The hospital’s prior actions and communications with the police aside, the security guards and every officer treated the woman like a drunk or someone on drugs (or just a disdain for what they perceived as a deadbeat faker).
Why? Because she wasn’t black, Hispanic or some other protected minority with whom they knew they’d face some outcry afterwards. Will there be BLM, ANTIFA, the ACLU or any other group besides some scumbag lawyers at the ready now? Likely not.
Personally, my guess is that the hospital found out that she had no money, no insurance and probably couldn’t run up enough charges on Medicaid to make it worth their time.
WTG, Knoxville.
IF they found out she had no money, I am not sure what to think.
(didn’t watch the video per FR standards for commenters).
Why should hospitals be forced to care for people who won’t pay? I am not sure that is ethical, either.
I am sorry this lady suffered and died. But I don’t think assuming everyone else is going to take care of you is the answer.
