shite like this has ALWAYS been part of police, fire, EMS, hospital staff and other such professions. It is commonly referred to as "gallows humor" and comes from seeing the bottom rung of society and horrible things each and every day. I am not sure anyone has ever been able to show a direct correlation between these types of humor and actions on the job. That being said, telling a joke and being overheard was one thing. Social media has completely changed the game.
If I was a police chief, I would seriously look at telling my officers that it was policy to not have social media.

As a medical professional, no, this is not gallows humor.
