He is making the environment less safe for you and your clients by his inappropriate, harassing behavior.<BR/><BR/>Another comment--I often used to think of myself as causing trouble, or whining, if I am pointing out something negative. What can I say--I was socialized to be a people pleaser. In certain cases it's helped me to start thinking about stepping up as a safety issue. It's okay to express directly to an officer that his comments are inappropriate and unhelpful. Not easy, given the power of the police, but important to do. Often I've found assertiveness--and it's not whining--is my first line of defense as a social worker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887701053197945139.post-53729045429491544142008-08-08T11:27:00.000-05:002008-08-08T11:27:00.000-05:00:( ugh that's really really awful.

That really stinks big time. I would create such a fuss if any policeman acted in that way. It is beyond unacceptable, I'd say it's verging on the criminal. <BR/><BR/>Wow, I'm still angry.. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887701053197945139.post-61032447096189734112008-08-07T13:47:00.000-05:002008-08-07T13:47:00.000-05:00Umm, yikes.

I'm only going to comment on the police aspect of this, as that seems to be the pertinent part. <BR/><BR/>Have you considered filing a complaint with the police department? I would definitely think from the description that both you AND the "IDPA" were harassed.<BR/><BR/>That's absolutely unacceptable.antiSWerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500867187473208284noreply@blogger.com
