Wow. I'm speechless. During my cop days, we had to get a guy out of a trailer who was apparently dead for several days (I took a pic with my cell phone--still have it). It was horrible. |
Yeah sure. It was so horrible that you took a pic of it and kept it, and even look at it from time to time.

It was horrible. It didn't bring me to tears or anything. After about a year of being a cop, I became desensitized to a lot of things. I have pics of guys who commited suicide, car accidents, house fires, etc. Does my taking a pic of them make them any less horrible? The guy was brown (except for the parts covered by clothes), despite the fact that he was a white guy. His skin was like tissue paper. We had to pick him up and put him into a body bag. When we did, his back ripped open an bugs came out. Sounds pretty horrible, right? I didn't say it moved me. Afterwards, I went home, changed uniforms, and ate dinner. That still doesn't mean it wasn't one of the most grizzly things I've ever seen.
I actually edited the more graphic parts from my original post and went with the "I'm speechless".

Hehe, I was just joking around, making fun of how lots of people find such sights to be "cool", and would put them up as their desktop background.

I should have figured, Sapphi. I'm actually a fan of yours and if I took the time to see who was posting instead of what was posted, I should have caught that. To be honest, the contents of my SD card have been used in court, several times (we'd print the pics out, of course). I didn't always have a camera but I always had my phone. I took pics of everything.
And while I enjoyed having that job and I think I'm pretty normal, I think that I lost some of my humanity because of some of the things I saw. But, this isn't about me. And I do genuinely feel sad for what that daughter had to go through. If I thought about it hard enough (which I tend to not do because I'd depress myself), I'd probably be crying right now.
