EXCERPT OF ARTICLE
BOISE – Idaho's newest police officers are not being trained to inflict post-traumatic stress, the head of officer training for the state says, despite a slogan to that effect that was featured prominently in the program for the latest police academy graduation.

"Don't suffer from PTSD, go out and cause it," urged the slogan, which was printed above the list of 43 graduates of the Idaho Police Officer Standards and Training Academy's latest basic academy.

"That's not something we encourage or condone," said Jeff Black, executive director of the POST Academy. "It shouldn't have been in there – it was inappropriate."

Black said Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney pointed out the slogan to him three minutes before the graduation ceremony was to begin Dec. 14. "We both cringed," he said.
 
That was so stupid. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.
