Their portrayal of the shooting in season 2 was remarkable. No flair or anything. Just the scene with no music and minimal cuts along with realistic police response. This is also a representation of PTSD that speaks volumes of the truth of the matter. Going over the scene in your head, visualizing it all, and hearing the sounds of certain moments.
Part that I loved was the realism of the chaotic radio traffic, everyone figuring out what was happening and supervisors somewhat hopelessly trying to coordinate everything.
Right?? The camera work is amazing, how the camera dips down JUST SLIGHTLY when he walks past the counter by the front door...why? Because that's the spot where one person's blood was splattered very ominously from before.
@@leonidasoneoneseven Yeah I was literally about to point this out the camera work is fucking amazing. The more I learn about this series the more impressed I'm with the fucking filming man. Also later in the library he goes right to the spot where he killed that shooter and the camera pans to the left and shows the table that he headshot'd that blonde girl.
Same, I thought the exterior of the building looked familiar but as soon as they passed the security guard into the camera room I got chills because I knew where they were. So haunting.
Love how none of the students even acknowledge their presence… they all seem so jolly and oblivious… the only two in the room who witnessed the horror, just walk in, and walk out, in full introspection mode. It wouldn’t matter what anyone else in the school could say to them, they were there, and this was a memory for them to take in, or more likely be haunted by, for the rest of their time together as partners. For the rest of their lives, no matter how old they live. Oddly beautiful camaraderie they share remembering this cruelty…
I'm pretty sure the students who lost a friend that day are still scarred by the even. You're not just hearing screaming and shoot, but you also see those who were shot dead by the shooter. That was a heavy episode to take in from beginning to end.
I disagree, you can see when he's walking over to the wall in the library that there are students who are looking at him over their shoulders, even some who point at him. Obviously we don't know who those students are and if they were there (and I'm pretty sure you could actually go frame by frame in the video of the shooting itself and compare it with everyone in the library), but I think some might be pointing him out, but not sure if they would remember that he was the one who killed the shooter.
@@redwall1521 They are likely noticing the officers' tension more than anything else. Unlikely anyone there in the library was there on that day (2years ago). In contrast, most students seem to ignore the officers which is the attitude most people have towards authority unless they themselves are hiding something. The students are used to seeing security now and to them the cops blend in the background like cameras on the wall.
It's fictional, but for the students, this would have been something they would have dealt with long before. Cops would likely have not been back to the school in that long. This would have been a much more vivid memory for the police because of their collected traumas, but for the students this would be a single, large trauma they could construct coping mechanisms around.
I truly felt these moments. We had a mass shooting at a warehouse and I was a responder that was sent in to retrieve a fallen worker. I still to this day never take any of the streets surrounding that building😔
Pretty accurate. I have mad respect for cops, given the absolute trauma and PSTD they get from their job. I live next to a retired cop, and he can’t look me without freezing up. My parents say he accidentally shot a girl my age in a school shooting. She didn’t make it. On some nights I hear him wake up screaming, and my parents also explain that’s his PTSD. This stuff affects you for the rest of your life, cops need more credit.
I just saw the episode of the school shooting. And then found this video just now...oof...I don't even know these characters that well yet, but I felt like crying seeing what they had to go through. This series portrayed their emotions and incidents so well...
It's not just that this scene takes place 2 years later, but also that in runtime, it's 2 seasons later. Legitimately a 2 year gap for everyone, the characters, the actors, and the viewers.
The scenery is different. What looks to be like an armed officer keeping watch at the front gate he greets them with a smile not knowing they are the reason why this horrible incident was ended. The hall covered with blood and paper is now a normal area with kids walking and chatting. As if the incident never happened. They're shaken. They're worried. They're scarred. What is supposed to be a safe place for kids became a true living nightmare. The screams and shouts for help are replaced with kids laughing, talking, living. The place where the shooter was shot stays the same. It's become a regular wall to the classmates that have learned how to forget. It's a place where a difficult choice was made by a man who knew he was out of options. Some learn how to cope. He wonders if he'll ever forget. This job is hard. The responsibility is overwhelming. The rewards feel like nothing compared to the outcome. This show was to real the whole episode was way to real.
This was more than 8 years ago so I may get somethings mixed up but it's one of those memories that will never completely leave. In my Elementary school there was a school shooting but it was a couple years before I attended the place. Only one teacher was killed after refusing to say where she was hiding her class. Edit: The memory was my teacher telling us. I didn't experience the shooting first hand
I got chills after reading the sentence about what the teacher did bc I heard the same thing from my teacher in 6th grade when he told us some info about the shooting
That's so sad. Did your school have memorials or plaques? Did the adults or kids talk about it much? I've always wondered what it's like to be a student years after all the kids who experienced it have moved on.
Powerful. I have a relative who has been in law enforcement for 30 years. You can't simply unplug and go home. While most officers will never deal with anything as traumatic as a school shooting, they regularly have to look at the worst of humanity and see people at their lowest points. I will never forget the time I came home from school and my relative was at my house talking to my parents. He was shaking and looked in shock. He had responded to a call of a suspect in the woods near a local middle school who witnesses thought was carrying a weapon. Sure enough, when he arrived he found the man in the woods carrying a shotgun. He spent several minutes trying to convince the guy to drop the gun and right as the suspect was lifting the barrel to aim at him, his partner was able to tackle the guy from the side and disarm him. He thought that day he was going to have to shoot and kill a random man (and that will mess with anybody). That's just one of the many incidents that I know still haunt him to this day.
My mom's great-uncle was a judge back in 1940's. He had to sentence a person to death by hanging (there are no juries where I am, verdicts are handed down by either one or a panel of judges depending on the case). My mom said he didn't sleep at all for days after he passed the judgement. He was sure the guy was guilty but taking a person's life is the ultimate sentence.
This is pretty powerful. A no-nonsense look at the effects that simply being a law enforcement officer can have on a person. It's things like this that make me wish officers received more help - over time, anyone in this profession develops issues. They have to be tough to survive in law enforcement as a career, both mentally and physically, but over time it's things like this that generate cracks in their armor. The longer they serve without good mental health services, the easier it is for the experiences of their career to have a negative effect on themselves and the people they serve. It can, and does, happen to anyone - the only deciding factor is "are they unlucky enough to receive a call that will scar them". With enough time, it is guaranteed to happen. There's no shame in admitting that you are hurt, whether it's a physical scar or a mental one.
The long shot of the shooting. Was and is some of the best camera shooting ever on TV. Actors, writters, camera, sound, direction and lastly, the heart. This month we had a school shooting. I have a couple of friends that were teachers there. You guys nailed this.
Never seen this show except for the school shooting episode. And that is one of the most impressive production pieces I've ever seen. Some genius people at the helm of this show.
Really speaks to Jared Keeso's acting ability. He has to show that the character is strong yet at the same emotionally vulnerable. Not an easy thing to convey.
The officers in this showered courage but it also shows that they are vulnerable as well. They did a fabulous job. breaks my heart that they go through things like this all the time to try to keep us safe.
Such a good portrayal of PTSD. I have a little bit brought on by my mom’s epilepsy over the years, and this is almost exactly how it is for me. I hear her screaming and seizing, I see and hear her head smacking against the floor during the times I didn’t make it in time to catch her. I will just randomly remember it, and get surges of adrenaline, shortness of breath and it’s like I’m stuck halfway in the memory and halfway in the real world.
May you and your family's struggles be eased for you, especially for the difficulty of having to witness your mother's pain. I'm glad you have moments of reprieve
Yes Columbine survivors when they returned to the school experienced stuff just like this. They could still hear the screams and the gun shots. It was hard for them to step back into the school all those years later.@@ayyylmao101
Whenever I go back to the places I've dealt with traumatic situations, it's a lot like that. Even years later, you remember the sounds, the smells, the feeling. Part of you will always be there, somewhen else in your mind.
I watched the school shooting episode yesterday this seems like a pretty good show. I think SWAT had a pretty decent school shooting episode as well last year.
I have PTSD, myself. And while I cannot speak for everyone with it, I think this portrays it in a realistic sense. PTSD isn't always rocking back and forth in a fetal position while screaming "THE WAR, THE THINGS WE DID". Mostly it's just this. Silent contemplation and reflection of the events that took place. Maybe you freeze up seeing something that reminds you of the trauma, but it's generally not more than voices and sounds in your head, playing on repeat. What I love is the human side in all of this. That they really made it feel like these two were there. They witnessed all the shit and they came back to see this place, maybe, for the last time before fully coping with their grief and putting a "." on the story. Through both the shooting and the aftermath, they felt real. And as I said, as a person who suffers from PTSD, this spoke to me on a very VERY personal level. Extremely well done and thought-through scene.
I went to that very high school in montreal for 4 years. When i saw that episode couple of years after i graduated i was speechless and shocked in front of the tv.
Its really sad. The trauma of a call can hurt you just like that. Being a law enforcement officer can put a toll on you mentally and physically. I just wish more agencies had better Mental Health options for their officers. This video shows you what you see on a daily will stay with you for life. You could take years of therapy and still have these attacks.
I’ve only seen and heard about this show from this clip and the previous one where it all happens and to feel the draining trauma that they carry on their shoulders is saddening. Now I wanna binge the heck out of this show.
Its so shocking, watching the shooting scene, all that terror, just to see how everyone's recovered, how the world ahs moved on, but for those affected it feels like yesterday, the toll has been taken and it will never be given back.
I'm sorry, I never watched the shooting scene or any of this show before today and I just can't get past the fact that one of the cops is Jared Keso. I can't really picture him outside of Letterkenny
The thing is he died in the loneliest part of the library. That empty space echoes with negative energy, he also died surrounded by the knowledge he never attempted to take in, to give himself hope that the future would be brighter. It's a sad situation on both sides because he was also a victim.
If you go that far that you shoot innocent people who did not do any harm - I don't see the shooter as a victim. Weak ass flower, can't deal with whatever problem life throws at him/her and they want to be treated better. So take a gun and shoot innocent people. I get it, if someone gets abused and shoots, kills that person. But people who had zero involvment - this is when I stop seeing them as victims. Psychopaths, and you can be a psycho with 12, 21, 60 - it doesn't matter.
@@Hanna-xu2yv there are people who go through much worse lives but they never ever remotely attempted to shoot up a place. The shooter was a coward and he picked on soft targets that had no chance of fighting back. When confronted by armed cops the shooter simply hid in the corner like a coward until he was exterminated.
Shool shooters are evil scum that deserve to be put down in ways I wouldn't put down animals. Zero sympathy. If they're so troubled why not shoot up a gun show or an army base? Because they're cowards and being shot back at would ruin their fantasy.
ive only watched the school shooting scene then this, but the feeling or lackthereof in the heart of the officer who had to kill the school shooter- a child- is unimaginable
Just remember that your feelings, your trauma is valid. I have a lot of... baggage related to 9/11. I always tell myself I shouldn't complain. I only lost one person, and I wasn't even near the towers at the time. My therapist, on the other hand tells me that pts (I refuse to call it a disorder) is what happens when you think you're safe, then you are suddenly very unsafe. It doesn't matter if it's from being attacked, raped, shot, beaten, etc., the effects on our brain is the same. It doesn't make you any less of a person.
looking at this scene after seeing the previous scene it is eerie that the whole thing from start to finished ended 30 feet from each other, from the hallway to the library. that a 20+ minute bloodbath had us go through almost every room of the entire school. only thing missing was the football field.
Writers and directors are doing an outstanding research on PTSD and constructing scenes with the place, architecture and the actors. This shows a mature director and a great staff working with production. Outstanding skills depicted here.
Another unbroken shot as they enter the school. I have zero doubt that they even did the shot with the pan around and the students suddenly being there completely practically, just having the actors run into place as the shot panned around. I have only watched School and this scene from this series, but man did the cinematographer know how to paint a scene.
I've never heard of this show. The school shooting scene showed up on my recommended list yesterday. Best live action police show. I am a canadian so I never been around shootings but it's portrayal feels real.
The original episode is based on a real event that happen at Dawson College in Montreal on September 13, 2006. For some Montrealer's it hit very close to home since the show also takes place in Montreal, although with a fake police precinct.
This feels so REAL and it is HEARTBREAKING! The echos of the screams...the way the cop beelines straight to the spot where he took down the shooter... Depressing and haunting.
Of course they do, stuff like that will weigh on you for the rest of your life. It plays on a loop in your mind, there’s no escape from it. They feel guilt that they couldn’t save the kids that were the victims. Those two officers could go to that school 50 years from the time of the shooting and still picture everything as if it just happened.
Magnets mean nothing in a power outage or fire alarm. Guard is unarmed. The desk glass is bulletproof, not the rest of the school. The illusions of safety, forever marred by the event that made it necessary. School is still in session, but it'll NEVER be the same.
I've only seen this and the scene it leads from. I absolutely need to find the whole series now. This acting, writing and direction is superb (as was the camerawork in the shooting scene). I almost cried just watching him relive this.
Watching the initial incident was quite the experience, and this really hammers in that those officers will have to live with those memories for the rest of their lives.
I've been in a school lockdown before because a active shooter was at my community College. I was scared 😱. I understand the fear of being in a situation like that. All i can say is that its not a experience I ever wanted to be in, so I know its hard not forget that traumatic experience
Going into the Lion's den after taking down the Lion. Any cop or military going back to their engagement area and seeing them relive it in their heads shows their courage and vulnerability.
After watching this I realized: I put my truck in a ditch after I hit ice on a sharp turn down a back road, and the only thing that kept me from going over the edge of a 20 foot cliff was a tree that was as big around as a soda can. I have no clue how it didn't snap or how it held but it did. I realized that I have never been on that road again even though it was the fasted route. I don't even remember consciously making that decision. Subconscious PTSD maybe? I think I'm going to go drive it and see what happens.
This show seriously needs to make a return It’s too good and has so much potential for more character development, introducing new characters and much more 🔥
A lot of people don’t acknowledge police because they dont think they go through what soldiers go through. Most don’t have to deal with what soldiers deal with in war, but we have to still remember that they deal with heavy issues that affect their mental health, and they are still people like us.
There’s no way as an officer that I could’ve returned to that scene. It would have been difficult enough just to have to drive by and look at that school.
The real tragedy is the world doesnt give you time to process. No matter what, no matter how terrible. The world keeps turning and so many people just expect you to move on with them
God bless peace-keeping forces around the globe. Bravest men on the planet. Thank you all who have served, law enforcement, military, national security, God bless you all.
Going back to where it happened is so powerful. I'll explain. During the chaos you slow your thinking so much outside stimuli gets dulled. You ignore alot of what happening. When you come back without the chaos. You remember how chaotic it was and how calm it is now. How fast the chaos was like cars on the highway then you realize how slow it was
one thing that's always come to mind while thinking of school shootings is that ... any time i ever went to like. parent teacher conferences with my parents... my parents REALLY needed me to lead them around because THEY really didn't know the layout of the school.... & its understandably highly likely that the people sent in after these shooters are JUST as unfamiliar..... & it always makes me wonder how much more effective they'd be if they were able to navigate the schools with the familiarity that the kids have...

PTSD isn't always rocking back and forth in a fetal position while screaming "THE WAR, THE THINGS WE DID". Mostly it's just this. Silent contemplation and reflection of the events that took place. Maybe you freeze up seeing something that reminds you of the trauma, but it's generally not more than voices and sounds in your head, playing on repeat.
What I love is the human side in all of this. That they really made it feel like these two were there. They witnessed all the shit and they came back to see this place, maybe, for the last time before fully coping with their grief and putting a "." on the story. Through both the shooting and the aftermath, they felt real. And as I said, as a person who suffers from PTSD, this spoke to me on a very VERY personal level.
Extremely well done and thought-through scene.
Ok relax you didn't go to war chill out
@@charliesotelo1966 And war is the only place from where you can get PTSD?
I went to that very high school in montreal for 4 years. When i saw that episode couple of years after i graduated i was speechless and shocked in front of the tv.
Ebic
Wow. It would be so disturbing to see your old high school like that, even though you know it's not real.
you went to one big ass high school. when i was watching the shooting scene, i just couldn’t believe how many hallways and classrooms i saw.
Its really sad. The trauma of a call can hurt you just like that. Being a law enforcement officer can put a toll on you mentally and physically. I just wish more agencies had better Mental Health options for their officers. This video shows you what you see on a daily will stay with you for life. You could take years of therapy and still have these attacks.
It'd be so hard going back to the same classroom where you saw a classmate die in that way.
I’ve only seen and heard about this show from this clip and the previous one where it all happens and to feel the draining trauma that they carry on their shoulders is saddening. Now I wanna binge the heck out of this show.
I just came from seeing the school shooting scene and I'm crying
Its so shocking, watching the shooting scene, all that terror, just to see how everyone's recovered, how the world ahs moved on, but for those affected it feels like yesterday, the toll has been taken and it will never be given back.
All of a sudden I really wanna watch this show. Why haven’t I heard of it before? It looks really good
Probably because it's canadian, and because the name isn't the most memorable; it honestly should've been called something else.
I'm sorry, I never watched the shooting scene or any of this show before today and I just can't get past the fact that one of the cops is Jared Keso. I can't really picture him outside of Letterkenny
He was also in Supernatural and Psych as well
I’m right there with you 😂
watch the shooting scene it’s the craziest and most realistic thing i’ve ever seen
Also spotted him in I Love You Beth Cooper
Search up "19-2 (full school shooting scene)" you will find the shooting scene.
The thing is he died in the loneliest part of the library. That empty space echoes with negative energy, he also died surrounded by the knowledge he never attempted to take in, to give himself hope that the future would be brighter. It's a sad situation on both sides because he was also a victim.
It even feels like a pointless corner of the library given it leads nowhere
If you go that far that you shoot innocent people who did not do any harm - I don't see the shooter as a victim.
Weak ass flower, can't deal with whatever problem life throws at him/her and they want to be treated better.
So take a gun and shoot innocent people.
I get it, if someone gets abused and shoots, kills that person. But people who had zero involvment - this is when I stop seeing them as victims.
Psychopaths, and you can be a psycho with 12, 21, 60 - it doesn't matter.
@@ldorman u dont get it shut up
@@Hanna-xu2yv there are people who go through much worse lives but they never ever remotely attempted to shoot up a place. The shooter was a coward and he picked on soft targets that had no chance of fighting back. When confronted by armed cops the shooter simply hid in the corner like a coward until he was exterminated.
Shool shooters are evil scum that deserve to be put down in ways I wouldn't put down animals. Zero sympathy. If they're so troubled why not shoot up a gun show or an army base? Because they're cowards and being shot back at would ruin their fantasy.
ive only watched the school shooting scene then this, but the feeling or lackthereof in the heart of the officer who had to kill the school shooter- a child- is unimaginable
19-2: returns to the place where REAL trauma occurred while acting professionally
Me: has a near mental break from finding old photos of my ex
Just remember that your feelings, your trauma is valid. I have a lot of... baggage related to 9/11. I always tell myself I shouldn't complain. I only lost one person, and I wasn't even near the towers at the time.
My therapist, on the other hand tells me that pts (I refuse to call it a disorder) is what happens when you think you're safe, then you are suddenly very unsafe. It doesn't matter if it's from being attacked, raped, shot, beaten, etc., the effects on our brain is the same. It doesn't make you any less of a person.
@@ryabow it's only a disorder if it's interfering with your life
looking at this scene after seeing the previous scene it is eerie that the whole thing from start to finished ended 30 feet from each other, from the hallway to the library. that a 20+ minute bloodbath had us go through almost every room of the entire school. only thing missing was the football field.
Writers and directors are doing an outstanding research on PTSD and constructing scenes with the place, architecture and the actors.
This shows a mature director and a great staff working with production. Outstanding skills depicted here.
Another unbroken shot as they enter the school. I have zero doubt that they even did the shot with the pan around and the students suddenly being there completely practically, just having the actors run into place as the shot panned around. I have only watched School and this scene from this series, but man did the cinematographer know how to paint a scene.
I've never heard of this show. The school shooting scene showed up on my recommended list yesterday. Best live action police show. I am a canadian so I never been around shootings but it's portrayal feels real.
The original episode is based on a real event that happen at Dawson College in Montreal on September 13, 2006. For some Montrealer's it hit very close to home since the show also takes place in Montreal, although with a fake police precinct.
I was never involved or responded to a school shooting but that whole episode did something to me
Jared Keeso is such an underrated actor. He did such an amazing job in this show.
This feels so REAL and it is HEARTBREAKING! The echos of the screams...the way the cop beelines straight to the spot where he took down the shooter... Depressing and haunting.
0:37 I guess both cops remember everything when it happened
Of course they do, stuff like that will weigh on you for the rest of your life. It plays on a loop in your mind, there’s no escape from it. They feel guilt that they couldn’t save the kids that were the victims. Those two officers could go to that school 50 years from the time of the shooting and still picture everything as if it just happened.
@@christopherclaudio2812 exactly
Heart broken at the end dude the cop remembers the little girl that was killed in front of him💔😪
idk if I should cry or not, the scene where he went to the corner the shooter was in really got me.
Just how everything feels so normal now feels more weird tbh..
Imagine your best friend just got killed. You gotta move on at some point.
You go back and realise life goes on
The one unrealistic part of this is how happy the students seem.
The door is now magnetically held
There is a guard
The front desk has glass covering it
Magnets mean nothing in a power outage or fire alarm.
Guard is unarmed.
The desk glass is bulletproof, not the rest of the school.
The illusions of safety, forever marred by the event that made it necessary. School is still in session, but it'll NEVER be the same.
I came for Letterkenny/Shoresy jokes, but then I realized how straight this was being played, and I was kind of hooked.
Wayne and Bradley had history!
How're ya now
That’s what’s up!
“Low Bones”
I've only seen this and the scene it leads from. I absolutely need to find the whole series now. This acting, writing and direction is superb (as was the camerawork in the shooting scene). I almost cried just watching him relive this.
Wayne, how are ya now?
Good n' you
@@katherinevidal4803 not so bad
Watching the initial incident was quite the experience, and this really hammers in that those officers will have to live with those memories for the rest of their lives.
I've been in a school lockdown before because a active shooter was at my community College. I was scared 😱. I understand the fear of being in a situation like that. All i can say is that its not a experience I ever wanted to be in, so I know its hard not forget that traumatic experience
As someone who's been in a school shooting they did I really good job representing it and the PTSD that comes with it
Going into the Lion's den after taking down the Lion. Any cop or military going back to their engagement area and seeing them relive it in their heads shows their courage and vulnerability.
I’ve never seen this show but I’ve now watched multiple scenes of it
Just finished watching the shooter seem then straight to this, and I even feel something within me. Phenomenal television show.
Incredible emotion aside, the practical camera work is astounding
This is a very accurate portrayal of what a good officer feels when they have to use deadly force. It is not easy on them.
I loved that Jared Keeso kept in touch with all the actors on this show and made them characters on Letterkenney
Memories will never be forgotten, even the bad ones😭😭😭
After watching this I realized: I put my truck in a ditch after I hit ice on a sharp turn down a back road, and the only thing that kept me from going over the edge of a 20 foot cliff was a tree that was as big around as a soda can. I have no clue how it didn't snap or how it held but it did. I realized that I have never been on that road again even though it was the fasted route. I don't even remember consciously making that decision. Subconscious PTSD maybe? I think I'm going to go drive it and see what happens.
What happened when you drove on that road?
@@lolgrey7263 Nothing.
I’m a simple person, I see Jared Keeso and I click.
That's what I apperciates abouts you
i just saw the 28 min video of the show that was the shooting and this feels so painful.
you never remember the ones you saved..only the ones you couldn't get to in time
“I’m okay”
“I know”
Well executed way of portraying the real effects of the event
It's obvious he's suffering from PTSD. Sadly... those kinds of shootings happen too often 😔
When you finally give the first video a chance after years of not clicking on it and then UA-cam immediately recommends the 2nd video.
I absolutely loved this series..I’m a Montrealer and it drew me in ..so familiar, it seemed real…
Where can you watch it?
This show seriously needs to make a return
It’s too good and has so much potential for more character development, introducing new characters and much more 🔥
A lot of people don’t acknowledge police because they dont think they go through what soldiers go through.
Most don’t have to deal with what soldiers deal with in war, but we have to still remember that they deal with heavy issues that affect their mental health, and they are still people like us.
Most of them don't? 9 out of 10 officers never pull their weapon in their entire careers.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 And I think thats a good thing.
Damn this scenes where more intense then any triple A movie i have ever seen
they are experiencing helluva lot PTSD
You were having a traumatic flashback to a school shooting the other daaay...
Wayne is a long way from Letterkenny...
There’s no way as an officer that I could’ve returned to that scene. It would have been difficult enough just to have to drive by and look at that school.
i've only seen that school shooting in youtube and this recommented to me so powerful scene
I wouldn't be able to go back to that school as a student or a cop, just standing in some spots knowing a students life was lost there.
I cant imagine being a student at a US high school and this being a completely realistic thing to happen.
How brave these men were not just for being cops they had heart an they cared
The real tragedy is the world doesnt give you time to process. No matter what, no matter how terrible. The world keeps turning and so many people just expect you to move on with them
The fact that this is the closest thing to real life really is scary isn't it?
There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds
God bless peace-keeping forces around the globe. Bravest men on the planet. Thank you all who have served, law enforcement, military, national security, God bless you all.
I can feel that pain from PTSD in my heart and sternum. I know that pain
Blessings to the 👮♂️ s that do have a ❤ to care especially for sake of these children I know in real life some must be parents themselves
Going back to where it happened is so powerful. I'll explain. During the chaos you slow your thinking so much outside stimuli gets dulled. You ignore alot of what happening. When you come back without the chaos. You remember how chaotic it was and how calm it is now. How fast the chaos was like cars on the highway then you realize how slow it was
Where's Bonnie McMurray when Wayne needs his mind taken off of things?! :(
Believe it or not he was in the school shooting episode.
@@samuraishinobi he?
@@samuraishinobi more accurately her dad
Can we just talk about how clean that rotation shot was
The way he wipes his tears.
one thing that's always come to mind while thinking of school shootings is that ... any time i ever went to like. parent teacher conferences with my parents... my parents REALLY needed me to lead them around because THEY really didn't know the layout of the school.... & its understandably highly likely that the people sent in after these shooters are JUST as unfamiliar..... & it always makes me wonder how much more effective they'd be if they were able to navigate the schools with the familiarity that the kids have...
This kinda reminds me of when you beat the game and then walk around in free play
Sometimes u don't need the music...u need the moment
