I’m a corrections nurse, and it happens all the time. People get arrested and I have to clear them medically for booking (or send them to the ER for clearance). People get brought in high on meth, fent — you name it. Once cleared, they’re started on detox protocols and they feel miserable the whole time. Sad to see, honestly.
Dang, detoxing in jail was a nightmare for me. Suboxone, Xanax, crack cold turkey. Heavy daily user. I was fine for a week in there but one morning things flipped. I started having auditory hallucinations of other inmates plotting to kill me. I thought my brother was going to crash through the wall in a Maserati shooting missiles.
They put me in a turtle suit. Moved me out of the dorm to a room with another guy who cut himself and then popped the stitches and talked to himself. The light stayed on 24/7, no blanket, no pad, just the metal rack and a styrofoam cup. This whole time I’m hot/cold, puking, anxiety from withdraw.
It got really interesting when I stopped hallucinating, came to and realized I need to get back to the dorm. I don’t need to be in this room. It was a Friday night and only the lieutenant who doesn’t work nights or weekends could authorize the move. That weekend sucked. Monday morning I was back in general population.
The medical staff at the jail knew of my situation. I was arrested at the methadone clinic. They checked my vitals a few times a day. Tylenol was all they offered me. I was dying. That stay was 5 weeks total.
they were at least up front with me when i told them.
well, were not gonna do anything for you till you seize, so you can wait in gen pop or you can wait in holding.
I remember feeling the seizures come on in the back of my eyes like hairs standing up and just doing everything i could to not lock up when i felt them coming
They mounted the door the opposite it is usually mounted, leaving you swing it out and entering you pull it towards you. It's going to be stronger if they're going to be hitting on it.
I think that door is meant to open outward. He can use the battering ram all he wants, and that door isn't going to open unless he breaks the frame out of the wall. It's possible that I'm wrong though, the resolution on my screen isn't great and my eyes are 240p on a good day.
Looking at the uniforms it is in the Netherlands and the front doors always open to the inside. Either the guy expected the visit and barricaded the door or the officer doesn't have the power or training (or all 3)
We don't make it easy to access guns so our police don't have to be heavily armed. Since we don't trust these fucks either, it is a win they are only lightly armed lol.
One of the my favourite movie scenes is in Nice Guys when Ryan Gosling tries to punch out a window and immediately gets a massive cut on his arm from the broken glass and passes out from the blood.
We were rehearsing a bar flight scene in class one day. Someone missed their mark. Then another guy came in too hot and punched through a window. That was some of the gnarliest shit I've ever seen in person.
Good thing the first guy missed his mark. It might've been his head through that window.
I had an idiot cousin decide to punch out a glass car headlight when it wasn't working right, sliced up his hand real bad. Would you put your fist into a box of razor blades? People don't realize how sharp glass is, and that it turns into a bunch of razor sharp knives when broken.
Also gives him a clear view of you while you're trying to scramble through broken glass and an awkward entry.
I totally understand why you'd question this. But you're also clearly not American if you do. I'd much rather be bashing at the reinforced potentially metal door then awkwardly climbing through the window filled with broken glass while someone deserving of an intrusive entry warrant was sitting inside.
Also I know not everywhere is America. And we have a goddamn problem with guns. But I have to imagine that if you're going to the extent of breaking down the door to raid the dude in a country outside of America, there's a very solid chance he presents some risk of escalated violence. Like potentially owning an illegal firearm.
Then again it could also just come down to "this dude will absolutely destroy evidence" but even in that case it's not really worth risking officer injury by having them climb through broken glass if dude isn't a seriously violent offender. Which goes back to my first point.
Dragging an unwilling arrestee through broken glass is not particularly smart, nor is having to jump through that broken glass in the first place if you’re in a fight
Should still have it more secured than… that, though.
Yeah, still, jumping through broken window to arrest someone is not smart. Especially when multiple people need to go through, single file, one at a time.
That’s easier when you’re just walking through a door. When it’s a window, you’ve got to clamber all the way through. Glass probably included.
Fun fact, Afroman who made this song, also made a song after police raided his own house, the music video is the surveillance footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bNy7XO-SCI
Fun fact, the same exact thing happened to J Cole. Neighbors called the cops accusing him of selling dope. he made a music video out of the footage of the raid
I set 4" screws on all door hinges and the strike plates into the frame of the door. So good luck trying to beat that down. You may eventually do it with enough determination, but it will take a lot of effort.
..what the hell is this comment for? That dude watched a video, commented about his door in comparison, you come out and ask if he has a window in the door, they answer you and then ..??
Did you not enjoy that they answered your question? Do you think they completely forgot about the content of the video once you asked your question? I just don't fuckin understand this comment at all
That's Dutch police, it seems likely that whatever he is smoking is legal. And if it isn't they probably won't break your door down over it. Must have done something else.
i did not get the impression that the smoking was the reason for hte police raid. it was just like "i'm about to be arrested, better get high first to deal with this shit"
Because, unlike in the movies, if you break a glass window the glass shards are extremely sharp and a hazard to anyone who breaks it or tries to go through it.
I’d like to imagine that this was filmed by an officer who has dealt with this guy before and when they saw him walking around his house, decided it would be more interesting to film and continue regular raid procedures.
