Nurse Roughed Up
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah nurse said she was scared to death when a police officer handcuffed and dragged her screaming from a hospital after she refused to allow blood to be drawn from an unconscious patient. After Alex Wubbels and her attorneys released dramatic video of the arrest, prosecutors called for a criminal investigation and Salt Lake City police put Detective Jeff Payne on paid leave Friday. "This cop bullied me. He bullied me to the utmost extreme," Wubbels said in an interview with The Associated Press. "And nobody stood in his way." The Salt Lake City police chief and mayor also apologized and changed department policies in line with the guidance Wubbels was following in the July 26 incident. Wubbels, a former alpine skier who competed in the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, said she adhered to her training and hospital protocols to protect the rights of a patient who could not speak for himself. |

Re: Nurse Roughed Up
Payne said he was responding from a request from the Logan Police Department — where Gray’s crash occurred ( 43-year-old William Gray, a reserve police officer in Rigby, Idaho, was severely injured in the ordeal, which took place July 26 at about 2 p.m. Gray, who drives trucks in his spare time, was behind the wheel of a semi truck in northern Utah when a suspect fleeing Utah Highway Patrol officers crashed into him head-on.)— to obtain the blood sample and find out if he had illegal substances in his system when the incident occurred. Fiery crash is here: https://www.documentingreality.com/f...e-ohio-177925/ In his report, Payne wrote that Wubbels’ “policies won’t allow (him) to obtain the blood sample without a warrant.” He wrote that he was advised by his lieutenant, James Tracy, to arrest Wubbels for interfering in the investigation if she continued her refusal. Excerpts of Payne’s bodycam were released by Salt Lake City police, and have been posted online. In the video clips, you can hear Payne react to the incident with other officers, trying to explain how Wubbels “obstructed” the investigation. At one point, the voice from another officer appears to be hatching a plan to go up to the burn unit and visit Gray in his hospital bed to try and get the blood sample. |

Luckily for her she can cut back to part time after she sues the county.

Re: Nurse Roughed Up
*Paid I worked as dispatch for a couple of years. Most of the dispatchers were multi-year tenure and gigantic assholes. The cops largely consisted of about-the-same as us... a few decent people and a lot of people who should retire. I've recently described most of them as "gym class superheroes". You can fill-in for yourself what that means, but there are a lot of lukewarm-intellects wearing "the bronze" as police in the US. |
