First off, as I’ve pointed out before, when she said “Fuck!” the first time, as far as she was aware, no one could hear her, it was merely an expression of frustration. When the officer answers, she asks for an ambulance in a rather polite and straight-forward way, at which point he tells her off and hangs up on her. Her language before that point was not “abusive”, since it was not intended or expected to be heard by anyone!

Secondly, after telling her not to use foul language, the cop uses foul and DELIBERATELY abusive language toward her. Now who is more in the wrong here, a frustrated teen who is being refused help for her father because she was overheard expressing her frustration through foul language, or the so-called professional who was refusing to do his job, refusing medical attention to someone and verbally abusing a teen girl because he happened to overhear her use a single foul word?

As angry as she was, after the first call, she should’ve realised that it wasn’t her situation that caused the officer to refuse assistance, but the abusive language she used.

People who don’t have enough consideration to not pollute conversations with foul language should learn that not everyone appreciates being cussed at. It’s abusive, it’s demeaning and it’s uncalled for in any situation. There are so many other ways to express frustration, desperation and anger without verbally abusing other people.

For every truly intelligent human being, like many who comment here, there are ten ignorant human beings bashing each of them in rootless anger and childishness.

This is how it has always been and how it always will be. Darwin will someday win his namesake.

it’s completely understandable for someone to use profane language to express themselves especially in times of extreme stress. he should’ve been reprimanded severely.

now, once the ambulance and police arrived and it was found out that nothing was wrong, then the appropriate steps should’ve been taken to insure it didn’t happen again.

there are certain steps to be taken in a certain order to be able to ascertain the truth. just because she’s called 911 in the past for false things does not give anyone the right to refuse her any help.

a 20 year police veteran with the training and commendations he’s had should’ve handled the situation better.

Kylie, I’m taking your route, ignoring him from now on.

Later, loser. No donut.

It still stands true that you’re willing to be a thug, using the power of the state to abuse people, by equating dissent with your opinion as a psychiatric disorder.
