We do it at hospitals and we are doing it with old ladies on the team. Why can't cops be as tough as nurses?
We have had a boxer recently, a mma fighter, cops, bikers, and we've never killed anyone or even had to sit on them like that. In our dementia unit we have old a veterans who are throwing down who knows what they think is happening they just square up.
And we are able to move them into a Room strapped their arms and feet to a bed and give them shots of medication without breaking the needles.
Sometimes we get the shit beat out of us. Cops seem like they are fragile or something. One of my interns was punched so hard in a therapy group that she landed outside of her shoes.
Why can't we have cops as tough as nurses and social workers?
Maybe send them to the military for a few years to improve their thresholds.
The police don’t have proper training. It’s sad. Before my deployment I went on 2 TDYs in CQC(close quarters combat), and they bash the whole shoot-no shoot scenarios at you. It’s a reality check when you walk around a corner in a stressful environment and there is a “fake terrorist” target on the wall and you shoot him, just to get told later that it was a 12 year old boy with a phone in his hand. Of course after a while of practice you get comfortable and handle the situations a lot better. The police force to my knowledge doesn’t get that type of training, it shows. If they do, they clearly need more practice at it
