Just curious how many departments out there just flat forbid you to curse in any form or fashion, even in situation where citizens, suspects are not listening to your instructions or orders?
How about high stress tactical situations?
Example might be you tell a group of subjects to back up, not follow you, their intoxicated and you finally say, "you better start moving or I'm going to start whoopin some ***".
Would your department discipline you for things of that nature??
I'm kinda doing a survey. Several Sergeants I've spoken to said they would not discipline anyone under such conditions, especially if it worked and no use of force followed, but even if that occurred no discipline.
I don't mean to suggest getting crazy with your mouth either. Not meaning to implie calling someone a MF or anything.
I guess to say if a little cursing get's complaince, is that better than a use of force??? Thanks all...............
