Disclaimer: I really do get along with the LEO's I work with. They are great guys, for the most part. They just are too lazy to do their job.
I swear, I think we got the two laziest cops on the force last night! We were dispatched for an unconscious person at one of the local trailer parks.
We show up, and this 20 yo girl is laying face down in the middle of the living room, refusing to talk to anyone. Husband and mom are both there. Husband is relatively helpful in gathering info. Mom is a major PITA. She repeatedly tells us that she is an NP at one of the local ERs and thinks she knows better than us how to do our job.
We roll the girl over to check her out better and all hell breaks loose. She begins kicking, hitting, spitting, biting, yelling, and screaming. All of it is completely melodramatic and over the top. She manages to spit on one of the engine guys, and scratches his arm with her nails.
She admits to drinking, is underage, and wants us to believe she took a bunch of her medications. Only problem there is that they were filled just a couple days ago and have an appropriate number of pills in the bottle.
One of the guys runs out to the bus and gets the flexi-cuffs to put on her and the rest of the guys wrestle her to the cot, get her strapped down, and slap a NRB on her to prevent us from getting spit on.
And what are the cops doing during all of this? Not a damn thing!!! They just stand there, don't lift a finger, and say there isn't anything they can do about the situation. Our officer tells them they need to at least ID her, but he wants her arrested for assaulting his guys. The cops refuse, say all they can charge her with is consumption by a minor, and they aren't going to do it. Officer tells them that he will contact his boss if they don't get their thumbs out of their asses and points out that she has assaulted one of his guys. The cops reply? "Well, she is delusional and doesn't know what she is doing, so our hands are tied." Bull:censored::censored::censored::censored:!!!! It was blatantly apparent to all of us that she knew exactly what she was doing.
Eventually the cops start insisting that she has to go to the county hospital instead of the hospital of her choice and even follow us downtown. The only time they do this is if the patient is in custody.
We get to the hospital, head for lockup, thinking they had finally arrested her and are shocked to find out that we are wrong. As far as the cop was concerned, it was as "assist medical personel" run.
We head back to triage, and then to her bed. The patient promptly calls on of the hospital security/special deputies a socially unacceptable word for a black person and is promptly arrested by him. Back to detention we go.
It isn't until this point that our officer who had followed us in to the hospital decides that he might as well go ahead and do some paperwork, charging her with consumption by a minor, and a "few other things".
This girl tried to beat the crap out of us, one of our guys had to fill out exposure paperwork and go to occ health, three of us were spit on, I am not sure how many people she hit, kicked, bit, or clawed, and our local officer only finally did anything because the hospital was going to and he was forced to cover his ***!
How lazy can he be? Seriously, how long does it take to fill out the arrest paperwork? Nice to know you've got our back when we need you, bud!
