A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

This is a very good analysis of why I cannot recommend you claim or use these accounts in any way. I fully understand if people do because money is tight, no judgement here. But like. I cannot recommend that you claim or use these accounts. Period.
