpha type personalities also make it difficult for officers to accept that they are coping less well.
Police organisations also need to be less cynical and more genuinely responsive and caring (and offer practical solutions) to officers that are struggling.

Widows Son · 15 January 2016, 02:21 PM

Tragic. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Our K9 officer just attended a funeral today for a K9 that was killed on duty last week. I retire the end of March, I've had enough!!!

asleep · 15 January 2016, 02:30 PM

Very sorry for your loss.

My good friend did same many years ago, still in his 20s. Emotions ran the full spectrum, at every level of intensity. It's tough on all survivors. It's difficult to process.

And thanks to your friend, to you, and to all who serve us as LEOs. We appreciate you.
