When there’s evidence of an uncooperative patient, EMS will not respond without a call for assistance to law enforcement.

So the police were only there as a matter of procedure to begin with, not for any actual danger.

Shari Keller said “tackle” is an accurate word for what happened. “It was pick him up, slam him to the floor,” she said. “The nurses were so upset they were in tears.” Hamm placed a knee in Loy’s back, pulled Loy’s arms behind him and handcuffed the minister. With Loy still on the floor, Hamm told Keller and the staff to stay back or leave the room, and he would not allow them to assist Loy, the suit claims.

Absolutely outrageous. Sickening! I hope he gets his badge sued off, the SOB.

Physical injuries from the tackle and he denies him medical care. Amazing.

No point...I hope that the city gets its a$$ sued off, the people who live there (and elected the city government) work for this guy and his family for a few years, and the city loses its liability insurance. A few “examples” like this would change things.
