idk man, if i see my co-worker abuse their power over our patient and i dont do anything about it im a bad person. hell, i had a co-worker verbally scream at a patient in front of me some while back and i feel like i failed the pt by not reporting it. cops are known to do way worse shit and their co-workers become complicit.
