This was a first for me

[Mangoat]

Just had someone from another agency go off on me during an incident. Dude had all his info wrong and of all things he went off on me full force in front of many civilian witnesses.

I just stood there with a WTF look on my face.

Those folks came up to me later and were like "what a fuckin asshole"

Wait till I have a word with his supervisor.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Sounds like you held your mud. If you didn't escalate things, you're the winner in the end.

It's not professional:| I'd talk to a supervisor, too.

I would have to know more details before making a judgement. Your initial statement is pretty vague.

[stunna]

damn, i woulda put him down! lol....was he bigger than you? just kidding. but kudos to you for keepin cool

Without going into so much detail. I was on scene for about a half a minute before this guy showed up. Now for me and my guys to be called it is a very serious call.

Turns out there was another U/C unit who saw the whole thing and vouched for me.

Really my whole thing is about professionalism and who and what you represent. As well as what you show towards the public. This type of behavior towards a fellow officer in front of the public shows that we cannot work as a team who took that oath to protect the public. This incident could have easily been handled away from public ears and view.

That's all. I already confronted him and said what I needed to say. Hopefully he takes it to heart or else he is in for a long career.

I have a bunch of friends and relatives who are LEO in Arizona. It always amazed me how little respect the various agencies gave each other. At one point one agency considered any contact between their officers and officers from a certain other agency to be dangerous enough that supervisors were asked to run code three to any scene where the the two agencies were in contact!

That woulnd't be PANT v.s. Yavapai Tribal Police(or anyone else) would it?...

Upon further consideration... I don't need to know the details to know that this guy was in the wrong. (Or, at least wrong in his handling of it). Throwing a hissy fit at a fellow LEO, in view of the public, is immature, unprofessional and stupid, regardless of circumstances.

Sounds like you handled it well. I probably would not have kept my cool quite as much. I try to be a nice guy until people start really getting in my face, at which point I become... not so nice.

From you avatar and having "Your guys” called out I can only assume what specialty you do. I would say if he wants to be a dick just pack up your guys and take you ball and go home; let him handle it. :laughing
