Utah Nurse Unlawful Arrest

It is not surprising cops feel comfortable with the act of tyranny, partaking in fascism, and the continuing of the erosion pertaining of our Constitutional/Human Rights. The message from our government and policy makers are loud and clear. They are the law and order; from Trump pardoning Sheriff Arpaio, military grade weapons being reinstated in police departments, Blue Live Matter executive orders and the careless police behavior towards all communities, but in particular predominantly Black ones. Here is a peace from the Washington Post.

By all accounts, the head nurse at the University of Utah Hospital’s burn unit was professional and restrained when she told a Salt Lake City police detective he wasn’t allowed to draw blood from a badly injured patient.

The detective didn’t have a warrant, first off. And the patient wasn’t conscious, so he couldn’t give consent. Without that, the detective was barred from collecting blood samples — not just by hospital policy, but by basic constitutional law.

Still, Detective Jeff Payne insisted that he be let in to take the blood, saying the nurse would be arrested and charged if she refused.

Nurse Alex Wubbels politely stood her ground. She got her supervisor on the phone so Payne could hear the decision loud and clear. “Sir,” said the supervisor, “you’re making a huge mistake because you’re threatening a nurse.”
