Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Whats really bad for cops is if they get mental help that is used as proof they are unfit fir duty. Yes a cop getting help to better handle their job is treat like a bad cop.
Add to that most cops are trained to always be on red alert. Always be ready and willing kill anyone at anytime. Everyone not a cop is an enemy soldier.
This is even a far wider problem.
People readily accept someone has say, a broken leg and goes to the hospital and will be out for a few weeks.
But have a mental problem? Going to the clinic for a few weeks? People look at you really weird and start distancing. Which is ridiculous, mental issues should not be as stigmatized as they are, an illness is an illness, whether pathological or psychological.
