This episode is dedicated to my buddy, Diego Moreno (aka 2K56).
In recent discussions, including Ep. 136 where I'm interviewed by Mark Bouchard, and several social media posts, I continue the well-received topic of near-misses, almost shootings and the like.
It is truly not just the big incidents that trigger admin and outside investigative response. It's not just the events where we are put on admin leave or where a debrief is set up that affect us greatly. Rather, so many times (as evidenced by your responses, messages, and feedback) it's the things that largely go unnoticed to the outside.
It is our own recognition that sometimes things were "fine" day, close call that was so close it could have been absolutely devastating. A career-ender, or frankly a life-ender. Oftentimes these are the most jarring, especially since the awareness is not widespread, and thus support may be lacking. Sometimes we don't want the support- at least that's what we tell ourselves.
In this episode, I share about a story I haven't spoken about quite as much as some others. It was a close call for me, and frankly, my K9 Kato. I share my feelings, thoughts, anger, and ultimately what I am most grateful for in the aftermath of that night.
*I had considered leaving this episode fully unedited as a means to share how speaking about it affected me. However, I did edit down long pauses near the end (they're still there..) as to not distract from listening. We aren't emotionless beings, and we were never meant to be.
