We're the Only Ones Checking Out Enough

Veteran officer becomes fourth NYPD cop to commit suicide in less than a month [More]
Something to remember when the antis use suicide as a reason to disarm those of us who aren't "Only Ones"--we just plain folks have a markedly lower rate than the "professionals."

How interesting: This study tells us "California, New Jersey and New York led the nation in police suicides both years."That's three out of the top four Brady Campaign state ranking winners.

I wonder if there's some kind of freedom corollary that contributes to this...?  Because it seems the government "solution" of ratcheting up the controls is producing the opposite of the desired effect...

Perhaps the nagging, subconscious realization that they are the bad guys is more than some of these reavers can stand.

I would like to thank those officers for having done the right thing, and truly hope that MANY MORE of their Brothers in Blue would follow their noble example in the coming year. And thank you, Lord, for at least YOU are truly just. Even though we no longer live under Rule of Law.

Bloomberg's leadership is inspirational.

The only thing less unsad than a cop eating his gun is when one is lost to 'friendly fire.
Both of these activities should be widely promoted and encouraged.
