Help for the Helpers! The COVID pandemic has taken a toll on everyone, but even more so for those on the frontlines battling the virus every day. As a result, some doctors and nurses are burnt out and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Are there adequate mental health care options available for our first responders? Dan is joined by State Representative Colleen Garry and Dr. Hayden Duggan to discuss trauma treatment and stress support for health care professionals impacted by the COVID pandemic.
Low Bail. The tragedy that struck at a Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade last week leaving six dead was carried out by a man who was just released on low bail for two separate allegations of violence. It was the Milwaukee District Attorney’s office who sought a low bail for the suspect, Darrell Brooks. Is the Milwaukee DA responsible for the deaths of the six people in the Christmas parade attack? Essex District Attorney Jon Blodgett and Head of National District Attorneys Association District Attorney William Fitzpatrick join Dan to discuss.
Anarchy in the Streets. Over the past couple weeks, crime has been on the rise in some of the nation’s largest cities. There has been mass looting in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco where there is a lack of prosecution by local DAs. Closer to home in Boston, an 82-year-old was innocently attacked and followed by a group of ATV riders for just being on the street. Is Boston following the lead of cities like Los Angeles and Chicago where anarchy rules the streets?
