Now you imagine this- everyday you go to work , getting verbally and physically abused day in day out. Spat at, punched, kicked, have s hit thrown at you, called a pig C Year after year. You don't know how that would feel. You need to think about it more. How would you react to that??
if you can't handle it find another job.
The verbal abuse should just go straight over their head , but they're allowed and
required to take action to prevent physical assault.
Being spat on
is assault.
Go spit on the next cop you see and tell us what happens.
He said he had a good rapport with many of the young detainees because he took the time to get to know them, and as a result he was never spat on or attacked.

Dylan Voller a difficult child who assaulted students before Don Dale jailing, commission told
As a primary school student, Dylan Voller broke windows,
defecated in a classroom,
assaulted other students, spat on a teacher and tied socks around his neck, threatening self-harm, the NT Royal Commission into Youth Detention has heard.
A portrait was painted of a child with
serious behavioural difficultiesSeveral years later, after Mr Voller was suspended for
punching another student in the head the day after he returned from a three-day suspension for assaulting three other students in the playground, his school in Alice Springs decided it could no longer keep teaching him because of safety concerns for other students and staff.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-20/dylan-voller-a-very-difficult-student-nt-r... I'll go with what the guard said, if it's all the same to you, Gordy. He had worked at Don Dale since 2005. It is most likely he crossed paths with Dylan Voller, wouldn't you think?
He said he was never spat on or abused because he took the time to build a rapport.
He also said the culture of the place changed when the Department started hiring "muscle".
If you treat people like human beings, chances are they'll act like them. if you abuse them and treat them like animals, don't be surprised if they behave like them.
As every parent, school teacher, youth detention guard or anyone working with children should know.
