Gj op guys who even defending the perp is just stupid. You did the right thing

If I was that guy, I would have shook your hand after you escorted me off the property. It sucks some people just don't have common sense.

A local hospital has hospital police, they drive nice jeeps equipped with the lights, markings an all the jazz.

Yea, he gets spat on so he does this "I threw the guy back out of the cruiser onto the cement and rammed my knee into his back extremely hard as I applied a spit mask. He started yelling shit like "You fucken pigs always abusing your power". I felt bad for doing that and I'm an extremely non-violent person, but I finally had it with this guy."...are you all really this blind? This guy is saying hes a non violent person, yet he rams his knees into backs of people and applies "spit masks." I'd say the dealer was wrong at first, but you went overboard.

Everyone opposing this man/woman's decisions on how they handled the situation is completely misguided, If anything OP handled the situation better than most people would.

Today I arrested a marijuana dealer today, but I feel like it was totally justified. First off, I'm not a cop, but I'm not a security either. My job title sits sorta somewhere in between. Best way to explain it is a hospital officer. I can make arrest on warrants, carry weapons/handcuffs, have a cruiser, pretty much exactly exactly what a police officer does but just restricted to a hospital. We still report to the main police branch in my city. There is an exact name for my job title, but due to identification reasons I'd rather not say because only a few cities have officers working in hospitals. The tests I had to go through were less vigorous which resulted in me never getting drug tested.

For the past couple months or so, some of the patients in the psychiatric units were getting ahold of marijuana. These units consist of people diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression (suicidal), etc. Weed was having extremely negative effects on the patients, especially when combined with their meds. It made psychosis states get insane to the point where one patient smashed his head through a shatter proof window and almost died. Depressed people were using it as a crutch and brought out underlying anxiety issues which meant more meds.

I've been investigating for months interviewing patients (which I get along with most of great and have huge respect for them), and finally honed it down one suspect who was identified by multiple patients willingly. He was an outside guy with no mental illness who constantly visited the units and smuggled in drugs. It's super easy to do because visitors are not searched on entry, and stuff like cigarettes always gets brought to patients.

I put a red flag next to the visitors name so I get a notification when he checks in on the computers to visit the psych unit. Today the dispatch center got the red flag notification and I got dispatched to the unit and pulled the guy aside. One perk I get working in a hospital more than regular police officers is I can conduct a search without a warrant. I got the visitor to stand with legs spread and hands on the wall as I went through his backpack. Stupid me should have patted down his body too but got distracted by finally figuring out who the idiot dealer was. There was bags of weed in his backpack. Due to nurses and staff being around, I had to seize the weed for a short while until they were not around so I could return it to the guy, just to cover my ass.

I pretty much told him exactly what was happening. It was making mental illnesses worse which made it an unsafe environment for staff, patients, visitors and myself. I explained how I am totally fine with marijuana, it's just selfish taking advantage of patients to make some money off in exchange for their health. I issued a trespass act notice (Can't return in 2 years unless as a patient) and told him I will return his "property" once off property after I escort him off.

This guy was so ignorant and totally flipped out causing this huge tough guy scene calling me a pig and said "I have a gun on me and I will kill you" while pointing at his waist. I drew my firearm as first reaction, not only to make myself safe but everyone else (also a few kids visiting patients on the unit) safe as well. I instructed him to put his hands on his head and brought him to the ground. I patted down his body and pulled out a large hunting knife from his waist. He had no gun but the knife was enough to make an arrest for. I applied handcuffs and escorted him to my cruiser. During all this he was yelling and screaming saying stuff like "Fucken pig, I hope you and your family die, I'll find and kill all of you". I threw him into the back of my cruiser explained his charges, reason for arrest and his rights. Then I explained to him how things could have gone differently if he didn't act like a prick, he would have got his weed back and not been slammed with charges and possible jail time. Nothing seemed to register this guys head, then he spit at me, which unfortunately seems to be my trigger point because that's the ultimate form of low in my opinion. I threw the guy back out of the cruiser onto the cement and rammed my knee into his back extremely hard as I applied a spit mask. He started yelling shit like "You fucken pigs always abusing your power". I felt bad for doing that and I'm an extremely non-violent person, but I finally had it with this guy.

I took him down to the station and filled out the paper work placing as many charges as possible. The number of charges reflects the judges opinion for the punishment, and I felt this guy needed to serve some sort of jail time away from the public. I finished up and put the knife and weed into evidence lockup, dropped my gear off at my locker back at the hospital and headed home. I had a couple bowls and now I'm watching South Park on Netflix as I type this.

TLDR: Idiot selling weed to psych patients, arrested him with my firearm drawn due to threats of bodily harm with an illegal weapon. Handcuffed, got spit at, abused my power a bit, got home, smoked two bowls, watched South Park as I made this thread.

You did more than you had to to help the guy out and instead of being smart his dumb ass went and got himself arrested.. Don't be surprised it you get served papers in the near future.
