Police decide to drop all further action

Seems someone sensible stepped in. Hopefully the officer who precipitated this nonsense is disciplined.

Def needs a talking to. Even if it's a just a why did this upset you so much? You know it's part of the job. If you can't deal with that it's not the field for you.

I mean I don't think 'abuse' should be part of any job but that hardly qualifies.

They’re having problems retaining younger officers, largely because they’re not resilient enough.

I’ve seen young teachers overreact to stuff in the same way. They’ve grown up being told that the worst thing that can happen to you is to be teased and namecalled, thanks to ridiculously over the top anti bullying measures in schools, and they don’t know how to just let things slide off them.

The flip side of this was demonstrated to me when I watched one headmistress I worked for (at my favourite school) stand stony faced as a mother screamed at her with her nose practically touching. The head just waited until the woman had tired herself out and remained calm and in control the whole time. It was a sight to behold, the epitome of self control and confidence.

How are they this upset?

I mean I work for a council, there's a lot of people who chuck abuse at you for not doing something fast enough. I've been called a retarded jobsworth once for someone not getting a repair done fast enough (not my area, I'm just making sure it goes through on the system and I can see that it's currently with the contractor I don't control how quickly the contractor gets there mate) if you work in a public facing role people are going to be rude. It's not really that bad, they're just frustrated that they feel things aren't being done fast enough. I get it. Would still prefer they stayed polite but I may as well ask for a serious pay rise as the likelihood of both is close to nil lol.

Same for the teachers. Kids can be little shits, it's part of the job to deal with that and getting mad at them is just going to make them do it more in the future. I respect the hell out of that headteacher though, that's what's needed. Some parents are absolutely nuts. If you do anything there you can easily escalate it into an incident. It's a valuable life skill and these people lacking it is doing them a huge disservice.
