    Police officers have the highest suicide rate after Doctors and Dentists. Not sure if it’s because of poor stress management or being constantly in contact with some of the shittiest people to live.

      “being constantly in contact with some of the shittiest people to live.”

      So other cops then. I’d probably kill myself too if I were a cop.

        Lets be honest, plenty non cops are really shitty in ways different from the shitty that drives you to be a cop. Cops do deal with these other people as well. So a cop has shitty people on all sides.

        Its an impossible tasks and society must construct itself as to not have police bc they cannot do the job asked even regardless of the value of the work (which is none as well)

      Constant contact with guns too maybe.

        Let’s be honest. Guns aren’t possessed, have an evil or sinister aura, or anything else that could possibly drive people mad or insane. As someone who grew up with guns in the house, they’re just ordinary objects that you handle with care.
