0:00.0	People suffering from mental health issues, which I'm sure you know how much this affects police officers.
0:05.2	They feel sort of stuck in this pattern or way of thinking or depressed state or trauma and you can't get out of it.
0:13.0	There's definitely a stigma around mental health in general, like not talking about your trauma, not talking about your emotions,
0:19.6	not wanting to be put off of duty
0:21.7	because you're dealing with PTSD. There's a lot of reasons why we don't want to take a medicine

1:36.4	who is wearing Moroccan garb. However, is Persian and I think he said Afghan. You say Afghan?
1:42.3	You're Pakistani. You're Pakistani. Pakistani. Pakistani. Pakistani. Do you say Persian too, though? I did. And Tanzania. So go on your map, look where
1:48.2	these things are and just make a big circle around this area. That's where her parents are from.
1:51.7	But today we're talking about something a little off topic from this conversation usually,
