A pregnant woman who feared she was having a miscarriage was stopped from going to the emergency room for 20 minutes by an officer after her husband honked at him for blocking the hospital entrance with his car.
Kevin Enciso was driving his pregnant wife Sabrina, 32, to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida on doctor's orders because she was in pain from a car accident she was involved in the day before.
But as they approached the hospital in 100F heat on July 28, they found two Miami-Dade cop cars blocking the parking lot entrance as the officers had a chat.
Father-to-be Kevin, 28, decided to honk at the distracted deputies in a bid to rush his wife inside. One officer swiftly moved out of the way while the other decided to conduct a traffic stop.
And despite behind just a few hundred yards from the hospital entrance and in the middle of a medical emergency, the couple were instead interrogated by the officer for 20 minutes - who brushed off Sabrina's concerns since she was still 'breathing.'
It was only after first responders took tearful Sabrina's blood pressure, which was 'sky rocketing,' that the police officers let her pass through and enter the emergency ward.
Sabrina told DailyMail.com that at the time, she was only seven weeks into her pregnancy and had suffered a miscarriage just last year - hence her panic and urgency when she was rushed to the hospital.
After spending multiple hours in the ER following the ordeal, she found out that she was thankfully still pregnant and was in fact expecting twins

It gets harder and harder to support those people.
That guy doesn’t have what it takes to be a cop. However, he’d do well in the FBI.
My “back the blue” socks continue to remain in the drawer for the time being.
I disagree with the ACAB thing but will say they could use the acronym SCAB instead. It replaces all with some and we know what category that cop is in.

I am usually on the side of the Police in a lot of situations, but it is case like this that makes me say things like this:
If a cop was laying and screaming in the street while on fire, I wouldn’t piss on him to put it out
I cut them a lot of slack for understandable mistakes.
This kind of attitude is why I do not have a "We back the Badge" sign. Because they have way too many employees who have been taught that this kind of behavior is ok.
And, in my book, this is not ok.
I don't understand your comment at all. Support WHO, the cops or the pregnant woman and her husband?
I would certainly wait for all aspects of the situation to be revealed till I made a judgement one way or the other.

So being inconvenienced might have rendered her NOT pregnant?
About 10 years ago I was the Director of Capital Projects at Jackson. I know the Holtz Children’s Hospital well and exactly where the MDPD would be camped out to block entry to these people. This is a disgrace.
Thank God for her continued pregnancy and the joyful news of her impending twins.
Relegated to the Smokey Backroom.
Yes.
If you are having signs of having a miscarriage prompt treatment can mean the difference between being pregnant and not.
She was having a medical emergency and thought she was having a miscarriage. If the delay HAD caused a miscarriage, the cop should have been tried for double murder (she was pregnant with twins). He should be tried for something.
cop sounds dumb as a bag of hair
I am with you. I don’t push it anymore. The blue are part of the problem. How many are oath keepers?
Cops should NEVER be blocking an emergency medical entrance. Whatever is going on inside or outside could be handled by ambulatory police. The cars needn’t be blocking it.
I am sure you can dream up a bizarre and rare instance, but basically, NO!, they shouldn’t physically block an emergency entrance.
No, but being denied timely emergency medical care might have.
