I am.at the ER with my daughter for a mental health issue .have been since 830 AM.
About a half an hour ago a man was brought in who is obviously and loudly experiencing a mental health emergency.
He initially was left in the hall strapped to a gurney while the ambulance people and three of our counties finest..2 city cops and one county cop..laughed at and made jokes about the man.
They don't realize that I am in the room directly across the hall from the room where they finally have placed him and can see and hear everything they are saying and doing.
They have no idea there is a witness to their totally callous and unprofessional conduct.
I am so appalled and upset for their lack of empathy for this poor guy
All three of the SOBs need fired.
They are supposed to serve and protect us .ALL of us..
And instead they wanna laugh belittle and bait.this poor man who is already suffering a traumatic event in his life. They think its funny..a joke that this man is miserable and having these issues.
I have the names of all three and badge numbers and I am seriously considering reporting their behavior .. I am not anti cop..far from it..and have never considered doing anything even remotely like this.
These callous and uncaring jerks.. who my town has decided deserve to wear a honored police uniform are an absolute disgrace to the men and women who pledge to serve and protect us.
I see my child in him and how DARE them.to take this mans distress as fun and games.
Hes a human being and deserves to be treated as such..not made fun of.
I'm close to opening my door and stepping out into the hallway ...

Their ignorance is very unprofessional and they should be called out for it and hopefully educated to the harm they cause with that type of conduct.

It is unfortunate so much mental health crisis falls to cops. There must be a better way.

Sorry about what your going thru but come on. U have no clue what is going on over there. U are listening on a convo not meant for u. Its unproffessional that they are saying these things in a public space where u heard them, but let them be. They have to deal with crazy and dangerous mental health ppl 24/7, and u have no clue what went on prior to u listening in. They obviously are not trying to berate him in public, even if what they say in private is distastefull. Law enforcement suicide is high enuough and their life expectancy is way less than normal americans. Let them blow off steam in private, it sounds ridiculous to you but it is a very common coping mechanisim with cops, ems, nurses, coroners ect. Id hate for you too be judged by everything u said in private. I'm sorry, well no I'm not, but that's a load BS. I and my brothers all married medical professionals and that type of public behavior is grounds for dismissal and loss of license if done in public. Yes, I know the stress and the need to blow off steam but true professionals do so in private only with their closest and most trusted and never in a disrespectful manner to those less fortunate.

I don't think you no everything that went on before that person was brought to the hospital, maybe they are drunk or on some drug , maybe they are not mental , like you said they don't know that you are listening , to jump to the thought that the person is mental ? , my daughter has mental problems , sometimes it's drugs with her that pushes her over the edge ?, just my two cent , let it be

I am not even a little surprised. If you get a video you might get a supervisor to tell them to hide their immaturity.
Unfortunately theirs's is a common attitude. Its why so many mentally ill are homeless. Its why they often get shot by L.E. The mentally ill have few advocates. Unlike drug addicts they dont choose their illness but a childish attitude from the public is very common.

They're in an ER. They obviously have to know that there are other people in there. If they've ever been there before they know those rooms are not soundproof. It doesn't matter why that person was brought in. There is no reason to denigrate, humiliate, and make fun of a person who is having a medical emergency.
I just read my wife, who has been an ED nurse for over 30 years the OP and her first words were... They need reported. No 2 ways around it... Report them. At the very least file a complaint with the hospital about the cops behavior. But she said to report it directly to the head honcho at the cop shop. She did say the only thing to be thankful for is that the cops stayed there. Too often they bring in a patient having a mental break and get them settled and then leave. She also said...While there is no reason for them to humiliate the person in front of them, you also don't know what led up to the person being brought in. It could just be them blowing off a little steam.
KJ probably can attest to this. ED, EMS, and LEO personnel have a twisted sense of humor. They have to, to deal with the stuff they see everyday. Get a few of them together, put your seatbelt on it's gonna be a wild ride.

In public yes not right....but read the origonal post, origonal poster said they dont know anyone is listening. Not acceptable in public but they are saying what they think in Private and was overheard by op. Trust me most leo's trust each other with their lives No ti said they didn't know I was there listening..and he was loud as I said..i wasn't thw only one here. There was 5 other patients right beside the man in the ER. As well as 2 doctors .3 ambulance guys and.3 or 4 nurses and they all heard. Most laughed and they continued to laugh about him after he waa given a shot to calm him down. When I was outside getting some rest air another lady who was here with her husband for chest pains.asked me if id heard what happened and expressed her concern and dislike for what had happened as well

If you've never made fun of anyone, turn them in. They'll likely lose their job in the current environment. A bit of a tongue lashing from you may be more effective, without someone losing their job over their immaturity. Praying for your daughter.
