This is pretty disturbing.

I, personally, have dealt with anxiety and panic attacks, or PTSD (because of a lot of family trauma). This guy is clearly exhibiting the symptoms. Do I know his situation? No. Do I believe in waterboarding of terrorists trying to destroy our country? Absolutely. So, let's get THAT out of the way.

I will expect to get flamed. That's OK. PTSD is a misunderstood condition.

Been through a lot in my life. Getting stronger every day! :-) Can't imagine what a soldier may go though.

If pepper-spray cop did nothing wrong, as you suggest, why was he given a 30 day suspension? He was actually fired initially, but that was overruled.

Two separate entities in the Dept. of Correction believed there was wrongdoing on Officer Shawn Welch's part, yet you don't see a problem.

Why was George Zimmerman charged with murder? If you’re accused of something or punished for something you must be guilty. Right?

[TigersEye]

You don’t suppose that NE liberal political correctness might have something to do with it do you?

[Ken H]

Two separate Dept of Correction entities suspend or fire a fellow union member for wrongdoing and you try to blame NE political correctness? Absurd.

This story is going viral and your buddy Officer Welch will have his nuts in the wringer before this is all over.

[TigersEye]

Yes, of course, the false syllogism that 'if you're punished for something you're guilty of it' makes more sense. /s

Now that you have abandoned reason for adolescent jabs you must feel mighty puffed up and proud of yourself. Your fellow sixth graders must be mighty impressed with you! LOL

Hardly. This officer's actions have been vetted twice by the Maine DoC, and both times found them to them wrongful. Wrong enough to be fired or suspended.

Poor Officer Shawn Welch. Life is about to get worse for him.

[TigersEye]

Like life is going to get better for any of us. LOL

I'm sure the Maine DoC is a pillar of rational conservative thought. /s

One attached to a sigmoidoscope, one to a catheter. Lie detection extraordinary...

[TigersEye]

Wow! Another brilliant point. /s
