Am I ready to change my tune because one of the officers had psychiatric treatment?
I don't think so.
Maybe it saved his life. A couple guys I worked with commited suicide.
read the order of events, toasted sugar corn puffs. he goes wacko... doubtless psychiatrically hospitalized (that's s.o.p. after someone tries to commit suicide, they don't just make a nice appointment with Mr. Shrink next week and hope he goes). FOLLOWING this, he becomes a cop. is there something wrong with this picture? psychiatric hospitalization = no guns for some time, in most states.
