I did not watch the video. But....
The headline says the nurse was dragged and was screaming.
Is she nuts?
She’s being arrested and is going to jail over “hospital policy”? And - she’ll likely be fired for her idiot reaction.
She’s nuts. She over stepped her duties.
“I didn’t look at the video, but I looked at the headline, so I am confident I know what the real story is.”
The bar is high, but I think you may have cleared it for the most clueless FreeRepublic post ever.
Seems to me she upheld her duties and protected the victim from an unlawfull act.
Watch the video then comment.
> I did not watch the video. <
Watch the video. it’s only two minutes long. That nurse was very calm and professional. She knew exactly what the law was. The person who was nuts was the cop. He absolutely exploded when he didn’t get his own way.
Some might say that you should always obey a cop’s orders, then sort it out later. That’s usually good advice. But not in this case.
By the way, here’s the full (18 minute) video of the event:

Put in your asbestos underpants, FRiend. You’re going to get torched.
Hardly. Patient confidentiality is a very real issue. HIPAA and the 4th Amendment are in play here.
The unconscious person in her hospital was the victim of a head-on collision caused by a perp (who died in this same collision) the Utah police were chasing.
There is no cause for this victim's blood to be drawn.
She's on the phone talking to hospital officials, and relaying information. If the hospital would have drawn the blood and given it to the cop, they would have violated both HIPAA, and the 4th Amendment. The hospital, and possibly the nurse, would have then subjected themselves to two potential lawsuits by the victim in this case, and any blood drawn would have been inadmissible in court.
No judge in his/her right mind would issue a warrant in this case, and there is no reason for this victim to be under arrest.
Thank-you. That was the best laugh of the morning.
The cop was out of control, and acted beyond his authority. Glad for the video, as it will be used in the court case against him. Hope the nurse wins big and this power-mad cop gets slapped down (and I am pro-cop)...
You should watch the video. That police office is going to enjoy his next career as a school crossing guard.
Are you kidding me?
She was protecting the rights of an American citizen against overzealous police actions.
Is she nuts?

She’s nuts.
You’re nuts.
She overreacted, she RESISTED ARREST, she thought she could get away with it because she was a WOMAN..
“She’s being arrested and is going to jail over “hospital policy”? And - she’ll likely be fired for her idiot reaction.
She’s nuts. She over stepped her duties.”
First day with your new brain?
How?
