911 call/commentary:
Edit:
Nurse Redditors Rise Up with righteous indignation.. to lick the boot:
https://old.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/1jlvkwt/nurses_at_a_pediatric_psych_facility_in_kentucky/
On March 8th a juvenile psych unit was overrun by 15 of its patients. Staff were assaulted and had to fight for their lives. Barricaded themselves in the nurses station (apparently a room) and called 911. When police arrived they were told they could not enter due to "unauthorized weapons" being brought into the facility. 911 operator told the terrified caller they couldn't come. Absolutely insane. This is local to me you all…. I'm about to drive down there with a sign. I'm currently taking a break from the profession (over 2 years at this point) and I'm becoming more and more sure I'll never go back. I left after being assaulted by 2 patients… being frequently being mandated (16+ hour shifts) was making me consider leaving and the assaults were the final straw.

From the article, it sounds like hospital security sorted it out just fine without the police. The nurses maybe overreacted by calling 911 immediately.

From the thread.
Really it's just hospital admins trying to cover up violent incidents like this cause it's bad for metrics. It's an r-slured position, if everything was fine there the there wouldn't be a problem letting the cops in anyway.

Your hometown has only two psych nurses. One of the nurses seems organized, efficient, and has a properly proportioned head. The other is a trans woman with a gigantic unshrunk noggin. As a loony, which psych nurse do you go to?

Lol if they did that they'd be decried. "ICE is invading hospitals!" would be shouted from the roof tops and nurses would be going and on about evil LEOs are.
The nurses had to eat their own dog food, it happens. Next time maybe they'll tell security to let cops in

Honestly, a lot of these hospitals are poorly mismanaged. It's evident from the story where some thought that cops with guns couldn't be allowed in, but they actually could. Very poor communication. Government subsidies make them lackadaisical.

The r-slur sneeds about police not being ninjas that can take care of violent psychotic individuals with their bare hands, then when someone points out to him that cops in Europe have guns he whines about bad faith and that he was talking about American cops needing armaments of small armies despite the whole thing being about cops with handguns not being allowed into hospitals.

I guarantee that if society acquiesced to their demands for police to be supermen and had more stringent fitness requirements they would sperg out about fatphobia in policing or some bullshit.
Jump in the discussion.

They'd just sneed about having to pay police officers more because that's what it would take to get physically fit people with good hand to hand combat skills.
Getting such people with those skills and also training them to handle the occasional psychotic juvenile without weapons is insane, and there's not much reliable protocol for such scenarios to begin with.

Depends on the country and is heavily impacted by the country's rate of civilian gun ownership.
Regardless cops should be allowed to use bring their guns when dealing violent psychotic individuals.

I'm confused were wetbacks rioting in the psych ward about their immigration status and
de ACKgaua or what? How does a nurse telling an old ag workers not to worry about ICE fit into the picture here?
Also, a lot of hospitals, especially larger or specialized facilities (like neighbors with psych wards), have their own police forces or security teams with law enforcement powers, operating within a specific jurisdiction—Or they have the University Police department.

As far as I can tell the wetback thing is just our local chuds desperately trying to tie this together into some grand culture war narrative. They were probably in pro-Hamas Pakistani r*pe gangs too.

Right, the cops are going to go somewhere they've been explicitly told they aren't welcome to handle a task they're specifically not trained to deal with. Even if everything went well jobs would be lost. If someone got hurt or killed, there would be riots

The comments in this thread could not more exemplify that the R in rdrama stands for reddit. Reddit is all r-slurs/bots/NPCs/bottom rung of society, but yet users on here get quite emotional over their internet comments. If you can't show your best friend a post on rdrama, you probably shouldn't get emotional about it.
