Police Stress vs Black Citizen Stress ?

The question under scrutiny was whether the daily non-stop stress of being a police officer bumps heads with the stress of a black person being subjected to daily non-stop racism ? Police accuse blacks of being prone to violence and blacks accuse the police of being prone to violence. There were some clues found in my investigation that suggested that both the police and blacks experience "Fight or Flight responses" to daily persistent stress. Police officers (among several other occupational groups) are bombarded with stress on a daily basis-a hazard of the job. Many blacks are employed in similarly stressful occupations and their stress ( or ' Fight or Flight' ) response may be compounded by the stress of daily racist assaults to their well-being. It is conceivable that a black police officer who is also a victim of racism on a daily non-stop basis may have a stress "Fight or Flight" response that is off the charts . What may result is what could be termed a 'warrior stand-off' ( for lack of any other clinical or scientific term ). There is some science behind the "stress-related (Fight or Flight) response" . Does this mean that we live in a sick society ? In many ways, 'yes' . The researchers in the medical and mental health communities have a very difficult and yes stressful job in finding healthy interventions. It is conceivable that stressed out police should have shorter work shifts or immediate sick leave to bail when their stress levels get too unmanageable versus remaining on the street at-risk to themselves and others. Black citizens should be able to employ the same 'release valves' after dealing with daily periods of "race-based traumas". Relaxation-training, crisis management de-escalation training and elimination of racism (at all community, city, state and federal )levels would benefit both groups.
