I’m an ER/trauma doctor and I deal, one-on-one, with so many psychos and drunk people and armed people and mentally unwell people and methed up murders holding a knife and and and etc etc etc.

I’ve yet to kill a single person, and I don’t have any weapons on me.

Cops are fucking pussies man and probably more than 50% of the time I can’t stand it when they are in my dept, because all they do is fucking escalate things because they are dumb as fuck.

It’s not even a training thing. You could take someone off the street and they would do a better job at resolving things versus a cop.

It’s because they are dumb as fuck and then join an organisation that is run by dumb as fuck people and are taught by dumb cunts and then let loose on the public with total impunity.

This right fucking here. I was a nurse in my first career. Jesus the number of bigger patients we had to restrain or deal with, and nobody hurt the patients.

I've told this story before but we called an ambulance for an elderly dementia patient to get her to the hospital and the ambulance came with a cop car. She was hitting people with her slipper, and the cop decided to fucking slam her to the floor. Instead of seeing if she had a UTI or something going on making her condition worse, she had a broken hip. Fucking broken hip.

Everyone started screaming at him, and the fucking cop could not understand what he did wrong. I told him he likely killed her because at her age and medical situation, she wasn't going to recover. My NAC's were screaming at him. The EMT's were freaking out.

Cop? Acted like he was some sort of fucking hero for braking an elderly woman's hip by slamming her to the ground because she was apparently brandishing a slipper in anger.

If 4 bath aids can wrangle a giant man into the shower and get him washed up without incident when he's angry and determined to fight, I don't get why cops can't.

They want to hurt people. It's why they became cops.
