High-Stress Police Beat Response

I was really appalled by some of the instances and scenarios the several reporters have been in. I could not imagine witnessing a gruesome body of a shooting victim and then be expected to just have it all together. I really commend those reporters that work on the police beat. It takes a lot of resilience, courage, and composure to be able to work through such tragic, and sometimes frightening conditions. It takes even more of those things when interviewing someone about their murdered child or family member. Places with such high crime rates such as the District of Columbia and Baltimore have to have reporters with tough skin. However, it is so unfortunate that those reporters reap certain physical and mental consequences.
