Oh I’ll check them out, thank you!

I’ll check them out, Ty!

This is helpful thank you!

Will check it out, thanks!

I’ve also heard terrible things about them. Might keep them as a last resort though. Thank you both!

Mating season?

That was my thought? Is it true?

I’m certainly not “coming at” you, I’m simply pointing to my invitation to having you learn a bit more about a profession you don’t seem to have much personal experience with, or at least alter your perspective if not change it entirely. I’d call that welcoming rather than adversarial. For a profession accused of being close minded, it seems you’re the one with an entrenched position.

And yes, of course there will be cases of misconduct, we’re human beings and we’re going to make mistakes, it’s inevitable. I’d be concerned if data showed that there was no misconduct because that would mean the data was wrong. Taking a tiny subset and using it to impugn the entire profession is statistically incorrect however; compare police related misconduct to the aggregate of police interactions and you’ll see it’s a tiny fraction. By way of example, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in America: how many doctors/nurses do you know of who have been fired?

lmao, nope! in fact what i'm afraid of is cops. it's a pretty normal way to feel about a professional class that has the power to completely alter or even end my life with limited, if, any, consequence - & who routinely, documentedly abuse that power. maybe you should be concerning yourself with the behavior & actions of the folks who inhabit your profession rather than coming at civilians grousing about rightfully earned negative public perception. your real problems are in-house.

I like Well Life Therapy and know quite a few people who go there as well. Their office is in Middletown, but I think most of their providers offer virtual sessions. They responded very quickly to my initial request which was such a relief.

Treating all cops in every state as if were the same seems pretty silly. I’m guessing if someone said that they didn’t like doctors or lawyers because some of them are terrible, you’d think that person needed some perspective.

What I find most interesting is that the police are constantly accused of having a closed culture. But I’m here suggesting that you come get to know us and your response is that I “go off” because you’ve had bad experiences in the past, as if those are the only possible experiences you could have. Are you afraid of having your mind changed?

in fact my "experience is filtered" through my own personal experiences with cops, my own loved ones' direct experiences with cops, & state/national statistics, but go off.

uh, what

Tennis Central in Woodbridge

Choo chooooooio

They were celebrating the new union contract.

I am a New Haven cop, so I’m pretty familiar. That sucks that’s been your experience, but in my science there’s different degrees and causes of “horrible.” Some of those are the fault of the officer, some are more bureaucratic, state law, etc.

I also heard this and was wondering. I guess it could be extra freight moving or maintenance, but I’ve never heard so many horn blasts or heard them so continuously. I thought there must be some other reason.

It's the holiday season and lots of freight is being moved

Probably maintenance crews on the tracks.

Being trains 🚊

Willow Treatment in Hamden has some of the best therapists around. A major help to me and multiple people close to me.

I don’t know the answer but I wonder if traffic stops are too dangerous or if they too often result in more work by revealing other crimes occurring. You stop someone for blowing a light and all of a sudden there’s weapons or drugs involved which change the tone of the whole stop/shift.

Have you ever called a New Haven cop for assistance? They are horrific to deal with.
