Give them a raise!
Below is a story that made us wonder if any of the people who read it wondered about the officers who responded to the call and went to help this screaming man who had cut off his penis and then jumped from a balcony. This is the work our police officers do. They worked hard to calm the hysterical man, stop the bleeding, find his penis and protect it so it might be reattached, all the while with chaos, screaming, blood and chaos all around them. This is just part of the work they routinely do so let’s support our cops with more pay and better benefits. They deserve it.

News of a bizarre tragedy is emerging out of Los Angeles today, with TMZ, CNN and other media outlets reporting that a rapper named Andre Johnson of Northstar cut off his penis and jumped off a building, and survived.
Johnson, also known as Andre Roxx and Christ Bearer, according to TMZ, was with other members of Northstar in a second-floor apartment of a building in North Hollywood early this morning when suddenly and without warning, he mutilated himself and jumped from the balcony.
When they raced downstairs to find him, he was up and running around, screaming, TMZ said.
CNN quoted Los Angeles Police Sgt. William Mann as confirming that Johnson survived the fall and was taken, along with his recovered penis, to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was being treated.
