Hey, I just thought of something, it's about the Idaho murders I'm sure it's has nothing but I can't help but to think that it maybe a thought, the novel Crime and Punishment could also be a contributing factor if anyone has read this classic novel, you might see a connection,or not but it came to mind when I was listing the books that I want to replace that I've lost over time.
Thank you for sharing this story and truly inspirational how this man transformed his pain into the ability to help others. When he said he didn't blame the shooter, that he knew he just didn't get the help he needed, this is truly heartbreaking because it's a reality for most people with mental illness and depression.
Thank you Sir for sharing your story, you are the spokes person, and your right we have a major mental issue aross the globe. Blessings to u and your family!!
When someone takes your ability to walk makes you angry beyond anything most people can ever imagine. I'm not paralyzed but crawl around the house all day. I feel his pain! It's been humbling....
Glad you survived, and have found new meaning in life. Life always changes in the most unexpected ways, true strength is learning to adapt and sometimes overcome those changes, just as you did. Thank you for your continued service!
I did not expect this story to affect me like it did, thank you Law&Crime for a fantastic video. I had to look him up and his efforts to help other officers has real world benefits that are paying off today in 2023! Thank you Officer Brite for taking mental health seriously!!
Thank you for sharing your story….. mental health is no joke and needs to be talked about opening more especially with men. There should not be any sigma behind it, and men and women should feel it’s ok to talk about. Always check up on friends and family, instead of saying I hope your doing ok, ask them how they are. Take time to listen to them so they feel comfortable talking to you about it.
The criminal dies and the good guy is left to pick up the pieces, how awful, but at least his family has him alive. And I disagree with the officer, it was the fault of the criminal, not society's b/c we must be our own advocate for good physical and mental health. I wish you and your family well
They had interacted with him for years because of his mental health problems. This officer would not be in this situation if someone had helped the "criminal" years ago. Glad the cop didn't die and is an inspiration to others.
You and others could have given uP at any time post to the gunshot,… y’all didn’t. We never know how are paths in life will enfold, but your unfortunate situation, has been a blessings to so many thus far !! Continue to be the ‘Bright light that are,… YOU are lOved 💛💫
@@sarcasticallyrearranged Im assuming/hoping OP means that in a few years he will adjust to being in a wheelchair, maybe they didn't get to the next part of the video where Joe Swanson starts making positive and productive changes to his life and mindset. (:
A lot of mental health issues in this country they need to step up their game there's a lot of money instead of taking care of illegals and bringing them into this country and giving them everything why don't we put it into mental health for the people that are already here. Not trying to make this a political thing but a real thing we need to take care of our own 1st. We as Americans can go to no country Nor should we be expected to And get all the services That they don't even give to their own people
We already have the money to put into mental health services.. they just choose not to. It has nothing at all to do with illegals. Quite literally, nothing at all. The two aren’t related whatsoever. We don’t bring illegals into this country and we don’t give them everything. I don’t agree with providing illegals with anything other than a flight back to their country, but even if they didn’t spend the money taking care of those people, they wouldn’t use that money for mental health services. That’s just a fact. People really think that if we stopped giving money to and helping others, that that would mean the government would start doing good things for us lol that’s just ridiculous. They have the money right now to take care of our own, they CHOOSE not to. You can’t blame everyone else for the choices our government makes.
No one is giving illegals everything. Blame your state government for how much money is given for mental health care and I can assure you that it’s not much. Meanwhile, every police department has had their budget increased every year. Go look into your state funding!
AK47?? Why are folk allowed to own these types of weapon? It’s insane - I’m from outside the USA and I’m saddened that innocent folk like this officer have to suffer because of the madness of the 2nd Amendment. It’s insane, so many innocent folk being murdered or maimed and nothing ever gets done about it. I can’t understand it.
I couldn't, you say you now understand Roddock. Nothing gives licence to kill another human being. Or when in depth of a mental state or drug influence, inexcusable. Particularly an innocent one venges frustration on, is worst immorality IMO. So not fair. You went in to save that creep & he did that. In your police service. X
I went to school with the daughter of the shooter. I wrote a story for that year’s yearbook about the cop and the community gatherings that happened as a result of this event. The girl’s friends pulled the story from the book before it was submitted to be printed.
Remember this like it was yesterday I was a explorer with Douglas county I never knew Dan Brite but I knew his wife cause and always sending positive vibes and just a great group of people always thinkin about my explorer peeps love the brothers n sisters in blue
The issue is the Calibre’s. .556 and 7.762 go through walls and cars. I do not believe in gun control but it is obvious that the issues are the Calibre’s. Deer hunting Calibre’s are higher powered but can not be used in a semi automatic rifle.
What a Champion! God Bless you. 🙌 I work in the Mental Health Profession and honor you my friend! 💜🙏✝️ for all you do and 🙏 for continued healing, joy and inspirational success. 💜
Thank u for ur service. Assault weapons should be for war only. U saved so many & I too, saved a life & am in chronic pain but not phantom pain. I see laser being able to cure that pain receptor in the brain for phantom pain. Im so sorry for all ur pain uve been thru! SUPERMAN was in ur condition also. God Bless & there r things u can do but differently💜🙏💜
An unnecessary outcome from a blatant misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment. Wonder if he still wants everyday crazies to have access to weapons of war, ie AK-47
The right of the people to keep and bear arms. It means they can have a gun. Never excluded weapons that were used in war. Every gun that shoots a bullet is deadly if misused.
So, somehow you have gotten this twisted. The issue in question is not one of constitutional law. People will get access to weaponry, whether it is illegal or not. The underlying issue here, as well as the issue being presented by Detective Brite, is one of mental health. Stop trying to skew this to your agenda.
More training of colo cops ,cops in delta county colo murdered my brother,who also was in r v ,2002 no criminal history ,navy veteran,he too was having depression ,from gulf war,I m sorry for this guy,but he is still alive ,he can still get up have his family,my brother 39 , years old my family got life sentence,.

Assault weapons were made for war. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Their bullets r meant to maim & kill.

I'm so sorry for what you have went through
I really hope this officer has a great recovery much love 💓 and respect
Ironically, the shooter was dropped 500 meters before he would have rammed into the local hospital.
what goes around comes around,,,
Wow. This was powerful.
That’s so sad. I can’t even imagine going through something so life changing.
WOW! Respect sir, and lots of it!! 🙏❤️

Give it a few years man, ive been in a wheelchair for years u can still hold ur wifes hand. the lower parts of your body is the crappy part.
Give it a few years to?

Has anyone made a Ron Swanson joke yet?
Why would you be in a shootout with a suicidal person lol
@@valerierodger7700 so that would make them homicidal

That's amazing, a civilian has an AK weapon. Isn't that supposed to be a military or wartime weapon only?
