61 year old FDNY EMS Lieutenant, 9/11 first responder with 25 YEARS of service was on her LUNCH BREAK when approached by an animal, and stabbed over 20 times in an unprovoked attack....

We will all initially be shocked, angry and sad. We will all put our flags at half mast, wear our mourning bands, put our dress uniforms on and stand as one at her funeral, then...

We will all go back to work, and to our normal lives, politicians will call for change and action but we will get neither. The city won't skip a beat, we're numbers. It's completely and utterly disgusting and I'm more than tired of it.

She IS a hero who died in vain. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, SISTER. 🚑👩‍🚒👮‍♀️🚔👮‍♂️

We FAILED you, brother.

There are 335,263,410 people in the US today and only 120,000 sworn law enforcement officers. , if you compare us to the entire population but yet we continuously continue to fail each other on a regular basis.

There were 632 law enforcement deaths across the country in 2021, nearly 25% of those were self-inflicted.

This job is stressful but the STIGMA is still very real. We have the same reactions, "omg did you hear he/she killed themself?" "Yeah man, crazy..I had no idea they were even going thru things"... then on to the next job, the next funeral, the next idea on how to change things, but NOTHING changes.

This time I want it to be different. I've actually had a couple of conversations with people but as bad as you've always wanted to do this job, it doesn't change the fact that it's just a JOB. Yes, it's a career which quickly turns into a lifestyle but there HAS to be life OUTSIDE the job. If you don't want to get married, have kids, have a dog, take up a hobby, go for a hike, go to the gym.

I think it needs to be a change of perception & mindset. We constantly focus on the negative, the things we don't have, the places we wish we could go.

People do this job for decades, or until they age out, then they retire and WHAT happens? They die. They've made this job their life, it's all they know.. when in reality you could get a commendation one day, then be suspended for 30 the next. This job will chew you up and spit you out. We're NUMBERS. No, this is not me being salty...I'm just being real.

We need to be able to live life while we're ACTIVE on this job and not wait till retirement. We need to keep ourselves healthy enough to not only make it to retirement but to actually enjoy it.

Some people are holding on so tight, I've been hearing that he reached out but unfortunately did NOT get the help he deserved.

We need to start TALKING to each other, to break the stigma and in the darkness, BE A LIGHT. We're all we got, but in actuality, we're all we need. We just need to take ownership and value each other as people. ***de

Live life to the fullest.

Recently, i've been trying to make it a point to try and appreciate little things that most people usually take for granted.

We saw that came out with a new world flavor so we just HAD to try Kirbys Fruity flurry with berry crystal bubbles!!🥴😵‍💫😋🧋🤩🥰

We stopped in to see Andy at

I got a Piña Colada slush (no rum 😫) and tried their new yogurt series with Orange juice and Yakult (Japanese probiotic) probiotic.

Guys if you're in the area please stop in, show these guys some love and grab a refreshing drink!! 🧋😋

"The journey IS the destination".
What does that even mean?! 👇

When I was training for the Police Academy 15 years ago, I was training to do 1.5 miles and it was hard, I remember how much I hated it but today I just went out and ran over 3 miles "for fun".

I haven't ran in a couple months (cuz the treadmill at work is broken) but since I'm on vacation I brought my running shoes home and decided to go for a run before everybody woke up. Did I REALLY want to? No.. I didn't eat or drink anything, and I was sore from deadlifts yesterday.

My goal this morning wasn't really for miles but more so, for time... as I was running I realized that I was on the same street where we took my first son for his walk in the stroller over 10 years ago. I haven't walked over there for years

LIFE GOES FAST. Everyday is a blessing but a new day for opportunity, to fix what you broke yesterday, to live to the fullest and to really just make memories and build a legacy. ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!

Oh look another detail and we're 🇵🇷🇺🇲👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🚔🚨

Soccer is more than just a game.

The goal, the dream, the destination, the blood, the bruises, the celebrations, the loses, defeats, the tears, the learning, the team work, the individuality, the skills, the growing, the grind, the process... all make up the JOURNEY. Live it to the fullest!!⚽️🏟🇺🇸

Got to see some awesome NYPD sports action at the Police Academy today!!💪
