    If an officer’s ‘mental health condition’ is so severe that they can’t testify in court, MAYBE THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE A FUCKING GUN.

      being fair, they might be traumatised from watching their partner murder someone. They should probably testify against them in that case though

        No, fuck that.

        Try that as anyone but a cop.

        Sorry yeronner I can’t face trial, the trauma of being arrested for murder is impacting my mental health, you’ll just have to let me go.
