Yeah right, classic police not wanting to do their job. Probably scared of a bit of paperwork.
Bloody hell, staff holding doors against a violent patient and cops just watch? What a load of crap.
exactly! nurses are heroes and this is how they get treated
tbh police are understaffed and undertrained for mental health stuff. But still, can't just stand there.
oh shut up with the 'understaffed' excuse. they took an oath.
as if our mental health system isn't already crumbling. nurses deserve medals honestly

facts. nothing ever changes in this country.
ffs this is why people are afraid to ask for help. Hospital staff getting left to cop it.
lol union will spin this as 'complex situation' watch
Wait so the cops just stood there? That's insane. They need to be held accountable.
get stuffed. cops need to front up.
Accountable? Ha. Police union will protect them. Meanwhile nurses get assaulted daily.
but like what could police actually do? restrain a patient and risk lawsuit?
honestly not surprised. cops are cops. they don't give a shit until someone dies.
Yep. And then there'll be a coroner's report full of 'lessons learned' and nothing changes.
mate you're part of the problem with that attitude
