REEEEEEEEEEEE

I know I was getting vibes of that meme of that one autistic leftist in the beanie yelling at the sky

I’ve sometimes seen clients this unhinged, but often it’s because they are withdrawing from something like large doses of meth of Xanax

Luckily in my job, if someone is just screaming at the top of their lungs, I can walk TF out. I don’t have to put up with that shit, I’m not there to have my eardrums hurt by their lunacy or to be their verbal punching bag

But police have more of a responsibility to the community. I think PD bodycams will slowly but surely shift public opinion more favorably towards PD as more people see the kinda shit they have to put up with on the daily

^
Those cops gave her tons of grace or else simply weren’t as good at their jobs as moistkritical thinks they were

It should have been obvious from the start that this ends with a 5150/Baker Act committal. This woman is a clear danger to the community due to mental illness and will be causing disturbances literally everywhere she goes until she gets hospitalized

The mental health component of the committal is obvious. The safety component comes into play right away when she threatens the cops lives multiple times. A competent CIT trained officer in my state would simply detain her immediately after the threat, put her in the back of their cruiser, and drive her to the police entrance of the nearest behavioral health hospital

But these cops allow her to go on her screaming tirade for what feels like hours (it probably wasn’t but I guarantee it felt like it), before luring her out of the car for the same end result. I guess the one compliment I can give is luring her out rather than dragging her out is much less of a liability risk though. But still…

That makes it sound like a cool job actually.

Like a red carpet for people that actually matter to society.

Oh yes, in my state behavioral health rolls out every red carpet for police we possibly can

Police have their own dedicated phone line at most public BH Hospitals. They have their own entrance with always no wait, unless it’s behind another cop. They have priority above all other callers to BH hotlines

And we have to attend mandatory trainings by high ranking police admin staff talking about police protocols and mindsets. And right at the start of every training, the police chief or captain or whoever is saying “we have one prevailing thought, other than paranoia, whenever we arrive at any scene. And that is HOW CAN I LEAVE HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE”

He says that thought needs to take priority over all others than safety, because of how busy we are. We can’t be tied on up these calls, we have other important calls waiting. And of course the other mindset that everyone has heard before is “if we have to come back to a scene we’ve been, it’s going to go badly for anyone involved we already warned” aka arrests will be implied

Been watching a lot of SBSK and Snake Discovery.

For rpg stuff check out Fudgemuppet and Drewmora. Imperial Knowledge.

For nerd stuff Astrum, Sabine Hossenfelder, Action Lab, PBS Space Time, and highly recommend Veritasium.

same

the shit a cop sees over their entire career fucks up the majority of them i would safely say, so going out of your way to mainline the collective fucked up shit these professions witness across the globe has to be off the charts terrible for your mental well being.

doubly so for war footage

you aren't jesus, there is zero evolutionary advantage to take on the pain or guilt of 8 billion people and it leads to angry freak outs like that woman was having or you go the other way and become nihilistic as fuck like George Carlin at the end.

Ya, I kinda glossed over it but in the police trainings the instructor is saying that every police officer is in a constant state of paranoia

He didn’t go into details, but I’m assuming the thought process tends to go:

I could die at any moment
I could die at any moment
Etc

And they aren’t taught to be this way. I’m assuming it happens after a never ending series of close calls. And there’s no way that’s a healthy way to go through every work day. Although obv there are some more dangerous professions, I was surprised to learn logging is actually worse lol

I never carry that thought with me in my job, I guess I have been blessed that have anticipated or avoided potential close call situations but I get info and prep time ahead of time police don’t
