Watching this video was sickening but a true testimony to the need for bodycams so stories like these come to light. Watching that detective abuse his authority with practiced ease shows it wasn’t the first time he did this to an innocent citizen. He cuffed he and sat her in his car to show what he could do if she…

I hope the hospital, accosted nurse, and crash victim are able to successfully sue the living shit out of all found to bear any responsibility in this.

Some of the best women in my life have been nurses. Watching this video makes me sick. The officer shouldn’t just be fired, he should be arrested for assault and false imprisonment.

As an ICU nurse I feel like we are there to protect and serve the patient. We are often the last line of defense. I am so proud of her for not only trying to maintain that protection but also not going away quietly. I was angry and tearful looking at this video and seeing what she went through as a trained burn nurse…

Further into the video after she is in the car, another cop who I assume is a supervisor is explaining to the nurse how its no big deal if the cops break the law and take the blood illegally, that there are civil remedies for afterwards that will fix the situation, that if the cops broke the law anything that comes…

Tell your sister “thank you” for the work she is doing from me. I have the highest respect for nurses and think they should be paid tons more.

“after refusing to violate hospital policy”

What we’re seeing here is essentially the law enforcement version of “affluenza”. Now that we have 2 derelict leaders (Trump/Sessions) providing agencies across the land with unparalleled senses of entitlement and shown little real consequence for bad actors, it’s inevitable that more and more LEOs will embrace their…

Jesus - when she sobs ‘why is he so angry’ is heartbreaking. His hands are actually on her and no one around her is able to stop him. She’s totally vulnerable, he’s unstable and everyone is helpless to prevent him from forcing her into his car. How absolutely terrifying.

My sister is a nurse practitioner. Her job is very difficult, stressful and at the same time she finds it rewarding because she saves children’s lives every day. I cannot express how angry this story makes me and I only wish his firing is the least of the repercussions he will face.

ITA, this and The Shining are guaranteed to either give me nightmares or keep me from sleeping at all.

Same here. Although certainly scary I think I’m not as scared of this Pennywise because Tim Curry was the ultimate shit my pants scary clown when I was a kid. He had a knack in that movie from going to friendly looking to completely horrifying in seconds.

I AM NOT OK WITH THIS REVIVAL OF IT.

I know this sounds so awful but it is like you have to train a person like a dog. I have done this before to my family. If they start talking racist/homophobic shit then I tell them that I do not want to hear and if they want me to go to lunch/dinner/family gathering then they need to not talk like that or I will get…

People tell me all the time to reconcile with my mother.

Yep! We no longer have a relationship with my husband’s mother because of this exact situation. When one little thing didn’t go her way, she unleashed holy hell on us, and said things to my husband (and me) that can never be taken back.

This. Last time I went on a big family vacation, I got my own place to stay and took time out for myself and my husband when we needed it. Then of course we got tons of passive aggressive comments about how we were “missing” or not participating (we were with them 75% of the time). You literally can’t win.

I grew up watching my father treat my mother with little respect and belittling her frequently. It was literally decades before I overcame that socialization and realized that she’s not lame, but actually a way better and stronger person than my father ever was.

BB, if your mom is anything like mine (which I’m thinking is the case), she’s created a “perfect-scenario-vacation” ALL in her mind to which you will never live up to and will “ruin” in some way or another. The expectations from you will be unachievable because they are fathoms of your mother’s imagination. If you can…

1. As the child of a father and mother who tore everyone around them down to try to build themselves up, get him the fuck out of the picture. Period. It does NOT make for a happier child having poison around.
