You’re mostly using examples of people who do not work in high-stress or life threatening/dependent situations. A cashier at Wal-Mart or a waitress at Olive Garden or a postal worker aren’t trained to save someone’s life. They aren’t there to dispatch rescue services.

It sounds as though you have an vendetta against profanity, but no regard for someone’s life being in danger. If the girl used profanity, big deal. She wasn’t calling him names. If anything, the police officer was calling HER names and berating her.

I don’t understand your sensitivity toward the language considering the situation the girl was in. If she was prank calling 911, it would be different.

If I saw my dad convulsing on the floor, I wouldn’t be concerned about my language either.

A crusade to end profanity doesn’t need to start during a life altering/life threatening situation and it’s not the cop’s job to give her lessons on politeness.

A crusade to end profanity ...

Nothing of the sort. You want to listen to trash, knock yourself out. You want to swear at home, curse your spouse, God, anything? I don't care. Watch any movie you like, listen to rap, go and invent a whole new litany of profanity, I don't care.

When you start to demand that I, or anyone else, HAS TO LISTEN TO IT, then we disagree.
