- As the country focuses on policing and criminal justice reform, police departments around the nation are dealing with a rising number of officers committing suicide. The last three years have seen hundreds of officers take their own lives, and the changing sentiment toward police is creating a new struggle to deal with. NBC News Now takes a look into what’s behind this rising trend, and why some officers feel like there’s no other option.

It gives the phrase
"Feeling Blue" a whole new meaning.
Yeah maybe they need a little green they should let them use cannabis 🌲💥💨 and three days off
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe a good health regimen would work! Most look like the Pillsbury Doughboy from all the doughnuts!
@@janetmcarthur5257 or a roided out violent criminal.
LMAO
“You live by the sword you die by the sword”
Yes
What are you talking about? Educate yourself before leaving stupid comment. Do you even know what are they talking about?
Alcohol is worse then marijuana and marijuana isnt really bad.... it's because so many of them kidnapped and held them hostage at their police department... and their hearts feel all these emotions... at a certain point their Bible can't help them feel better and their shame doesn't feel good...
Censorship or mental health treatment??????????????
They're trapped in a blue gang where snitches get stitches. That makes them all accomplices to their fellow criminal colleagues.
OH here we go. I guess you like living in this present world where Thugs Get Hugs.
@@dadofducks that's your rebuttal?
No snitches get dead.
Maybe they finally get a conscience.
Yeah almost like what happened to officer Adrian Schoolcraft when he decided to whistleblow the corruption that happened in his police department.
guilt is a mother f,
My mother and father were sheriff and a cop. I trained hundreds of cops when I was in the military. Some of those cops should have never been in law enforcement. The psychology, emotional, spiritual, and physically weak should not be law enforcement. It’s not a job for the unethical and emotionally weak.
I agree. As a paramedic I’ve worked many of the same calls with law enforcement. And worked with paramedics who are also police officers.
I would add this to your observation. It’s often the bad culture of the police department (or EMS service), and the terrible nature of certain coworkers, that creates much more of the turmoil, than the actual work.
The same thing could be said about anyone applying for the military as well, but a person never knows what it’s like until they get their feet wet and is able to come home and tell the stories about it.
It’s for PSYCHOPATHIC REPROBATES
@Jacob Martin every heard the phrase “stay in yo lane.” The untrained and ignorant should stfu. You have no actually training nor experienced. Unless you are knowledgeable about the profession or have constructive influence stfu.
@@dadofducks As an employed COP you can quit or should be fired, in the Military you have years to serve unless you can get tossed out and that is pretty hard to do without getting locked up instead of a DD (dishonorable discharge). So not really a good argument. I know someone that went in and got out. When he went in he would give the shirt off his back to help someone, when he got out the Marines screwed up his head and 8 divorces later he killed himself. This is a similar issue that happens in every branch, but they target people like my friend that is a caring person to harden them up as trained killers then fail to deprogram them before release. He was an honorable discharge but I am sure the same case is for DD soliders.
Police departments are so corrupted. Can you imagine working in a place with no way to obtain relief. I would think it is more hopelessness.
ok troll
@@pohakumana4288 sorry you thought I was trolling. I just know feeling hopelessness is not a mental health issues. I don't know the police officer. Just saying after 23 years it just doesn't make sense unless he was realizing no one wanted to cure the corruption.
@@amysweet3757 Police Departments have counselors, and psych services for cops.
@@pohakumana4288 I HAVE A FRIEND THAT IS THE PSYCH EVALUATION PRE-HIRE SUPERVISOR FOR A MAJOR CITY IN PUGET SOUND THAT LET ME KNOW OFF RECORD THAT 85% OF WHITE POLICE ARE FAR RIGHT WITH NEO-NAZI BACKGROUNDS WHICH ARE WAIVED EVERY EVALUATION...PEOPLE FORGET THAT POLICE ARE ACTUALLY SLAVE CATCHERS....THERE IS NO OTHER REASON IN THE LAND OF THE GUN!!! HE SAID POLICE CATCH THE SLAVES AND BRING THE ESCAPED ANIMALS BACK TO THE PLANTATION FOR A FEE...SLAVE CATCHERS!!! THESE ARE THE WORDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A WHITE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY EVALUATION SUPERIOR IN A PUGET SOUND SHERIFF DEPT...I GOT HIM ON SPEED DIAL WHEN IM IN KLAN LAND!!!!
Yes
I think they hate being filmed by the public and they hate being accountable.This has to have something to do with .
Since you know what it's all about, then why don't you come out and take on the job?
@@dadofducks never not worth getting paid to violate fellow citizens rights
@@TennisArena365 Again, go out and apply for your local police department and show the other officer's how to do it. I played my card, now let's see how you deal with it.
@Jon Doe Exactly!!!
@Jon Doe I have no problem with officers being more cordial to people of color as a result of the Derek chauvin effect it's a beautiful thing to see after 150 years of shananigans by police after the 14th amendment was ratified
Because they're getting caught?
@Carb Snobler definitely a soy face.
Line of doo doo
Unfortunately they are in between seeing the problems in our communities, and the problems within their own departments. They are stuck having to keep their mouth shut instead of doing the right thing. And then add having trouble with bringing these problems home to your family?
THEY NEED TO QUIT THE JOB AND STOP SHOOTING AND TARGETING ABORIGINALS!
Right, of course it's the department's fault, nice try deflecting blame from all the anti police bs peddled by groups like BLM, the fact that officers can't watch the news, go on social media or even relax and watch a movie or TV show without being told their a horrible person simply for being a police officer
Alcohol is worse then marijuana and marijuana isnt really bad.... it's because so many of them kidnapped and held them hostage at their police department... and their hearts feel all these emotions... at a certain point their Bible can't help them feel better and their shame doesn't feel good...
The system doesn't support mental wellness. If you have a problem with the pack or job you're seen as defective. Therefore they must feel alone, even though there are so many others pretending to be ok just as they are. It's just a sad spiral.
Exactly
If you can't see the connection between the rise in anti police retoric and police suicide you're either willfully ignorant or dumb
So true. Admin sucks that way. They don't give a crap about us.
Alcohol is worse then marijuana and marijuana isnt really bad.... it's because so many of them kidnapped and held them hostage at their police department... and their hearts feel all these emotions... at a certain point their Bible can't help them feel better and their shame doesn't feel good...
Electronics are catching up with them now is why there are people with cameras and social media literally every where now
Is it guilt or just know the party's over?
If you call this a party, I think I would rather stay home and watch The Mandalorian on DIsney Plus. Jeesh!
What do you mean by "the party is over"? Please, could you elaborate? I don't get it.
@B Taylor Show me your reference on that one, or did you pull that one off the Antifa website?
@Carb Snobler Big talk from someone like yourself whose never walked in those shoes. Why don't you give it a try and become a police officer? Don't be a coward.
TIMES UP!!
It's mostly the guilt for killing innocent people and covering it up
@American Badass Go watch the video of how citizens are treated when trying to file a simple complaint, and then come back here & let us know how broken up u still are...
Keep it up piggys 🐷s good job
YOU'RE WEAK
Is terrible whom think they don't risk their lives. Im so grateful for having protection. We as a family my brother died of suicide. He took his life seriously and loved what he did. May all police enforcement be protested.🙏🙏🙏🙏👮👮👮❤
Alcohol is worse then marijuana and marijuana isnt really bad.... it's because so many of them kidnapped and held them hostage at their police department... and their hearts feel all these emotions... at a certain point their Bible can't help them feel better and their shame doesn't feel good...
If he was proud and felt good working as a police officer he would've never killed himself
All the guilt from the misconduct can take a toll.
Come on man
Nailed it
Good, who could’ve thought ruining thousands of lives would have a toll on your mental health, won’t see me shed a tear for depressed tyrants.
Lol I couldn’t have said it better even if I tried lol completely correct my friend.. god bless !
When George Floyd was murdered in broad day light in front of the world and not one of the others helped to save the man's life..that was powerful.
Am sat here like boo hoo worlds smallest violin, the abuse police get because they deserve it made them feel sad 😢
They can't interfere because they respect the badge that much and those officers know it.
Cops have always been head cases with high suicide rates.
Karma is a b
@KEITH it’s because people (aboriginals) are programmed to respect fear and FREEZE concerning the cops (SATANIC GANG)
Well thats one way to clean up a criminal department. These officers are taking the cowards way out. They need to stand up against the criminal actions by their brothers in law enforcement instead of taking the easy way out.
Stop hiring weak minded individuals.
Low IQ...doesn't help.
How many of these cops were responsible of countless suicides in general population after getting life destroyed by wrongful arrests.
My heart goes out. The pressure they most bare from what others chose to do in their uniform has to be deeper than the ocean. A lot of ppl say defend but as soon as something happens their rushing to call 911 for help and for a person to risk their lives to save theirs. He deserved the same Honorable Homegoing.
Tbh I don't have sympathy for these creatures! It's not like we asked them to be a cop or anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯! Cops are racist so nobody cares. Their lives don't matter.
Put wings on pigs
We appreciate our officers and pray for safety for the public and for these officers.
@@devora4809 ik that's right
Why don’t they just quit? I’m an RN and have quit crappy jobs for my health and mental health. Not worth it. Quality of life matters.
Praise God, you have wisdom and commen senses that others should have 🕊🙏🕊
@@esmereldacarrillo4156 common* sense*
Sometimes just quitting doesn't get what you saw out of your mind
How many of these cops are caught being bad cops? They’re not mentioning this side of the story.
Or bad doing it as cover because was going 2 tell truth about the bad
I bet all of them
Yup as always the left is compassionate and loving unless the people they're talking too disagree with them, then they become the facist's they claim to fight against yet are to ignorant and self centered to realize it
@@pieluvr7362 Jesus Christ give it a rest. Stop watching mainstream media because you’re being brainwashed
Good points.
So what 🤷🏾♂️
There would not be negative sentiment towards police if they would do their job right and stop violating your constitutional rights, and killing innocent people!
Anything that lessens the number of gang members is a good thing.
What did that fool say? If taking their gun away "that is their super power"
Oink oink 🐷
Police officer killed himself do to corruption
Yes
I guess all that uncalled for killing is haunting them.
75% of the K were justified.
Bcs your ppl don't know How to stop trying to rsst arrest. 🤔
Amen
That's not enough. Those numbers need to rise
You clearly have problems.
@@Sabakatiebiajebalkurwo I can't reply to you any true feelings I have. Just know I have absolutely no respect for any cop out there.
@@nickthierman2402 until…
@@nickthierman2402 not respecting and wishing someone to die are two different things. Judging by your post, you are privileged white kid with parents providing for you. Never experienced hardship or traumatic event. And I can guarantee you that you came from the house where there was a sign on the front yard “hate has no home here”. Now, get a life, hobby and change your attitude, because with this attitude, you will not make it far in life, meaning, YOU will ruin your life.
I have personally asked 5 police departments in 3 counties and the fbi to help me find my children. They have all ignored me for 10 years now. Any time I ask for help I get committed, and while I'm committed everything I worked hard for gets stolen. It's happened 2 times now and I'm sure it will happen again. I hope you can understand my hatred for pigs.
Probably sentencing themselves for all the crimes they’ve committed against innocent citizens.
"They're gonna get their gun and shield taken away, that's their super power. That's their purpose in life"
That friends is the problem. They attach their entire identity and self worth in life to their JOB.
That can apply for every job, not just police work.
They can no longer do the job. Has nothing to do with being attached to it like you make it seem.
Not to their job. To their power. They define themselves by their power over others.
@@BrianFace182 Again, this applies to ANY job. Let's say you go into Home Depot for help. The worker there doesn't like his job and maybe not dealing with the public and is rude to you, refusing to help or to give you a short answer. This makes the person feel helpless.
@@BrianFace182 ur a weirdo dude no one cares
There should be no stigma of mental health in any profession. Let us get these bad cops off our streets and keep the good ones that we love
Oh don't worry, the mass exodus of good and bad cops are leaving in buckets full.
@Carb Snobler Be sure to have the phone number of your social worker in your cell phone the next time you're a victim of a crime.
Funny thing.
If you are a self-proclaimed GOOD cop and you do not end a Bad cop, then you are no better than the bad cop.
The Police have a saying for this. Guilt by association. If the situation fits the narrative then the narrative is a fact.
Good cops' end bad cops' abuses.
Blame the game not the players it's our government
KARMA,
That's really not good. The anti-police rhetoric needs to stop.
I wrote a post a while back to help those struggling with suicidal feelings: www.reddit.com/r/MindOverMatterScott/comments/cfej01/how_to_deal_with_suicidal_feelings/
New very very strict law should be made:” If the police officers lay hands on people, their half of the property will be seized and given to the poor,innocent victim”
Should mention all the ones under investigation 👀
Gunning someone down in cold blood eats at your conscience, guilt is powerful.
Pillsbury Doughboys wolfing down doughnuts while on yet another paid vacation while the department investigates itself after another unwarranted assault... must catch up with them~
Pretty much
@robloxfanboy47 Of Roblox How that ridiculous conflict-of-interest tool was ever granted to any agency is amazing to me. It literally goes against the very concept of "Law Enforcement"
To any officer out there considering committing suicide: Let me know if you need help choosing a method. I’m very creative and can assure you 100% success or your money back. 😂
These people could have went into any other industry and potentially lead a more peaceful and less dangerous lifestyle. But they did not, all in the name to protect the paths of others sacrificing their time, they are the reason why your A-List celebrities are able to become your idols, they are the reason why you have others to look up too, they are practically the reason why you have dreams.
It goes without saying that there would be cops which join the industry for their own gain but it also can’t go without knowing that it was still time used up to protect a community, the time they gave so that you can live another day.
Good . Bunch of cowards , leaving their love ones behind.
This shouldn't be a career, most of them aren't educated beyond highschool
Compared to years in other countries to be qualified police.
Turning in my badge on 2/24/22 after 13 years The stress is real. And the money ain’t worth it.
This is a good thing. We need less cops.
They can not rough old leroy like they use too because all the body cams the police have nowadays, it's causing massive Deprssion. I'm sure most of them go home and watch the Rodney king beating over and over agin and remember the good old days.
im so sorry to hear this
These Petty explanations mean these people should never have been police officers
@American Badass There are plenty of other jobs and professions that are more dangerous and/or stressful.
Good.
That's because they're young and young people don't know how to react appropriately.
Police officers should be treated more that they have been treated. They put themselves at risk to protect citizens. But some people see them as the enemy and that wrong . We really need them .
What citizens are they protecti?. certainly not me I haven't called the police in decade's .
iv battled since 97 i never thought about police officers they have helped me several times
Bad part about it, probably all the good cops
Are they suicides?
RiP to those who've lost their lives
🙏☯️☮️🙏
To take orders with out having a conscience is what their problem is. They don't know what right and wrong is. They walking soulless beings.
Because his cup catching up one with the wrong that they be doing to people killing innocent people when it was time for them to use that the fourth at the capital they didn’t do it they always making up excuses
That’s so sad
No is not
@@nogutsnoglory2942 Your name is accurate.
Why don't they just quit their jobs and get another one? I do not understand this and my heart is so broken over this🤦♀️
@American Badass i don't understand. I was at a miserable job a d i left, and found another one, I guess cause i am a born again Christian and it says in the bible that the just shall live by faith.i ised to live in fear and anxiety, but when i gave my heart and life to our Lord Jesus, He changed everything. I attend a church where our Pastor loves policeman and they give policeman appreciation dinners and breakfast all the time. I would love to see more of them in church and more saved, especially nowadays when they are killing policeman, no respects for those in authority. I get sad.🙏🕊🙏they need prayers. Like we all need to repent and a cept Jesus before we die. 🕊🙏💒
@Carb Snobler you need to be born again and become a believer
@Carb Snobler can't believe how much darkness you are in. You need to read the bible and get wisdom.
Not a bad thing
Do we have a transition department for police and vets to help them find ways to reintegrate back into civilian society after service?
No we don't. God forbid we don't spend billions of dollars on their stupid toys. ONLY.
Millions to train them. 0 to look after them when they’re done
@@Crymorebro Maybe we should demand some change for them......I’m in.
There is one for military. It's called TAPS..Transitioning Assistance Program and mandatory for all getting out regardless of status( separating, retiring etc)..
Retire Veteran
@@therestorationcircleintlps760 -TAP hardly scratches the surface, of transitioning Warriors.
Why doesn't OSHA. Step in and tell governors that it is unsafe to force people to work in unsafe working conditions without a CDC approved mask or n95 to protect workers in unsafe breathing environments
Negative sentiment towards police is not unfounded.
And what about all the recruits that drop out or fail the academy that don’t commit suicide did the academy trainers actually choose the right people
O happy day o happy day...
Everyone wants Security, but we don't want a political tool used against a certain group, even if theres a good person in the government, the system is corrupt, it needs to be fixed
I hear Amazon is hiring.
The numbers have been going down every year, it seems like good news not bad
Good
You know what people don’t realize and it has to do with the stigma. News agencies and the medias love to report police misconduct. While iam all for exposing corruption, police misconduct, and abusing their authority.
what people don’t realize is for every negative incident that happens there are multiple officers upholding the law and doing their jobs on a daily basis but that’s rarely put out in the media. It’s not exciting to viewers when police do their ordinary duties which is why the view of police is bad.
For you guys are so blinded by hatred against law enforcement they forget that are good officers.
The news agency and media would much rather news of police misconduct as a story as opposed to actual law enforcement. For thos ppl I hope their house get robbed and just a friendly reminder don’t ask police for help
That’s their job! The are government employees . People always say their are good officers but you never see the good officers arrest bad officers when they break laws.
Thank you all for your service and may god bless. You are under paid , your lives in danger ever day. 🙏🙏🙏👮👮❤
Maybe the guilt is finally catching up to these guys. Ruining 100s of life’s maybe puts a toll on one’s mental health
"Tragic"
Sorry, but I don't feel no sympathy for these Gestapo agents.
I can understand it on 9/11 it is what do u do on top floor jump burn or get crushed or maybe survive depends where u r
Good cops few and far between. Dad was a police. I am retired military.
Police training and culture eliminates a lot of your emotion and humanity, so of course all cops eventually turn into empty, drifting shells, just waiting to die.
If you're a cop and thinking about quitting, this is your sign.
Your loss will always be remebered
An intern made this
Praise God!
Oh well sucks to be them. Why is it? Everyone always thinks that we should feel sorry for cops and their tragedies. When the cops don’t care about tragedies happening in civilians lives.
Abolishthepolice
Turn it up!
Is it the bigoted/racist ones? Yes? Oh well then I’ve got some 🍿
DONT FIGHT FOR THE CORUPT GOVERNMENT. SMH CUZ THE COP PUT UP WITH THE CRAP THE SUITS SHOULD.
Term limits
Self worth is a gun?
Millions off. Security. Has. Wors problem. And. MEDIA. NEVER talked about
I hate what they said "Police on" there a gang a something?
I have no sympathy for them. All the children who have to grow up without a parent because a bunch of heavily armed thugs felt their lives were "threatened" by a single individual with their hands cuffed behind them offering little to no actual resistance, all the mothers who have had to bury their children because some trigger happy bigot figured it was ok to empty a mag into their backs while they were trying to run away then falsely report that they had a gun and were pointing it at them, all the people who were basically robbed of their money and property simply because the department needed the money is why I not only have utterly no sympathy for them but I hope they suffered before they decided to take a gun and do the world a favor for once in their sorry lives
NBC should take responsibility. All their anti cop rhetoric
Haha they won't get to see there family again.
They mean justified sentiment toward police
You mean you want to be murdered by a criminal?
This is what happens when you don't let police officers smoke weed so they can get their stress off their back after a shfit. Instead they drink which is a depressant which leads to these outcomes.
Tf you think weed is champ
they are not born only to be police
Awesome
Forty percent.
Maybe if you didn’t crucify them so much…
"In our interconnected world, the notion of equality must extend to all aspects of life, including access to essential resources like home loans. Discrimination based on race not only perpetuates social injustice but can also have far-reaching consequences, resonating beyond human interactions. When individuals are denied opportunities simply because of their race, it creates a ripple effect that disrupts the delicate balance of our shared environment. The prevalence of natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, cyclones, and the spread of disease may serve as stark reminders of the interconnectedness of all living beings and systems. By fostering inclusivity and fairness in our societies, we not only uphold fundamental human rights but also contribute to a more harmonious coexistence with the world around us. Let us strive for a future where every individual is treated with dignity and respect, where opportunities are accessible to all, and where the fabric of our society is woven from threads of equality and compassion."
This statement aims to convey a deep reflection on the interconnectedness of social injustices, environmental issues, and the importance of promoting equality and inclusivity in our interactions and systems.😢
