Police again
Bush Tucker Man:
--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---
I hate to say this but, I've had assault Police cases dropped by CPS because the practice of 'plea bargaining', which apparently doesn't go on, did go on.
I kicked up a stink about and was told in court by the 'supposed learned counsel' that I should accept being assaulted as part of my job, and if he had his way, he wouldn't prosecute for it.
I put in a complaint, and the brown smelly stuff hit the metallic whirly thing.

Being assaulted shouldn't be a part of anyones job. The Police deserves as much respect as anyone else.
Sadly, however it does come with the territory for you guys (& girls) :(
Every Friday/Saturday when I'm on lates I expect to see at least 1 totally obnoxious & charmless waste of DNA.
I'm glad to hear that the said brown stuff did its job when put in contact with the whrling blades :D

I have only been assulted at work once thank goodness and they was a few weeks ago and its going no where as the idiot CCT operator was distracted by a car and took the camera off the officers who were trying to make an arrest! :roll:
I guess that ford focus was a risk to all! :roll:

Interesting this thread
picked up this quote
"We have the Red & Yellow card system, but I've never seen it used."
now i know someone quite old who has several minor health problems quite harmless and never been in tourable before
but he claims he is treated differently at hospitial, clinics and the like claims he is followed by secuirty, always seen first, doors left open, doctors ask nurses to attend examinations, even his wife notices a difference.
his surname is simialar to a pretty rough local family but no connection case of mistaken identity ? , does not mind though never spent more than a hour on car parking charges saves a cool fortune.
Bush Tucker Man:
--- Quote from: "Llanigraham" ---I love the attitude by our local Ambulance Trust when faced by aggressive "customers".
They ask if they wish to be treated, and if they refuse walk away, on the grounds that if the "injury" is severe enough they will soon pass out, and then can be treated with "restraint".
Amazing how successful a couple of bandages can be!!

I believe that our local Trust has the same attitude.
I do know that if a drunken/obnoxious patient starts spitting on the floor of the 'drunk-mobile', if they don't stop when asked, a very tightly applied oxygen mask does the trick for the crews.
If the patient is 'fighty'/'combative'/etc.... be it from alcohol/medication/head-injury/fitting, etc... two crews will be involved.
If it's that bad, one 'Drunk-Mobile' will be left 'at scene', with 3 in the back with patient & one driving, thankfully it's rarely that bad, usually the 2nd vehicle will follow with one crew member driving.
On a slight digression;
Recently our Security staff asked for stab-proof vests, but were refused them by management.
When asked why, they were told that it was a 'calculated risk' not to issue them.
But, after all, what members of management are doing what they do?
(I must add that it wasn't their own manager who said "No" to them, it was from above)
I've taken a carving knife off someone, thankfully he was drunk enough to be compliant & not aggresive with it.
I've never told SWMBO, as she'd go ballistic with me
Although, if he'd threatened me with it, I'd have still had to ask him for it, due to the possible risk to female staff (or hit him with a Fire Extinguisher!!)
Also, it's not so long since one of the Security staff was threatened with a rifle! (the guy ended up getting shot dead by Armed Police in nearby woodland!)
