Gawd...it is NOT remote and the terrain was flat as a pan cake!
They were looking for a missing person, an innocuous thing, but.....but.....but....there is a question as to why, given such an apparently innocuous thing...why FOUR coppers (likely TWO cop cars) needed to go there for such a banal routine thing. They may have expected some growls, no cups of tea and scones, but obviously not of the kind they were met with.
That’s what I was wondering too… why 4 cops?
Then lucky there was… as 2 would’ve been dead and cops wouldn’t have known for ages…
At least one cop with bullet in leg was able to get to car to immediately alert authorities code… whatever
And to have an extraction team come save the female cop hiding in bush.
It’s a dark sad day the way all this took place.
Sad for those 2 young officers losing their lives.
I read the young female only just joined the force?
We have a cop friend that’s now a court prosecutor… he used to be our neighbour.
He saw how athletic and fit our daughter was and would say she should join the police force.
We did start the process… then I thought… it’s such a negative job.. always facing uncertainty or drop kicks etc.
yeah it would be a tough gig.
you become like the people you spend most of your time with , as a general rule.
people absorb the surrounding emotional state like a sponge.
when you are surrounded by haters and low lifes and liars and thieves and violent thugs, that has to change your personality, unless you are some sort of super human.
most cops i know only hang out with other cops.
i find a lot of them become bitter and resentful and depressed, often turning to alcohol.
if i had a friend in the force (and my daughter was going to apply) i would advice they study stoicism and eastern philosophy so they can turn the choas of the job into the fuel they use to improve rather then resist it and become consumed by it.
meditation, lots of martial arts, lots of mind training, lots of mentoring.
i would say 95 % of people are not cut out to be cops.
and those who think they are are most likely DEFINITELY not cut out to be cops
