Get there, there are two 15 year olds, one white, one black, laying dead in the ditch with broken necks from where they wrecked the dirt bike they were on. No ID's on either, no plate on the bike and the VIN is not registered. Load them up and send them to the morgue. Then, about an hour and a half later you get a call to take a missing person report. You get to the house and the Mother (white) is reporting her son was out last night with his friend (black) and they didn't come home. You have to stand there and take the missing person report without saying anything because the coroner has to make the notification. One of the worst hours of my life filling out that report, then going to get the coroner to come back and make the notification. But guess what, clear the call and take the next one. That is the stuff that wears on a person. And my wife wonders why I don't stop at wrecks when other people are. If no one is there, I'll stop. If there are people there, I just go on by. 

damn dude.  i cannot imagine this scenario.  hope you take the time someone to talk to a professional about some of this stuff at some point.  you may not feel an immediate need to at any specific point, but I can tell you it would probably help, even if in the slightest bit, no matter how far removed you are from these sorts events.  speaking from personal experience there bud.  wish you the best and thank you for what you've done for the community you served.
