Former Police Officer Mike Pangallo Details On-Duty Shooting and Systemic Backlash

Discover the psychological and professional ordeal endured by a former officer following a critical shooting incident, and the systemic failures encountered during his recovery and appeal process.

Short Summary

  • Mike Pangallo experienced a life-altering shooting incident that led to PTSD and official leave.
  • He faced internal organizational backlash and lost friends after seeking necessary mental health support.
  • The pension board aggressively contested his disability claim, forcing him into a costly, drawn-out appeal process.
  • His subsequent job search proved fruitless due to reliance on his law enforcement background without a college degree.

This discussion traces Mike's career path from corrections to patrol, culminates in the high-stakes decision to use lethal force, and exposes the harsh realities of departmental support (or lack thereof) post-trauma. Understanding this journey highlights the hidden emotional costs borne by officers in high-stress professions.

I’m in a similar position at work and I know what we did wrong, we both decided to ask for help and are now facing retaliation. Not that it should be like that and we can’t quit or let them win. Stay strong 💪

That’s how it goes, when the company is done with you, they’re done. It’s very alienating for someone that simply was trying to just do their job.

This dude needs to start a Podcast based off his experience because there’s a lot of other Cops out there, who got treated just like him.
