Probably trying to stick it to the nurse somehow.
These days skepticism reins supreme
Bottom line, the Feds will own both police forces whe this is over.
More trying to turn the nurse from victim to criminal? How about law enforcement being charged, fired, hopefully convicted, and jailed. Seems egregious what they did.
Officer Payne is probably looking at a Federal charge of kidnap under color of authority - 18 U.S. Code § 242.
That’s going to be some serious Federal prison time for that jerk.
Good.
It appears the SLC DA has turned on the cop who arrested the nurse.
I believe the SL County DA thinks he won’t get a proper investigation unless the FBI does it and rightfully so.
Det Payne and some of the others should be very nervous.
I think this means the DA does not trust those officers hiding the truth behind the ‘thin blue line’.
The ‘Mays’ case has taught police to lie whenever they want to without being penalized.
In my home town a detective fabricated a statement to try and trick a suspect. The cop never got a chance to use the fabricated ‘evidence’ and placed it into the case file. Months later in court the detective testified the document was real, having forgotten his attempt to trick the defendant.
The deception was discovered by the deference lawyer and what was the penalty for lying on the stand and evidence fabrication?
Nothing, no penalty...at all.
The police said it was a ‘honest mistake’.
Police will ALWAYS do whatever they can, including lying to protect their ‘fellow officers’...even when they commit crimes.
anyone in the chain of authority... in other words, much more than just the cop who arrested the nurse, and more than the cops who stood by and did nothing. They may be going after whomever was possibly trying to cover up the consequences of the police chase by blaming the victims. THAT individual needs to be removed, whatever level they are.
(Most have already heard, but the nurse, Alex Wubbels, competed for the US under her maiden name at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics in Alpine Skiing)
Sounds good to know the FBI will look into it. Plus I feel more confident the FBI will not dare cover-up the violations given the spotlight the FBI is currently under regarding the actions of James Comey.
Sim Gill is a liberal hack with little DA experience. He’s looking at the Governor’s office. He’s a pos and just grandstanding.
The whole thing is like a turd.
DA doesn’t want to hold it.
Maybe if he calls the FBI, they can help find the clean end of the turd.
Not going to find it but at least one more group has looked at the turd.
Less smell for the DA.
It seems in many of these law enforcement incidents, it’s almost as if the cops are assuming persons involved with them are either stupid to the bone and or are simply ignorant of the law. And they seem to forget, everything it recorded nowadays.
Even the cops were recording themselves, you could hear them whispering to each other, trying to figure out how to force the nurse into doing what they wanted.
It’s just unbelievable.
I’m thinking the da wants federal charges like kidnapping. This was a bad scene.
The truck driver / reserve police officer has passed away.
