tv series

[mocc 502]

i just got done watching a tv series on court tv
i think it was called life in prison or something
but here was the story
i guy was arrested and held in a cell
he was getting hostile becuase he needed his meds
the officer watching him took him to the nurse in the station
this guy was straight up eyeballing the officer the whole time
calling him names, threating his life, telling him how he was going to kill the officer, and trying anything he could do to get the officer to respond in a physical way

i was just wandering, does the police academy teach patience in these type of instances ? i have strong patience, but if someone was threating my life to my face i hope i would act in a way that didnt get me in trouble.

i was wandering if he will get anymore charges for the name calling and threatining of an officers life ?

this is one of the reasons i would like to be an officer, to get these type of guys off the street

i dont know if this is the right thread to post in, i would just like to hear what some of the officers here though and what would they do in this situation. did anyone see the episode that im talking about ?

thanks

You are not taught not to lose your cool, you just have to have that quality as a CO. You can always write him up, he might say he don't care, but he will when he is by himself. Patience and a cool head are two major things you need in Corrections.

These turds lip off all the time, but really, who cares...he is a turd. These dudes are the lowest form of life on the planet. Why the heck do I care what they think about me.

So I've been a CO in Vermont for about 5 months now after the academy and will be going to NY in a few weeks for their academy. I've learned to just laugh at it. They are usually drunk and dumb when they come in so just don't take it to heart. Also I believe that dude was put in a restraint chair after, but I'm not sure. I've been put in that thing for practicals and I'm certified to use it and it is no joke. They usually shut up when they are in there. It is a great tool.
