911 call/commentary:
Edit:
Nurse Redditors Rise Up with righteous indignation.. to lick the boot:

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.

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.

I think we should put psych patients in Canada and be done with it.

Psych wards have always been this way, it's the reason most of the asylums were closed in the first place.
