Howard Osofsky Quotations

You are going to have officers with shorter fuses,

People's emotions are very frayed, ... And returning citizens will often be more irritable dealing with their own issues. People coming back will be under more pressure more stress.

This is unprecedented in our country, ... There is no disaster that has had the amount of trauma for a department that this has, where so many police officers have lost homes, been separated from their families, had loved ones living in other places with no idea when they'll return.

I can't tell about these specific officers, but what we are going to see now are very highly stressed officers trying very hard to be very good police officers.
