Two cops get into a fight, injuring a third in Wauwatosa...

And they got into a fight over a phone call?

WAUWATOSA, Wis. -
A sheriff's deputy was hospitalized and two others were suspended after a fight inside a children's court.

The argument started in the office that books juvenile prisoners at the Vel Phillips Children's Court Center in Wauwatosa, sources said.

Sources said a deputy became angry last week because another deputy did not transfer a call right away. The incident sparked an argument, and the angry deputy shoved or threw a chair at the other deputy, hitting a third deputy in the leg.

He said he wasn't surprised by the fight.

"Juvie Duty" is one of the worst jobs in a police department.

Hours and hours standing around, teenagers who are surly and/or over-cocky, constantly trying to bait the cops there.

Not to mention parents who cry and scream about their "little angels," or beat the kid right in front of cops and judges.

The stress levels would make a lot of people snap.
