In Part 2, Rob shares the story of the officer-involved shooting that would change everything. A running gunfight, two armed teens—one with a homicide warrant—and a moment that triggered a wave of emotional trauma. We follow his courageous decision to step away from law enforcement for five years to focus on mental health. Rob talks about the therapies that helped, the nonprofit he started using music to help fellow veterans, and how he slowly found his way back to himself. Now back in uniform, Rob is on a mission to create a crisis negotiation unit—and his story is a reminder that healing is messy, but possible. ⸻ 💙 Support the mission: Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donate 🌐 Website: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com 🎙 Want to be a guest?
