Security guards escorting patients out of the ER is a common occurrence.

ZSMICHAELOne fact not noted here is that besides criminals, we are dealing with seriously mentally ill people who may be actively hallucinating and NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Police and security are not trained to deal with these situations except through application of force.
Years ago I was in the security office of our local hospital which was small at the time. I asked why security was even needed. He said the doctors and nurses do not know how to jump a car or change a flat so I help with that. Fast forward twenty years, we have locked access doors with bullet proof glass, armed security etc. One solution is to have skilled psychologists in every ER. That will never happen. Hospitals would rather pay for armed security, its cheaper.
If you are interested Cook County in Chicago is a TOP trauma center. Gang bangers often return to the ER to finish the job. You get the picture.

Until she started to wind down her working hours, my wife pulled weekend shifts in the mental health wing of the local hospital, in addition to her private practice.
She was frequently called over to the medical side of the hospital for psych consults, usually for ER patients.

sjtillNever a good sign when you go behind the curtains and there is a cop; the patient is handcuffed to the gurney--holding a washbasin full of puke.

GWbikerWork in a state maximum security housing unit where inmates often throw cups of feces and urine at corrections officers.
In the past, we usually returned the "gifts" to said inmates or turned a fire hose onto the subject. Inmates usually got the message to stop this shit. (Pun intended)
Sadly this action by us was stopped by upper management.

RNshooterOne night, a guy was brought in for swallowing drugs that he was holding. SOP is to 1) keep in the ER to observe for a reaction and 2) give industrial laxatives to make him poop it out.
The cop usually waits outside the curtain while the patient has his explosive diarrhea on the bedside commode and then the cop has to go through the poop, by hand, looking for the balloon of drugs. The cops hate it.
Well, this guy must have noticed that he had passed the drugs into the commode. Game over, he knows that he's going to jail. So, he says to the cop on the other side of the curtain, "I'm done". He then picks up the bucket and when the cop pulls the curtain back, paints him with the whole thing.
He still went to jail

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken
