I have been spit on many times. Many times. The worst that I ever saw was my first Super Bowl Sunday night. A guy beat up his gf and we arrested him. He then kicked out our window and we extracted him from the vehicle. From the glass, he had cuts on his face. I had cuts as well. We took him to the hospital where he proceeded to bite his lip and got a mouthful of blood. He then spit in an officers face. I will say that he did not need to bite his lip to get blood after that.
another incident, a crackwhore who had just stabbed someone, was in custody. She also had a bloody lip from her fight with the victim. She spit a bloody hocker right into an officer’s eye. She was hiv and hep c positive. Luckily, he was fine. But this is always the risk of someone spitting in your face.
I was surprised that I did not lose my shit when it happened to me. Ok, not really because I am pretty chill, but the person was taken down and arrested and charged with battery on an officer. It was the second offense for one guy(which is a felony), who could have faced life in prison. I actually told the prosecutor that I did not want that. He still got about five years, but that was with the other charges, which were felonies as well. But if you spit in someone’s face, you should expect to get your ass kicked. Or with a cop, you should not be expected to be treated gently. I am always. And I mean always professional, but I would rather be punched than spit on.
