There are always a few bad one's in every occupation..When I was a nurse at the hospital, the police brought in a young man in handcuffs...One guy cuffed him to the side rail of the bed. The cuff was so tight the kids wrist was deep red..I told the cop to loosen the cuffs a little as they were cutting circulation. (I was the nurse that had the job of admitting him to the hospital). He looked at me and said "I'm not loosening any damn cuffs". I smiled at him and said OK I will chart that you were asked to loosen the cuffs and refused I will also describe the condition of the patients wrists...(nurse's notes in a patient chart are considered legal documents)

The cop got pissed but loosen the cuff so that they were not digging into the kids wrists...

He was an ass but not stupid....:O)

“There are always a few bad one’s in every occupation..”

Normally I would agree with that, but there are no, none zip, nada cops that aren’t complete tools.
