To Serve & Protect

Police academy class slogan: Cause PTSD

A state police academy leader has disavowed the slogan of the most recent graduating class urging one another to "go out and cause" post-traumatic stress disorder.

Each class at the Idaho Police Officer Standards and Training Academy is allowed to choose a slogan that is printed on its graduation programs, and the class of 43 graduates came up with "Don't suffer from PTSD, go out and cause it."

According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, "nearly 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. And nearly 400,000 experience homelessness over the course of a year."

I suppose those 43 Idaho motherfuckers now armed with badges, truncheons, & guns are just going to have to deal with the fact there's a pretty good chance that someone they are terrorizing already has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Let's face it. It's not like these cops are likely to pepper spray Bill Gates after all.
