Sandy Hook massacre leaves Cop with PTSD and job threat

Is this yet one more case of superior stupidity regarding PTSD? Seems like it. Why else would a superior threaten a cop with being fired?

Officer afflicted with PTSD at Sandy Hook deserves to be treated with compassion

The mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012, took the lives of 20 first-graders and six educators and forever changed the lives of family members, first responders, educators, students and other community residents.

One of those first responders, Newtown Police Officer Thomas Bean, was so greatly affected by what he experienced at the horrific scene in Sandy Hook that day that he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and has been unable to return to work.

Bean, a 12-year veteran of the force, has been declared 100 percent disabled and is now collecting half of his salary under a long-term disability policy negotiated between the Newtown police union and the town.

Unfortunately, Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe earlier this year informed Bean that he would not be able to continue to receive the disability payment for much longer, even though he was disabled in the line of duty.

Instead, Kehoe told Bean, he had three choices: resign, retire at a significantly reduced benefit from what he would receive after the normal 25-year retirement mark, or get fired. Kehoe has since recommended to the Newtown Police Commission that Bean be terminated.
