I respect the office and function of the police. In this particular case, that policeman, and those responsible for his behavior, were wrong. At best, he should publicly make amends to the nurse and hospital staff and be put on probation.
“I respect the office and function of the police.”
I do too, and I’d be the first one there to help a downed officer. The police truly are the thin blue line that separates us from the crazies out there. But, in the back of our minds, we hope any interactions we have with the police are with the good ones (the majority)..and not with a “Detective Payne”.
