Do not get me wronging I am known as a supporter of Police, even some of them have thanked me for that, that too is the reason the few are in my sights,courts do not back up police, for that matter us, in some results we see all too often,while working I had two bridges named after a worker killed at work, tried and still do, to get the same for all first res ponders to horrific road trauma sites that took a toll on them all,better roads have stopped that but they will never forget nor will I.

Belly,

Some of the things that police and other responders go through are truly horrific.
A friend of mine, under whom I studied First Aid, was an Ambulance Officer and he once sat for some time talking with and holding the hand of a man who had run into the railings of a bridge.
One rail had gone through his chest and through his car seat; there was nothing to be done except comfort him till he died; apparently, he was in little or no pain and died very quietly.

Not to seem unsympathetic or uncaring to these tragic situations, but I feel that you have to be strong enough, naturally to engage in very, very extreme cases, that 'normal' people 'MUST NOT' be exposed to.
If this means you have to either get another job or be transferred to another section of that industry, then so be it.
It is moronic to expose a person who is clearly badly and emotionally affected, even indirectly, by doing their jobs.
I am incensed and angered when I hear or see on TV where a police commissioner says stupid things like 'our officers are sick and tired of having to witness these horrific scenes'.
So these people died in very extreme and painful situations just to piss of some weak cops.
My retort has always been, 'get another job'.
Your obviously not cut out for this one.
The commissioner is saying stop these horrific accidents because some of our more weaker cops don't have the maturity or the stomach for this part of the job.
Having lived and frequented many countries in my career, most of which were third world.
I have seen my fair share of cringe-worthy material.
One might say it must have affected me in some way.
Well maybe, but I feel I have always had a strong disposition and am immune to these otherwise extreme gut wrenching situations.

as a ham radio operator, one who has served in a few volunteer groups who use radio, let me assure you it is chalk and cheese, phone users even text! and road death toll shows us our eyes should be on the road,the very same pedestrian walking blindly some times get in to a car and continues to do just that, no persons personal freedoms should over ride innocents right to live

Is mise of all the horror my worst memory is of a great young cop, talking to the dead son of his best mate at such a scene, that cop, once used to warn about such events ended his life in a caravan in his ex wife's back yard

Belly,

A few years ago a car load of teenagers were coming back from an evening at a camping/party spot on a local river near Glen Innes, the car left the road on a bend and crashed into the only tree on that bend.

The local Constable who attended experienced the horror of finding his son among the dead.
