Tell me why I act stupid, Patrick. Cuz
you [ __ ] are dumb as hell. No,
that's not what it is. Yeah, it is.
You're a [ __ ] crackhead, man. Oh,
man. We used to have good times,
Michael. We even took you for donuts the
one night. Oh, you're the one that was
with his ass. Yes.
Oh, he's worried about going. Watch your
knee.
[Music]
I want to take just a second to talk
about a concept called compassion
fatigue. You know, police officers and
first responders are often criticized
for not having any compassion for the
public, treating people like they just
don't care. The reason for that is
because we pour our hearts and souls and
our lives into these people trying to
help them literally saving their lives
only to watch them turn around the next
day and throw it all away. It takes a
lot of energy for me to, you know, to
spend with those people to show some
compassion, to show them that I care,
and then it causes me a lot of pain to
watch them throw it all away. As a
police officer for 14 years, I've seen
it more times than I can count. The
pregnant woman that I took out to lunch.
She is currently out on the streets
doesn't have custody of any of her
children, has been arrested probably 10
or 15 times since I took her out to
lunch that day. Uh Scott Lewis, who I've
scooped up off the street many times,
take him to rehab. Actually went into
his rehab facility and uh filmed a
two-hour long video with him talking
about his experience in rehab. He's back
out on the street right now. Michael
Zervvis, we saw his interaction where I
ran into him in a BP, took him in for a
cup of coffee. We stood outside and
talked about his 22 months of sobriety
back out on the street smoking crack.
The video that we're going to be
watching today is going to be Michael
Zer's relapse. You know, people look at
my videos and they say, "Look at the
amount of compassion that this officer
puts into the public. He he's really out
there protecting and serving and making
a difference in these people's lives."
As you do this for long enough, you
realize that maybe you're not actually
making a difference in these lives.
Maybe the amount of compassion that
you're putting into these people isn't
paying off. That's what compassion
fatigue is. And that's what causes first
responders is as time goes on to lose
that compassion and just start treating
people like they don't care because it's
a lot easier to go about your day that
way. And at the end of the day, it
probably doesn't matter anyway. So,
without further ado, I want you to see
the results of all of the compassion,
all of the work, and everything that I
put in to Michael Zer getting him clean
and kind of where that got us.
One, I'm here. The medics are safe. We
didn't slow everybody down. What are you
