Heaven help us if he had to investigate a gory murder - or a series of them.

(But I don't think he would be allowed to do that as a DC.)

He could have asked to be reassigned. OK it might not have looked to good if he did but surely better than what he has now which is....

Jobseekers Allowance!

Many Police and Detectives have had to have counselling after investigating gory murders and the like.
They are human you know. You are missing the point that quite a few have said on here that he likely also already wanted to do something different anyway as well as being affected in some way by the investigation he had been working on.

I am not in any way anti Police so I am really sorry but I cannot grasp where you are coming from.
Clearly for 10 years he did his job good and that is obvious because he rose to DC and is still only 33, I give him great credit for that.
As I do his courage to move on.

Maybe going into BB is also helping him think as to what he likely intends to try to do after he comes out with space away from normal life and the usual influences.
