Rush hour Rambo cops not knowing shit about actual law, taking the law into their own hands. This is a perfect example of why I have no respect for law enforcement, because this is more often than not the prevalent mindset of most cops I’ve encountered. They don’t know jack shit about actual statutes, and they’re a…

They also pulled her off the floor jeopardising the wellbeing of other innocent patients. Seriously fucked up.

If she’s an ER nurse she’s dealt with much bigger assholes than even this cop, I can guarantee you that much. Even as a physician I’ve had to deal with lunatics getting physical and ER nurses deal with a lot more loonies than I do.

Buck private US Marines know they don’t have to follow illegal orders, but an experienced middle aged detective doesn’t?

The thing is, this happened in an ER.

At the very least, the truck driver might have had a case to sue the city for continuing a high speed pursuit in a populated area. If the driver had amphetamine in his system, regardless of who was clearly at fault, it would have been very unlikely he could have won his case. Think about it. The defense for the city…

To punish the department that did this. Yeah, this comes out of taxpayer money, but I guarantee you that it’s a big hit to the police department and it will help make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Hospital policy was written to match the law. An officer taking a blood sample forcefully without a warrant or cause is considered assault.

She was also a charge nurse I believe, so the arrest greatly disrupted the treatment of other patients in the ER at the time.

As he should be. Too bad this happened in July and this is just happening now way after the fact.

There’s a GoFundMe account if anyone is interested in helping the truck driver and his family. I’m sure they need it.

Of the two, I’m going to guess being a burn nurse is a hell of a lot harder. Remarkable woman, all around.

I’m sure the video hadn’t yet been widely viewed, so the slam dunk nature of the situation wasn’t so obvious. Besides, every bit of enemy intelligence helps (don’t forget, if you’re not the police you’re the enemy).

She can’t sure a police officer directly. They are protected from this by law.

I got this advice from a lawyer, who was a former police chief, and I wish I had followed it before that otherwise I would not have had to seek that lawyer’s services in the first place.

Part of the perversity of law enforcement.

Never cooperate with cops. Even if you think you have nothing to hide.

They will continue to get the benefit of the doubt.

I thought for a second I was watching the end of The Road Warrior.
