And just think—your tax dollars paid for the hospital police to beat a veteran.

They had to use whatever means necessary to keep him there for his own good.

And just think—your tax dollars paid for the hospital police to beat a veteran.

And just think - your tax dollars will pay for this to happen under Obamacare.

Hear You! Glad to know you!

This is beyond belief. Infuriating.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In order to save the patient we had to kill him.

Another source of same incident:

“Lawsuit alleges veteran beaten to death by VA hospital police”

http://www.examiner.com/article/lawsuit-alleges-veteran-beaten-to-death-by-va-hospital-police

The source for that coverage appears to be “Raw Story”.

There better be video or eye witnesses for this colorful story to go anywhere.

You say po-tay-tos, I say po-tah-tos.

[Altariel]

And that is the rub: this is one incident which happened three years ago.

The very nature of this story should have been front page news at that time.

The real question isn’t (sadly) “where is the video of this incident?” the question is: “how many more such incidents happen-—and the family members or loved ones never learn the truth?”

The article notes a nurse who witnessed the attack and spoke up.

Another sneak peak at ObamaCare. Get ready America. This government healthcare bull**** is about to get ugly. Death panels and SWAT teams.

Isn't that just beautiful? Now the VA has another way to kill you. Death from no VA medical care, or death from VA minimum wage security guards. Yes, just F'ing beautiful. You are right. Get ready, it's coming. I think a lot of people are going to die.

The “government” will now be able to tell everyone when their time is up. Reminds me of an old “B” movie from back in the 60s. I never thought I’d see it but it’s here.

[Graewoulf]

Reminds me of the Movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Once upon a time several years ago, I learned of some mistreatment at a VA hospital. Many soldiers were mistreated. It just so happened that the soldiers in our area had a special event going on, so...I talked to THEM :)

They checked it out, AND managed to fix it!

[SgtHooper]

They get better treatment in prison anyway.

[goodwithagun]

It is illegal to carry a weapon on VA property. You will be arrested, and it won’t be pretty.

What is the ping list? Am I on it?

And for that alone they need to loose their licensing. Falsification of medical reports IS illegal and a major medical ethics violation.

I can’t find a copy of the action.
