Hezzy posted:If you were caught using the word "human being" over here you'd probably be sacked. It's a no go. Disgusting word. Retard isn't good either. I don't like the word either, but I can't really see cops not swearing. In a public encounter, yeah, speak professionally, but I don't see it going anywhere.

I can't stand "human being" either. It bugs the poo poo out of me to hear it at work and I've brought it up with a few of the guys. I say gently caress and poo poo all the time but not in front of the public Edit: hahahaha as I was typing this one of my teammates called a guy a loving retard on the radio

the only time swearing is acceptable is on a felony stop otherwise try to be nice. Definitely don't call someone a human being in america.

Hezzy posted:It really is not hard. This. Recordings of cops who use a lot of casual profanity always make me cringe because it sounds so unprofessional and stupid. Most adults have to curb their profanity at work, no one respects a teacher or doctor who regularly curses on the job, of course the same should hold for police. That being said I had a close call when we were responding to a suicide threat at a residence. The porch we were standing on collapsed and as I was falling I let out an "OH SHIII.. [aaah no don't say poo poo!!! Use a different word!] OOOooo... [wait saying 'shoot' around a suicidal person with a gun is worse, shut your mouth!] ooo..nrrggfh." *muffled grunt as I hit the ground* My FTO came over and was like "Just say 'poo poo' next time, ya nerd".

P sure using human being at work would get you in a lot of trouble, mainly because most of the openly gay guys are work are about 6 foot tall and practice MMA. ... the only twink is the resident gun buff and pistol expert edit: I swear like a loving sailor at work though, just not in public

There is a time and a place for swearing at work. Many of the people I interact with both general public and suspects swear a lot. It is just part of their vocabulary. Swearing can also have effect as tactical communication to get a point across. I don't use it inappropriately and as a consequence hope to be free from complaint. Hopefully.

I generally try and keep the cursing the a minimum, but if a person I'm dealing with continuously drops F-Bombs I'm going to drop a few myself. Don't tell me to gently caress off and no expect it right back. Besides, treat people how you want to be treated, and definitely don't expect a cursing complaint to go anywhere if you just used every one in the book at the officer first. e/ gently caress Off.

Just so happens mine at work respond best to more direct conversation. Tactical communication and all that. I think it can even break barriers a bit. If I talk very formal and polite there's a good chance theyd percieve me to be taking the piss and be upset. If I move area of work I'll certainly have to retrain my go to vocab.

Well yeah, know your audience and don't be super formal (because "Pardon me, sir, so sorry to bother you but may I please arrest you?" does not work on anyone). Can't really see how someone can't relate to people without resorting to obscenities but I dunno, maybe it does depend on your area. And possibly your gender... my Disappointed Schoolteacher and Formidable Grandma language might not go over as well for a lot of you guys.

I realise there looks to be two different departments there but still that's a poo poo load of people for one guy Pilot to Gunner posted:Well yeah, know your audience and don't be super formal (because "Pardon me, sir, so sorry to bother you but may I please arrest you?" does not work on anyone). I understand the need to tailor language to the audience but IMO that doesn't mean you should stoop to their level. It's very hypocritical seeing as over here it is actually an offence to swear in public near to somebody who is likely to be offended by it. If I'm telling somebody off or giving them a good grilling I will occasionally use words like "Idiot" "Buffoon" and more recently "Cretin" but that's as blue as I get. I've got my mock promotion exam tomorrow. Exciting times Hezzy fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Dec 1, 2014 |

They probably had extra cars out because of the COPS crew. But really we are just incredibly bored and looking for any reason to get to shoot someone.
