July 31 2017, guy fleeing police crosses median and slams into truck and dies. The truck catches fire severely burning the innocent driver, Mr. Gray, who was taken to SLC University. Police later showed up demanding to the UNCONSCIOUS innocent patient's blood. RN Alex shows them the policy requiring consent, arrest, or a warrant. Hospital administration back up RN Alex.
Police aggressively arrest RN Alex and removes her from the hospital. Officer body cam insanity released today:
In this video, the aggressive officer can be heard saying that he will ensure all the "transients" are brought to this hospitals ED since they won't cooperate after being told the administrators and privacy officer are on their way.
Original Crash (graphic):
Interesting note about Alex, she was a 2x Olympian, US Ski Team member, and national champion is Slalom and GS.
Did I miss something? I thought LadyM was being sarcastic with her post...
I would feel a lot better if she were. Maybe she'll come back and let us know. Although we get plenty of people here who post similar content in all seriousness.
Here's hoping I can get this right. I've been an RN for over 18 yrs, now medically retired. I was a house manager for over half my career. The actions of the police were egregious and cast a shadow over all our rights. Start limiting rights for some, and we all loose. He needs to become a trash collector, not a police officer.

I think you got it right.
I just want to add that most trash collectors are nice people. They do a very important job.
RunnerNurse09, I would have agreed with you a few years ago about the majority of LEOs being "good people." But I have seen too much, both on the news and in my own community to feel that way anymore. When the "good cops" won't stand up to the bad cops, it makes them all bad, and until the "good cops" decide to stand up for what is right, they will get only minimal respect from me. They need to stand up for what is right, even with their co-workers. There were many chances in this incident for the others to stop Officer Payne - none of them were willing to do what was right.
As disturbing as the video is to watch, it baffles me that a security guard just stood and watched. Security officers are also mandated with protecting rights of patients in addition to rights of fellow employees. Clearly two people's rights where endangered. Why is the RN the only one who stood up? And why did security do nothing but watch?
I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just genuinely curious as to what you think the security guard could have (or should have) done differently?
I worked in the security industry for several years before getting into health care and once the LEO's show up, there's nothing more security can do. Any attempt by security to intervene and he easily could have lost his job, his security license, and could be subject to a number of criminal charges depending on how he chose to intervene.
Just to clarify, I am by no means justifying the actions of law enforcement in this scenario. That officer should lose his badge and be subject to the same prosecution any non-LEO would face in the same situation. But, in my opinion, blaming the security guard is way off base. This falls in the hand's of law enforcement, and law enforcement only.
In all of your collective righteous indignation, has anyone bothered to think that maybe the law needs to change? Warrants shouldn't be required by the police to collect evidence. We're at war with terrorists, drug cartels and violent groups like Antifa. HIPPA and the laws this "nurse" were abusing are only aiding our enemies! This time it was a luckless driver, next time Wubbels might defend a member of ISIS or Antifa.

I agree with you on principle but did he REALLY have to hit the button to open the door for the POS Detective? I mean come on. What a shmuck!

She should lose her job before any LEO does.
Wow, just wow. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Speechless for now
I think Steve Bannon is deploying his bots again. LadyMossberg's post is the second one I've seen this evening by a newly joined member posting the radical right party line in their very first comment.
