At the VA, we'll treat you just like a King!

If true, this is murder. Where is the DA on this?
Just don’t let it get out that I posted a kitteh picture.
I have a rep to maintain, you know. :)
How sad is this. This could happen to any of us, and imo, it will happen more often when Obama”care” is in full affect. You WILL comply, or else.
where the VA Police amish? when was the last time they were trained in elderly abuse?
Yes. Missing information. I hope there’s recorded video surveillance.
Maybe it’s a hospital rule that a patient can’t leave w/needle in his arm, but if the patient refuses, it can’t be lawful that they use excessive force like this and kidnap, so to speak, a patient. Here’s another excerpt w/link, which might shed more light on this subject:
“..She claims the VA police brutalized her husband without any reasonable suspicion that there was “criminality afoot” or that he had committed a crime.
She seeks damages and punitive damages for wrongful death, assault and battery, false imprisonment, ..”
excerpt http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/05/25/68182.htm
They forcibly held him there, and then beat him and caused his death.
Let’s wait for the IG report....

If you get caught it will be very bad. My concealed carry trainer is ex-military and worked for the VA. He quit because of all the terrible protocols.
You cannot have you weapon on the property, including the parking lot. Even if you have, for example, a Leatherman tool, it will be taken and a ticket issued.
I’m not saying it’s right, I’m simply notifying you of the federal law. This supersedes your state’s law.
I know your are trying to help, but I got this.
Elsewhere in the article, they are referred to as “hospital police”.
Increasingly, the Just-us system has been turning a blind eye when police officers take it upon themselves to retaliate when an individual does something they view as “disrespecting” them.
When you have a Just-us system which will ignore, downplay-—or even encourage-—thuggish behavior, you get more thuggish behavior.
Thought the lawyer’s name and location might help you find it.

I’m not sure which bothers me more, the brutal death of a veteran at the hands of police on the grounds of a VA hospital charged with his care or the fact that it has taken 3 years for this story to surface.
At least it didn’t end up buried forever.
How many more such stories are still buried?
But what did he do to dis the guards? The story just doesn’t make any sense.
Failure to immediately comply with orders.
As we have repeatedly seen on Free republic, if immediate compliance isn’t achieved, retaliation follows.
It’s illegal if they catch you with it.
If it gets to that point, it’s already un-pretty.
I had a fight with my local county courthouse. I filed suit for them making me leave my gun in the care. as a result of the settlement, the court officers (in my county) will “check” your weapon while you’re in the building and return it to you as you leave.
