"I could have killed my husband!", or: How not to respond to police (long/language!)

WOW... Scary enough, I know people like that.

I know good cops. I know bad cops. He seems to be one of the good ones. Should have had her tested for drugs. If she wasn't high, she might need to be sectioned on a psych charge.

My new job involves working with people who have bipolar and/or schizophrenia/scitzo-affective disroder. This woman was clearly off her meds. And I'm almost willing to guarentee she pushed the emergency button on purpose to instigate the very situation that occured.

[tropicsgoddess]

That woman needs some meds. Seriously. All she had to do was say, "It was an accident, everything's fine," and then gone back to sleep.

Oh yea, she needs some meds alright...some Thorazine.

About five minutes later, an officer shows up. Good guy, I've had him out here a few times before, and I always let him know he's welcome to stop by whenever he wants and grab some coffee and bite to eat. I have the highest respect for the police out here, so it's nice to give back in whatever way I can.

I've never had a problem with Clark County's finest either. Despite Metro's reputation for breaking their annual "police related shootings" tally by March, every one I've ever met or worked with have been great people.

Drive an hour northwest into Nye County and well, that's a different story

Oh yeah, that was definitely entertaining. Don't worry about the length!

[WhiteRose]

yeah, i've met some awesome cops that were uber friendly and willing to joke with people and stuff...i like them.

Cops are just like every other group: You've got some good, some bad, and some that shouldn't have been let into the group in the first place, and most of them are in the good side of the spectrum.

Want the cops to leave you alone? STOP STEALING SHIT!

As so wonderfully demonstrated byChris Rock (NSFW, Language)

[protege]

Why the hell would you spit on a cop of all people. Let alone come downstairs to confront a cop and than spit on him. ><

I can't understand that reasoning either. I bet the bitch (and I'm being nice here ) was simply looking for a fight. I always find it amusing to see people want ton "start shit," and then get upset when they get their ass handed to them. Karma's a bitch that way

[infinitemonkies]

Excellent pwnage! I, too, have deep respect for the people who sometimes risk life and limb to keep the peace. I get really, really ticked when someone shows an officer disrespect.

Too true. I know so many people who'll say things like "Fucking pigs, always hassling you."

And I'll go off on them, point things out like "That's because you've been arrested 6 times, and every one of those times you were fucking guilty!"

I'm going to guess that lady was under the influence of something.

Darwinism?

But yeah, I have the utmost respect for cops. I talk to a lot of cops on a nightly basis for various reasons. There is a real sense of....how do I put it. The moment you talk to them you realize they're an abused kindred spirit. They are the Lifeguard of the gene pool whilst I am the pool boy. -.-

[Hobbs]

wow... this is why I have police dispatch on speed dial at work

Yeah, I got 'em on my cell phone too.

Almost got written up when I called them though... >.>
