This will make you MAD!!!!

Spacer: at the very least, we could all try to increase public awareness in this situation instead of just wrecking one man's livelyhood, paying a teenager some cash and considering the problem dealt with.

Unless the father died, the teenager wouldn't be the one suing.  That "honor" would fall to the man twitching helplessly on the floor while this whole fiasco was occurring.

can we agree on that at all?

I think the problem really stems from this officer being a veteran of abusive confrontational and testosterone filled chest-thumping situations and he has decided that he has had enough of it and its time to fight back. That kind of attitude could easily lead to much bigger problems so he either needs some serious training some psychological treatment or a pink slip. I dont think you can blame the girl at all.

 She was thinking straight enough to be able to talking about lawsuits.  It doesnt ring true.

u sure she wasn't just babbling?

I am of the thinking  (as are many others) that a majority of cops become cops ultimately to satisfy an urge to control others or to have some kind of power over them..
I am suspect of ALL cops until I know them personally(best buddy is a detective for Indianapolis Metro PD and I'm buddies with all his buddies)..  
I believe all cops have a superiority complex to some degree(again, why they become cops)..

My thinking is proven once again by this information shared here..  
This sweetheart would rather chastise this girl and hang up on her several times because NO ONE is allowed to disrespect him and then lying about it when the call is dispatched (knowing full well
he's being recorded)..  Not only does he not help her, he arrests her for going to the station to make a complaint..  Again, shows his superiority complex..  It is doubtless that if this was somehow kept hush hush and not made public, he and his buddies would be laughing about it at the donut shop..

Never trust a cop....  Most are more concerned with their pride than your safety....

there should be no lawsuits.

this guy shouldn't lose his job.....if it's the first time he's done something like this.

 however........he should have some counseling on dealing with "excited" people. he should have a pretty noticeable slap on the wrist. one that he'll thinnk about next time he wants to be like that.

 the girl needs to grow up. unfortunately, that'll only come with time.

^ That's about the sum of what I think of your post.

Where did I infer that I was concerned with what you think?

Nice that you can come on here and ridicule instead of putting down an actual thought..

Wow, I actually had to rewind and replay this again..twice.
Caller:"Are you going to give me an ambulance?"
911:"Are you going to swear again. you stupid a**?"    
If that had been my farther who was having a seizure and I got this, I would of went down their and rung his neck    

Sorry, I dont see an excuse for this. He didnt even ask what the emergency was, for all he knew someone could be dying. The first time she started swearing was before the officer even got on the line so it clearly wasnt directed at him.

 

To those defending the officer, what would you have done if it was your farther was the one in need of an ambulance?

Another question: What if the guy had died?

[mechanic]

Stodd, it is terrible behaviour from an officer of the law. I'm not defending the officer I am pointing out how he may not be the most at fault. The only thing that makes it totaly fault is that his job means he cannot have a bad day or lose his temper. They are both only human.


If it was my father I would be more interested in saying he was having a fit than shouting 'I will sue you'.

If he died, I would wish for the rest of my life that I had be calm and rational enough to get a simple message across.

I'm out now, i think i've said enough.

i already made mention of the 3 officers it took to keep me off of the amulance dude many many moons ago when i was told i shouldn't have called them for my grandpop.

<SNIP>

Ya the girl should of done a better job, im not disagreeing their. She should of said what the emergency was. If she was that mad at the officer, she can go after him in court or whatever LATER, not when her farther is in need of an ambulance.

However I believe the officer is more at blame here, to actually hang up on a girl who needed help for swearing during an emergency situation   ?

And then the officer's call to rescue:
Officer: I couldnt find out what the emergency was. UMM HELLO!?! you hung up on her!

CAP, check your pms.

If you are a clerk working at a retail store, you are required to act professionally..  You are required to take insults..  You are required to smile at all times..
You are required to act accordingly with the concept that the customer is always right..  If you do not, it is your job..  Granted, being a clerk at a retail store
is considered menial job and some would see the clerk as deserving of the BS that comes with the territory..  Yet, they seem to be held at a higher standard than
most cops..   

Cops are not held to the same standard..  The only time something comes out is if it wasn't covered up enough or if there is/was some kind of inter-department rivalry of
some kind and they snitch each other out..  Otherwise, cops take care of each other..  This is especially easier to do with larger city departments and inner-city precincts
where most people of those areas are below the poverty level and it is easy to dismiss any wrongdoing on the police's part.. 

I believe less than 1% of police actually took on the job to help people.. 

I have 2 personal experiences (one of which landed me in jail for the night with an assault charge[which was dropped] on a guy who tried to break in to my house)..
In this instance, the cops were more concerned with my questioning why it took them almost 10 minutes to respond to a 911 call of breaking and entering..
I live in a small town outside of Indianapolis..  Population 1500..  I am an amateur radio operator and monitor several scanners that have every surrounding department's
frequency programmed..  The average response time of an average call is 1 minute or less(where I live).. 

Instances like this will only become more frequent with time..  Given another 10-15 years, I don't see police here being much better than those of Mexico or Russia
where corruption is common place and those that don't conform are "silenced"..

Most cops throw the U.S. Constitution out the window and really have no clue about it what so ever besides the 1st few words "We the People" which is something they openly mock..

I know a few of you in here are cops and hats off to you if you're an honest cop especially..

I can post 1000's of things just like this and similar instances like these are becoming more common each day..

As posted previously, my best buddy is a detective and I rode with him almost on a regular basis for years before he was a detective..  I've seen the abuse of power first hand
on many occasions and have even been told myself to keep my mouth shut with my buddy saying "Better listen to 'eml, dude".. 

I have every reason not to trust any cops...  Especially ones I don't know..

that was bs
