Y'all Police Best Be Ready!

When providing psychoeducational lessons on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), I teach people about the ABC model of self-disturbance (how people upset themselves through use of irrational beliefs). Now, I’ll address a finer point of this psychotherapeutic model of wellness.

For context, REBT uses the ABC model to illustrate how when an undesirable Action occurs and you Believe an unhelpful narrative about the event, it’s your unfavorable assumption, not the occurrence itself, that causes an unpleasant Consequence. That negative outcome is disturbance.

In particular, there are four predominate irrational beliefs which people often use to disturb themselves: global evaluations, low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and demandingness. When contemplating these unproductive Beliefs, think of the acronym GLAD.

It’s worth noting that the two forms of should, must, and ought-type demands with which people most often self-disturb are associated with use of absolutistic and conditional should beliefs. Generally speaking, these serve as rigid commands used toward oneself, others, and life.

An absolute must narrative is, “You absolutely must do as I say!” A conditional should narrative is, “Either you should do as I say, or you should be punished!” Noteworthy, in REBT literature, demandingness of this sort is said to function as a primary appraisal mechanism of disturbance.

Global evaluations (i.e., self-downing, other-downing, and life-downing), low frustration tolerance (also known as frustration intolerance), and awfulizing (e.g., terrible, horrible, etc.) function as secondary appraisal mechanisms. Together, GLAD will make you sad or mad, etc.

While still serving as prescriptive rather than descriptive, flexible use of recommendatory, preferential, ideal, empirical, moral and ethical, and legal ought beliefs won’t inevitably cause disturbance, as they may align with distress. Rigidity versus flexibility makes a difference.

Addressing how people upset themselves with unhelpful attitudes, the ABC model incorporates Disputation of unproductive philosophies of life in order to explore Effective new beliefs. Whereas rigid beliefs cause self-disturbance, flexible beliefs result in an un-disturbed condition.

Noteworthy, natural forms of distress are tolerable (i.e., mild anxiousness, sorrow, frustration, annoyance, disappointment, etc.). Even though unnatural forms of disturbance are also tolerable (e.g., enragement), my approach to REBT seeks the outcome which is more likely to be endured.

Now, I offer a finer point of understanding in regard to the ABC model. There are a number of flexible and inflexible terms related to demandingness which serve as derivatives to “should,” “must,” and “ought” types of self-disturbing philosophies regarding life.

For instance, “In order to understand what I’m saying, you have to pay attention,” “You better not allow your mind to wander,” “You need to listen,” and, “If you want to stop self-disturbing, then you gotta practice REBT.” Perhaps a real-world example may enrich your comprehension.

People familiar with my blog likely know that my military occupational specialty when serving in the United States (U.S.) Marine Corps was military police (MP; 1996-2007). It’s also probable that individuals subjecting themselves to my writing know that I was kicked out of the Corps.

Although I’m not proud of how my military service ended, I’m not ashamed that my military discharge is classified as under other than honorable (OTH) conditions. While I’ve sought to upgrade my discharge five separate times, the U.S. government opinion remains unaltered.

For many years, I self-disturbed with unhelpful GLAD beliefs regarding this matter. Of course, the undesired experience of having been kicked out of the military (Action) wasn’t what caused my anger, sorrow, and other unpleasant emotions (Consequence).

Viewing matter rationally, from a psychological standpoint, people disturb themselves using a Belief-Consequence (B-C) connection. Of course, this isn’t to suggest that in the context of the naturalistic or physical world there is no Action-Consequence (A-C) connection.

I’ll illustrate how the A-C and B-C connections function. Before doing so, it may be useful to highlight the administrative and legal charges I faced when in the Corps. Under the rules and regulations concerning the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), I was found guilty of:

On June 5, 2002, I was subject to a non-judicial punishment procedure for failure to obey an order or regulation (Article 92) by disobeying a military protective order not to have contact with another married Marine as she was going through the process of divorce from her Marine husband.

As well, I was charged with and found guilty of inappropriate conduct (Article 134) for having inappropriate contact with the same woman who was married “by being in bed at their home without clothing.” I was reduced from the rank of sergeant to corporal.

On October 25, 2002, I was subject to a summary court-martial for failure to obey an order or regulation (Article 90) by disobeying an order not to have contact with the same female Marine. I was reduced from the rank of corporal to private first class.

On June 11, 2003, I was subject to a special court-martial for disrespect to a staff noncommissioned officer by use of language and deportment, and failure to pull over my vehicle, remain seated when being detained, and keep my hands on a wall during an arrest (Article 91).

As well, I was charged with violating a lawful general order by “not wearing [my] utility cover [“hat”] in [my] private owned vehicle while in uniform [and] attempting to access” a Marine installation (Article 92). I was sentenced to a bad conduct discharge that was later re-categorized to an OTH.

That’s the U.S. government’s version of events under the presumption of regularity (everything is presumed right and solemn about an act until proven to the contrary). Yet, I maintain that posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury played an integral role in my behavior.

On five separate occasions, the U.S. government has disagreed with my appeals for justice. This will serve as the foundation for my A-C and B-C connection examples.

From an A-C perspective, the Naval Discharge Review Board and Board for Correction of Naval Records (“Boards”) have repeatedly denied my appeals (Action). As a result, my service characterization remains an OTH (Consequence). However, this isn’t what caused my reaction.

Rather, from a B-C view, the Boards repeatedly denied my appeals (Action), I Believed, “I’m dishonorable [G], and I can’t stand it [L]! It’s horrible not to have fulfilled my oath [A], because I absolutely should have done so [D],” and then I felt unpleasant emotions (Consequence).

If I had any hair left on my head, I would’ve already pulled it out when formerly disturbing myself with unhealthy beliefs about how the Boards neglected to consider my psychological and neurological conditions for matters of extenuation and mitigation regarding my discharge.

Now, I practice the ABC model and unconditional acceptance (UA). Also, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs considers my entire enlistment period from 1996 to 2007 as “honorable,” which helps. Still, the U.S. government opinion remains unaltered. Too bad! I’m not disturbed.

This is my healthy perspective in 2026. All the same, my view prior to daily practice of REBT was clinically unhealthy. For context, I invite you to take an illustrative trip back in time with me.

From fifth to twelfth grade, I befriended gang members. This predominately included Crips, Bloods, and Sureños. Because I suspect that spooks and feds (i.e., intelligence apparatuses and federal LE officers [LEOs]) monitor my blog, allow me to issue yet another unique disclaimer.

I am not now, have never been, nor do I foresee myself ever being a validated gang member, known associate, and/or direct affiliate of any criminal organization. Also, I unequivocally denounce any allegation of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act-related activity.

In any event, my exposure to gangbangers gave me a different perspective on life. What I now understand about fallible human beings as a professional practitioner of REBT, I somehow came to understand in childhood. Essentially, there aren’t any good or bad people. None!

It’s unhelpful to evaluate or appraise people rather than judging their behavior. Thus, I posit that not a single one of my gang friends was bad. Not one! Did they behave poorly? Of course they did! Nonetheless, people aren’t their behavior. Moreover, behavior can be improved upon.

This was my view when signing a guaranteed contract for MP when enlisting in the Marine Corps. I wanted to enforce law related to behavior without needlessly treating people as worthless. However, when approaching LE this way, I was met with opposition.

There was a clear us-versus-them attitude among many of my MP peers. Additionally, I self-disturbed with unproductive beliefs about the two-tiered justice system that existed in the military. Specifically, MPs who violated military law were rarely held accountable.

That is unless one’s commanding officer had a personal vendetta against an enlisted Marine who engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman who was legally and physically separated from her husband as they went through the six-month mandatory waiting period for divorce.

Oh, for shame!!!

In that case, one could be kicked out of the military for failing to wear a hat when entering a military base. Can you image? I can. Thus, at some point as an MP, I became disillusioned (having lost faith or trust in something formerly regarded as good or valuable).

During that time, the crime thriller film Training Day (2001) was released. Describing the plot, one source states:

A former Los Angeles security guard named Jake Hoyt has applied for a LAPD [Los Angeles Police Department] position as a Narcotics officer. However, in order to be accepted, he must go through approximately 24 hours of training from a veteran Narcotics officer.

Unfortunately for Jake, he is appointed to Alonzo Harris, an officer who has a nasty reputation for not treating victims very well, abusing suspects, handling drugs and other evidence in a questionable matter, and opening fire randomly. So, Jake must watch his own back with Alonzo on this “Training Day”.

On the soundtrack for the film was the song “W.O.L.V.E.S.” which was performed by lyricists Krumbsnatcha and M.O.P., and produced by Nottz. Noteworthy, the track sampled “Exaltation” by Wolfgang Käfer and Jan Glaesel. Lyrics of the hip hop song include:

Y’all police best be ready!

If you tired of seein’ niggas gettin’ beat in the street

Y’all police best be ready!

For all my hungry-ass thugs that be tryin’ to eat

Y’all police best be ready!

All my people in the ghetto, get up off of your feet

And let the wolves out! (Unh)

And let the wolves out! (What!)

And let the wolves out! (Unh)

Let the wolves out!

Depending on context, the declaration “y’all police best be ready” could be viewed as flexible or inflexible. Suppose I support the claim regarding a presumption of irregularity (not everything is presumed right and solemn about an act until proven to the contrary). How might I view matters?

A flexible perspective of the lyrics would relate to a demandingness derivative that reflects a recommendatory should script. In this way, telling LE that they “best be ready” is synonymous with saying “I recommend that y’all should be ready.” This begs the question: Ready for what?

An inflexible view of the lyrics answers this question, as the demandingness derivative plausibly reflects an absolutistic must command. In this manner, telling LE that they “best be ready” is synonymous with saying “Y’all police must be ready for violence which is coming your way!”

Hence, while experiencing disillusionment with the LE field when serving as an MP, I was of two minds. On one level, I could understand why my former gangbanger friends detested police. On the other level, I was a member of LE—the very entity my old friends would’ve hated.

Although I viewed all people as capable of committing acts which were good, bad, right, wrong, or otherwise, the line of distinction that separated MPs from the poor treatment I received from many of my LEO peers began to blur. Per one definition, I thus experienced an identity crisis:

[A] phase of life marked by experimentation; changing, conflicting, or newly emerging values; and a lack of commitment to one’s usual roles in society (especially in work and family relationships). […] The concept has been expanded to refer to adult midlife crises and other periods marked by change or uncertainty about the self.

To frame matters in the context of Training Day, it was as though part of me was the bright-eyed Jake Hoyt who had a Pollyannaish perspective of the LE field. Simultaneously, I was treated by fellow LEOs as though I was Alonzo Harris who fit the criteria of a corrupt cop.

Did I vow to uphold the UCMJ? Yes. Was I found guilty of having violated military law? Yes. Did I view myself as an imperfect person who sought to behave in a good manner? Yes. Did I fall short of my interests and goals, ultimately receiving an OTH discharge? Yes.

For years, I self-disturbed about this matter. The identity crisis which began in the military continued to when I earned a degree of a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education with a focus on justice administration (management and operation of the entire legal system).

Throughout that period of time, I maintained both flexible and inflexible beliefs about LE. Ultimately, I took personal responsibility and accountability (collectively “ownership”) for my experience in the Marine Corps. Thus, “y’all police best be ready” was an advisement to myself.

I recommendatorily should’ve been ready to reasonably expect undesirable consequences when failing to uphold my oath regarding obedience to the UCMJ. Although I still maintain that psychological and neurological conditions impacted my actions, the U.S. government disagrees.

Therefore, I “best be ready” to take personal ownership for how I react to the matter. This is why daily practice of the ABC model and UA are crucial for my improved mental, emotional, and behavioral health (collectively “mental health”). Thus, REBT has kept me from going insane.

All these years following my military discharge, I now observe LE officials with a critical eye. After all, I know from an emic perspective how an us-versus-them mentality impacts policing. As an example, on January 13, 2026, I stated in Drive, Baby, Drive: Changing Your Perspective:

I recognize that an additional 10 million people within the U.S. may overburden the economy. Likewise, I realize that ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], USBP [U.S. Border Patrol], CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection], and other DHS [U.S. Department of Homeland Security] personal have been tasked to address this complex issue for which I don’t have meaningful solutions.

Still, I don’t like seeing masked agents behaving in a questionable way when there are plausibly other methods of resolving the immigration issue without the foolhardy theatrics led by people such as “ICE Barbie.” (How are any of you LEOs actively supporting your oaths in this regard?)

Nevertheless, I admit how little control and influence I have regarding all of the matters addressed herein. Relatively recent immigrants may remain in the U.S. The Trump administration will likely continue wiping its proverbial ass with the Constitution.

When posting that blog entry, I figured that I was speaking into the void. (There are many such cases). Yet, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that other LEOs have now publically criticized the actions of ICE, USBP, CBP, and DHS. According to one January 21, 2026 source:

Three local law enforcement leaders admonished the way federal immigration officers have carried out their service in Minnesota on Tuesday [1/20/2026], calling for “more supervision” during enforcement surges.

Mark Bruley, chief of the Brooklyn Park Police Department, said citizens and off-duty law enforcement have reported being stopped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers “with no cause.” […]

“Law enforcement has more authority than a general citizen. That means we have more responsibility in how we behave,” Henry said.

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt echoed those calls for oversight, adding, “This moment is the time to do what’s right. We demand more from our federal government: More professionalism, more accountability, more humanity.”

I recognize that LE “has more authority than a general citizen,” which is why I comprehend why I was treated more severely for maintaining contact with a female Marine who wasn’t an MP. She received an honorable discharge, due in part to this disparate form of treatment for LEOs.

If this is the standard applying to LE versus non-LE individuals, then so be it. With this premise, one may infer that violation of civil liberties committed by all personnel falling under the rubric of a DHS command structure will treated in a similar manner as to how my case was handled.

Ostensibly, I was kicked out of the Marine Corps for not wearing a hat while a senior Marine self-disturbed with unhelpful beliefs about his perception regarding my behavior. That was enough to strip me of my badge and uniform forever more. It sucked, though I’ve dealt with it.

What then may come of those ICE, USBP, CBP, and other DHS personnel who are apparently depriving people of their First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights—all while concealing their identities and allegedly assaulting, battering, and killing people?

One imagines that “y’all police best be ready” for the legal ramifications of your conduct. Simply because you aren’t local or state law-enforcers doesn’t shield you from lawful justice. Even if not properly addressed by the current presidential administration, “y’all best be ready.”

But then again, what do I know? I was charged with engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a female Marine who was pending divorce. As well, a senior MP said I yelled at him, used profane language, and disobeyed his commands. Also, I… didn’t… wear… my… hat!!!

Oh, the horror!!!
