Lifting Spirits After a Tragedy

It’s a horrible situation when a police officer’s life ends in tragedy. The quite literally put their lives on the line every day. You cannot even imagine how painful it is for a family. Even further, something that people may not always think about is the effect that the loss of a comrade has on the precincts for which these officers serve. When you lose a member of your working family, it leaves a tremendous void.

Last year officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu of the 79th and 84th Precincts in the NYPD were killed. For the 79th and 84th, that void is very real.

So, I decided that the latest episode of “The Hook-Up” should center on lifting the spirits of the officers they worked most closely with. I wanted to boost the morale of these people because of the profound effect that these losses of life had on them.

I know New York is New York, but people don’t realize how dense the population in in the area truly is, nor do they understand the challenges for police officers that come along with that. There’s so much pressure on the police department to handle so many different people that have all different type of problems and dilemmas.

I, myself, did not have a full understanding of that until I had the pleasure of spending the day at the 79th and 84th as part of the show.

If you just take a second to breathe and think about your local police station and the challenges that they’re dealing with on a day-to-day basis, you may just want to upgrade the amount of love and respect you give to these people.

Here’s a glimpse of my experience with them and NYPD Commissioner William Bratton, as well as Yankees legends Willie Randolph and Paul O’Neill.

  • My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my EX-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet for help, I searched properly and I saw different reviews of Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via what’s app on (+2348167159012). He gave me reason to live again and he prepared a spell and told me that my Ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it, my EX-boyfriend came back to me and our wedding will be held Soon. Contact him now!!! if you need any help. Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and he does a lot of spells.
