Yep, a screwup like that involving life and rest sure. Kick me out of my IT consulting and support profession for life. If my VPN kills someone I'm out, and I'll gladly quit if I'm not wanted on the job anymore. When I worked in retail it never mattered to me how bad my day was, I was always courteous, polite, and friendy to customers. Yeah, even cops. The cops that came in the store for radio equipment and such were never disrespectful to me, so I had no reason to treat them any different than any other customer.
Should this trooper be fired 4825the single of respect I did not come into this world hating cops. I used to like them, admire them, and look up to them. Hell, I used to want...
The point is a police officer taking calls is a very important position. If this officer didn't wnat to treat the general public with respect he should not be doing anything that brings him into contact with the general public, especially taking emergency calls. Gee, ya think Joe Schoe who's wife is about to die after being t-boned by a Mac truck is gonna be calm? You think he's not gonna want to know if anything the police can tell him, like when someone is going to arrive or if the police can find the truck if it was a hit and run? If a person does not want to help people by being courteous and friendly to them in their time of need, then find anotehr profession, because you sure as hell aren't being professional about your job if you aren't being respectful.
I don't see why anyone would call a polite, friendly, and courteous cop an "butt hole" or a "pig". I sure as heck wouldn't... That's just downright rude and disrespectful.
Take a good look at yourself...
