Caught On Video: Nurse Dragged From Hospital By Police | TODAY

[@grumpyoldman3597]

one HUGE thing being glossed over, they wanted blood from the VICTIM of this event, NOT the guy they were chasing, but the innocent VICTIM of that police chase who is unconscious and badly burned all over his body... they wanted his blood hoping to find something they can use against him when he sues the crap out of the police department, this is an example of police victimizing the victims so they can find something to excuse any police mistakes...

[@gazzarafalemozzy4766]

wow good point they were chasing that car eh..omg

[@kugangles9860]

Yeah, interesting. I was wondering why the police were pushing so hard to get a tox screen on a victim of a car chase. As a ICU RN if we get a trauma unable to speak for himself and we're unable to reach next of kin/proxy we sometimes have to draw emergent labs/tox screens for treatment. I believe the authorities do not have access to the results without a signed consent and or warrant.

[@user-oj2is7eu5h]

FBI needs to investigate that entire police department.

[@gryphenicedancer8796]

Evan Whitehead Yes, why didn't they get a warrent to begin with? With those injuries, anyone with two brain cells to rub together would KNOW blood had been drawn at intake. I am now convinced it was to contaminate the samples in the police lab so the driver couldn't sue.

[@DIYContessa]

It's kinda like catching them with the proverbial hand in the cookie jar... shady people do shady things hence no surprise Mr Detective is an ahole and I doubt this is his first time being shady.

she's arrested because she refused to break the law? wow.

[@alienx99]

Now this Utah police department has to worry about 2 possible lawsuits, 1 from the original victim (truck driver) and now the nurse. Bad karma tends to follow bad people...

[@winstonthurston3423]

No...she was arrested because she 1.) refused to cooperate with a lawful order (or so the police officer believed, which gives him every right to arrest her), and 2.) she resisted arrest, (which allows him/them to use "reasonable" force to take her into custody. Police officers aren't judges. They are law enforcement. They are empowered to act when they BELIEVE someone is breaking the law. Judges determine guilt or innocence. Police officers are never going to be 100% perfect executing in their duties. Citizens and guests of the United States are REQUIRED to submit to lawful orders, allow themselves to be taken into custody, and let the legal system sort out the details. When I see cases on the TV news where a police officer shot someone, it's almost always because that person resisted arrest. Guilty! Don't resist! GO PEACEFULLY! Then sue them if it was an unlawful arrest!

[@kinsfather057]

Seems to me we can handle that job ourselves then.. jeez no need for cops.. i got S&W at my side

[@lagoonz5934]

Winston Thurston your a fool she refused to break the law and got arrested he should be stripped of his badge

[@mikezappulla4092]

Winston Thurston Well he thought it was a lawful order and was wrong. Maybe she thought she was not resisting arrest. He should have checked if he needed a court order or subpoena. If that patient would have died because his drip was stopped or vent turned off because his nurse was in the back of a police car, what would his blood be worth then? HIPAA clearly states what law enforcement can and can not do without patient permission.

[@PNWJeremy]

She prints out the terms/laws that the hospital and police department both agreed to. It doesn't get any clearer than that. Yet he acts like a big baby when he doesn't get his way. He needs to be fired.

[@mrtron1850]

Jeremy, yes that's what makes the most angry. I don't mind when people make mistakes. I do hate it when they're actually being told it's a mistake but they do it anyway.

[@ilovecanines]

He needs a psychological evaluation and to be removed of his duties.

[@Mayberrymojo]

Looks like the cops were trying to blame the crash on the truck driver because they will probably be sued for pursuing a dangerous car chase that ended in a severe accident and left the truck driver in critical condition.

[@annmcdonald7713]

Joshua Kooyman you got it

[@j.fragoso7451]

Joshua Kooyman Can u explain what happened in the car chase? Who was the police chasing?

[@musettesf]

Yep. PoPo CYA.

[@tashaharris6134]

Joshua Kooyman 100% correct

[@beniscooked]

Quite a sound explanation for why they wanted to draw blood so badly. So even if you're the victim of a crash, you're better off never consenting. Good to know tbh.

[@randomsecrets]

The Updated facts: A. The Truck Driver was the VICTIM of a head on collision caused by a high speed police chase. B. The Truck Driver was NOT Under arrest, Conscious to give consent, and NO warrant was obtained. Also, The TRUCK DRIVER IS AN OFF DUTY RESERVE POLICE OFFICER unknown to the Police at the time. This has ALL the smell of them trying to blame the truck driver for causing a wreck that THEY IN FACT CAUSED! This investigator has the "I'm God" complex, other officers stood around and did nothing while he attempted to violate the truck drivers constitutional rights and violated the nurse's rights. She was after all ONLY relaying the information from Hospital Administration on the phone!

[@GenericName007]

Her refusal was in line with HIPAA laws so this cop basically arrested her for not breaking the law at his request.

[@burbanpoison2494]

[@crkedyung2084]

[@Betcaligarcia]

Etho Exposed I would sue anyway not depending improvements I would sue the police department , city and the hospital for not getting an administrator down to the emergency room to deal with this mess. I would sue the individuals that were just standing there doing nothing especially those cops that allowed this woman to get dragged out of the hospital like that and disturbing the peace of other patients

[@trooper2221]

RC CGC good point I think. About bringing in an administrator

[@Betcaligarcia]

Trooper2221 trooper this story really stirred me up ! I'm so upset that this cop just arrested this women like that ! No support ! These administrators sit in these offices getting paid six fig salaries being able to reach them you have two sometimes three layers of bureaucrats people reception ,secretary, personal assistant for them to pick up a call or answer an email. It is ridiculous I'm sure while this woman was working the hospital administration was out to lunch ! Where was the head doctor ? Other nurses ? This is a big deal story ! It shows how vulnerable we are ! Plus I learned a lesson from this story our blood is our property- never thought of that.

[@talila6466]

Etho Exposed Same

[@ty_teynium]

Cop: I needed a blood sample, but I didn't have the warrant to request a blood sample I supposedly needed, so I arrested a nurse! Supervisor: Okay.... Where's the blood sample? Cop: ... What sample?

[@Thistledove]

I am a nurse and there is not enough words to express how disgusted I and nurses across this country are feeling right now. We are people of peace, we are people who care about other human beings, we are people who do our job and follow the rules. Wubbles is one of us and like one of us she was following the federal HIPPA rules and hospital policy. Nurses are angry and shocked. Mostly we are angry. Police have no right to brutalize us or any other person in this country. Trust was broken.

[@Xerdoz]

Stop treating cops in your hospitals. You are in no way obliged to treat anyone.

[@gyro4250]

they are obliged to treat everyone regardless of what they think about them. Thats what makes nurses so much better than cops.

[@FletcherCat]

"Trust was broken." a few police did this to one person! Better assume all police are out to get you!

[@rebeccaalexandre4100]

[@j2b348]

[@sanitary103]

Jack... youre stupid as schit.. the drunk driver, fleeing from the police is dead.. the unconscious driver was the the driver of a semi truck that was hit by the driver fleeing police.. he was THE VICTIM. not the driver fleeing police. youre just jumping to conclusions to something you have no knowledge of. The police wanted to draw blood from the innocent victim of the crash for no apparent reason.

[@randyvinson6114]

they had a reason to draw blood dude hoping he had something was in his system to deflect blame of the accident that the police created by changing the driver?

[@marleyme1381]

This Detective is out of line he pulled a Nurse from her duties affecting other patients health... He should be sued for millions

[@thecar-pitalist7957]

TrevNick Simptietz "He ShOuLd Be SuEd FoR mILLiOnS." But why? She's not the only nurse in the hospital, so I highly doubt any patients were effected. Yes, he should probably be sued due to wrongful arrest, but not for millions. It's not like she was seriously injured, just roughed up a bit.

[@demonhunter635]

Steven Tripup Yeah, who cares if the police just drag people out? Or arrest someone unlawfully?

[@Bryan-Hensley]

When I worked at EMS a cop stopped our ambulance for speeding while we had a patient in the back. I sued a won a small amount but the patient sued and was awarded several million. The state ended up having to come in and take over that county because it bankrupt the whole county government.

[@Ravynwulf1]

+Steven Tripup. As a nurse, I can say that it definitely puts patients at risk. Nurses know their patients, not other nurses patients. Every patient is different and even simple treatments can have harmful consequences if the treatment isn't right for the patient. When we hand off our patients to other nurses, it takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes per patient to look up allergies, medications, lab tests, imaging, procedures, health history, diagnoses, plans of care, vital sign trends, etc. That's not to mention assessing our patients, which takes approximately 5-15 minutes per patient depending on your experience and acuity of the patient. If suddenly a patient were to crash, it would leave those responding to the emergency no idea what led up to the emergency, leaving them to look up and test for everything possible, and delay care long enough to potentially save a life.

[@JustAPersonalUseBarb]

Too much of ur tax money my dude. Well, i assume the nurse does deserve 1 percent of my paycheck. (not really)

[@unclevroomvroom]

So, the truck driver (patient who's blood the police wanted drawn) was innocently driving down the road, and hit by a car driven by someone running from the police. The truck caught on fire, and the truck driver was badly burned. Why would the police be so desperate to get blood results? To some how shift blame to the truck driver? I support the Men Blue, but this stinks of some sort of cover up.

[@user-oj2is7eu5h]

unclevroomvroom FBI needs to get involved for sure. Seems like the police dept was trying to do a coverup. Is this standard procedure for them?

[@Daywalker_27]

unclevroomvroom Innocent truck driver was seriously injured due to a police chase. Police needed something anything to not be liable for the truckers injuries. Even if they had gotten the truckers blood samples I seriously doubt it would have been admissible. "Did you have consent to collect blood samples?" "No" "Did you have a warrant?" "No" "Was he under arrest?" "No" "Move to dismiss"

[@badr4359]

[@mirza2975]

Michael Lucas you can, in serious cases, a DNA test( such as a blood test) can be warranted for by a judge. But this wasn't a serious case. The full story is this. During a high speed police chase, a police car had an accident with a civilian vehicle. Then, the police found the hospital to where the man was admitted, and tried to essentially shift blame to the civilian. That's what they were trying to do.

[@cryora]

Then don't do it. If you can't get a warrant for it, you can't go and collect evidence. There are systems in place for a reason. It doesn't matter if you get blamed. If you are wrong, you are supposed to take the blame.

Lasalle, this goes even deeper than HIPPA. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the police can not take a blood sample from a patient without consent unless he's under arrest or they have a search warrant. That cop tried to force a nurse to violate a patient's 4th Amendment rights.

[@robinbressler7505]

Assault is assault! Who do we go to when the police think they are above the law?!?! He didn't have a warrant , the man wasn't under arrest and was unable to consent!

The cops were trying to get her to break a federally mandated law. It really is not just the policy of the hospital, it is a FEDERAL LAW. Those cops need to be stripped of their badges, let go from the PD without any severance pay, and go directly to jail. Exactly what that one cop was going to do to her. He deserves the same treatment, no worse! Because they had to be aware of this law for the last 12/14 years when HIPPA first came into effect. Every agency, hospital, Dr. Day care center, etc, etc, must abide by this law or be terminated or worse depending on the person(s) and/or agency that perpetrated this illegal act. They should be treated no differently for breaking the law, oh i should say, trying to get someone else to break the law for them by, strong arm tactics, gas lighting, abduction, oh gosh the list is long. That cop was nothing short of a being a woman beater and prob would have shown even worse procedures if the camera were not rolling. Husbands go to jail for doing what he did! I can't help but wonder if he is married or maybe i should say still married (I really don't know) but, if he is, I wonder just what he is like with her. If the police depts are supposed to be the long arm of the law, then they need to learn the laws before they can become an officer. It's ludicrous that most of them don't! Just saying...

Another concern is that the other officers allowed this to happen. Better training to keep their fellow officers in line would have avoided this. Obviously the officer on leave may be working for someone on the side, the government needs to make it clear to its employees as to who they actually work for, or else the hammer comes crashing down on that organized business.

The officer gets suspended with pay, so in other words, he gets a paid vacation.

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

Ptay0000 exactly. there was a cop driving drunk hit a mini van full of kids, killed 6 of them doing 112mph while off duty with no lights on. he stayed on paid leave for 4 years until the lawsuit was "settled" with unspecified damages and was immediately reinstated with a promotion and nearly double the pay. when the local released that information, he was transfered to another city and got another raise after another lengthy vacation while another complaint, this time for sexual assault, was "investigated". quite the buddy system they got going on.

[@developmentalist]

lilsammywasapunkrock Do you have a name for the guy in that story? Or some links. It sounds wild. Also did you hear what happened to David Eckert in New Mexico a couple of years back? They literally anally probed the guy, 8 different times in one night. They had to pay out 1.5 million for that case. Seriously though, if the compensation settlements was coming out of the cops pay and pensions packages instead of the local municipality's general funds their behavior would dramatically improve overnight.

[@DvsMoi6]

The truck driver and the subject of the blood draw was the VICTIM of a high-speed police pursuit when a suspect being chased by the police crashed into him. Why did the police want a blood sample from the truck driver? So they could place the blame on the victim who had no control over get in the accident and not themselves for starting the chase. Local and State police never take responsibility for their actions. We need civilian review boards reviewing every police interaction. I'm thankful the body cam footage wasn't "lost." BTW I'm a former FLEO.

[@ClumsyCars]

That's a really good point.

[@markheartland2]

And to add further irony the VICTIM is also a reserve LEO.

[@demetriusdavis95]

[@menopassini9348]

Why did the cops want the Blood sample so bad? Because the Cops chase caused the fiery crash that the trucker was severely burned in. They were trying to discredit the trucker to say his intoxication was the cause of the crash. That is why the other cops didn't intervene. This is a story about a innocent trucker being severely burned by police negligence. The trucker/ family have a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the cops. It is Sad about the nurse, but she is back to work and her family. The trucker Not so Lucky.

[@archied202]

Nigel Thornberry it wasn't like it was a minor accident, the victim was severely burned in his car and was an innocent bystander, and then the police further hurt themselves by illegally trying to obtain a tox screen from a non compliant patient and pulled a nurse from her medical duty which consisted of treating patients on no legal grounds. That's why they should be sued.

[@menopassini9348]

Not only did they want his blood without a warrant, they wanted her to draw it while he was still in critical condition - putting his life at risk. Besides intimidating, assaulting and falsely-imprisoning the nurse, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd planned on tampering with evidence. Apparently there was a police chase of some sort before the crash and the patient in question was hit head on and had no fault whatsoever in the crash.

[@billyshears8270]

the police are never going to realize the law is the law, they think the cops are the law, and their police department rarely punishes a cop because then it's an admission, and makes the department less money besides looking bad. They instead come up with a clever excuse, or way around it, or alibi. Instead the department fights to make themselves look like they were right and just doing their job. sounds negative, but it's mostly true. This case is different because it got caught on video, to a nurse, in a hospital, and the law was more clear. Also most nurses would have caved under the pressure, I'm glad she stuck to the law. Had it been another civilian in the middle of nowhere, no video cameras, the cops would do whatever they please, and lie to cover it up.. if they had a vested interest in whatever it was they wanted. and the old, 'but some cops are good' bs is a waste of breath as that's obvious..

Mountain Mama .. ..the cop will not forgot the "burn unit" he stumbled over his sense of entitlement into. This'll burn for quite some time on his record----and should. It's hard to name a more trusted american career vs. a least trusted american career...cop v. R.N. is never easy to defend. But she can lose more than just her job----she can easily lose her state nursing license as well. Confidentiality is highly litigated in medicine law. He needs some serious community service done at the burn unit or any other spot that overworked and undervalued nurses work.

[@rethguals]

It's not easy or quick to replace a nurse taken off-shift; it usually means the other nurses in that ward have to take over her patients. It's not necessarily a critical situation, but yes - does impact the quality of the patients' care.

[@rethguals]

While the legal system often does have a tendency to look after its own (for better or for worse), I wouldn't be too optimistic about this officer's future in the police. Unlike those dodgy cases of officers getting off after using deadly force on suspects who probably didn't warrant it, there's no shaky legal precedent protecting them (ie, self-defense), no huge counter-protest defending the officer's actions, etc. Had the nurse complied, she would have broken the law and put her registration at risk (clearly the officer had a poor appreciation for how much accountability and regulation nurses are under). This case is making pretty huge waves in the nursing community all over the world; us being a profession that traditionally has a fairly close-knit relationship with the police. It's not an event SLCPD can defend (the nurse was shortly released without being charged), and they know that it'll take more than an apology from the police chief to fix.

[@ichigomursalin]

Ja Z hippa laws r for patients, I don't really see an issue with giving blood for a test especially if ur an athlete like her, seems a bit suspicious but the cop did not have the right to pick her up like tht.

[@greasygemini]

Nurses are very intelligent professionals they save the doctors from making huge mistakes if they find their patients crashing. They are knowledgeable about hospital policies and most especially documentation and consent. I don't know all the details but sounds like she showed written proof and documentation of everything that disallowed taking of blood. Nurses are well-trained in this. The detective sounded ticked off when he couldn't get his way and used brute force sounded like this is his usual modus operandi on a medical profession. I have a lot of respect for the law they try to do their job protecting us I have an equal amount of respect for medical professional they do their best to protect patients when there is no one around no family the professionals always have to act in their best interest but it must be accordance with the law if they will be held accountable even if they might not agree with it. The nurse showed utmost professionalism and represented her profession well. I don't know her but I'm so proud of her and how sincere she was in protecting her patient being his advocate most nurses are unsung dedicated silent heroes. Likely, nothing will happen to the detective since law agents are so hard to come by. It's unlikely he will get dismissed unless it was an egregious mistake resulting in gross error or death. Most likely he will get an internal review be secretly scolded in private by his superior and put on an administrative leave and probably sent on a corrective course to amend his actions and familiarize himself with the law. The nurse will either press charges of assault which will be settled in her favor or she will let it go but ensure the police force has quality assurance that they understand the laws in place. I feel for the nurse she was just doing her job. The detective felt he was doing his job but he was clearly ignoring the law. There are very rarely unprofessional nurses I know this well. This is typical behavior of nurses standing their ground going above and beyond to protect their patients. Their jobs are not easy this is an extreme example.

[@Rosfield_SW]

1luv4204life are you 2? #try2hard??? Really, why take the time to reply to it? It's stupid and ur prob gonna come back to me and reply something smart 😊

[@cartersgallery]

Your right

[@robbieworkman5002]

Vee Tee think u wrote a long enough comment?

[@elmcityslim]

Vee Tee easily: HIPPA would have been used to spank her so hard that a week in jail would have seemed like a good idea. She made the right choice to defy these pigs.

[@CocoTheGr8t]

God bless you lady. Thanks for fighting not only for others rights but for your own as well.

[@talila6466]

Coco 444 People Liked this and I do to

[@realblackbetty2204]

This officer was dead wrong and will be punished, but why are people blaming the entire police dept and cops in general for this guy?

[@briscoejr1]

I would not blame the entire department... But please have a look at the entire 20 minute video out there where another officer was trying to convince her after she was arrested that she is the problem...

[@ZeldaNarutoLovaer11]

And where an officer tells her "you're interfering with MY law"

[@briscoejr1]

Exactly.. You may have an officer with a problem but the "my law" comment from someone at the command/supervisory level is more worrisome to me...

[@mrtron1850]

Sam, well, none of the other cops there even tried to tell the guy he couldn't do that.

[@thermophile2106]

None of the other cops tried to stop him, and the police dept still has him on active duty. If I was chief, I would have him on immediate, unpaid leave, investigation, probably followed by firing, and arrest if the cop.

[@tlcpg8894]

And the other cops are watching the criminal assault the nurse?!

[@MossadDid911]

Ah yes. Those must be the "good" cops people keep talking about

[@rebeccaalexandre4100]

TLC PG exactly !

[@wellyoung4970]

Exactly !!

[@aliciairene1770]

Police are supposed to work for and accommodate the law. Laws that were made to gaurd against tyranny. They suddenly think that just because they got their badge and a weapon they're suddenly superior. They act like the vile tyrants they supposedly work against by doing such actions and should be removed

[@aliciairene1770]

Hasn't History taught any one anything? Apparently not, or else we wouldn't be alot more at peace.

[@aliciairene1770]

would be alot more peaceful*

[@AlecIsNostalgic]

Alicia Irene they are so scary to be honest. Like he's here more focused on trying to falsely accuse both the victim of a traumatic accident and an RN who is doing her job to align with the policies and HIPPA laws than he is actually trying to find a real person in an unlawful situations. Like how many drug deals and assaults or robberies could have been going at the time? Or maybe further looking into an unresolved case that would actually matter rather than frightening all these people. Police make me sick I hate interacting with them and I've never broken the law or done anything unlawful, they almost just are trained to scan people in inhumane ways and falsely accuse or over react in hopes to charge someone and collect the fee or to assert dominance.

[@rampart55]

The nurse was following the Law. Here we have an officer that is SUPPOSED To know the law. I am a retired Police officer I was on the force for 32 years. What I seen is disgusting behavior shown by these officers. Not one officer but a few were on hand as this happened and NOT ONE Knows the Law?? And if they did Not one stepped forward to stop this?. To top it off they put her in a squad Car for 20 minutes and what were they doing? I feel that not just one officer but all that were on hand should be suspended without pay. And before they are allowed to go back into public service they should have to brush up on the Laws that they are supposed to enforce. And be tested before they can put that shield back on. Its crap like this that makes officers that are doing a good job become targets of violence. And people wonder why officers are targets, It crap like this that is turning the tide on Law enforcement.

[@construct8295]

rampart55 thank you sir for your time protecting this country, and yeah, i agree with you 100%

[@jerrysweet625]

and here it is.

[@danoesq2]

I hope she sues the crap out of the police department and that rouge cop HAS to be fired.

[@buckrowley1506]

cool nurse troll name from the 1960s I think

[@jacobgaldo1362]

I have the sinking suspicion that he needs to be fired due to the publicity of the arrest and of which he used unwarranted force against a civilian, who was following the standard protocol for ALMOST EVERY HOSPITAL WITHIN THE COUNTRY and his lack of knowledge to this is worrying due to this being a common practice between many hospitals this cop not knowing this meaning that maybe his peers might not know other laws and policies

[@mrm9858]

Sue them

[@grahamejohnson593]

The 18 minute unedited one is far more disturbing

[@RJH449]

😂

[@zack_677]

This cop should lose his badge, this was not the way to handle the situation, holding the requirements she read them aloud, she was not in the wrong, this man dragged her out of the hospital, she wasn't putting anyone in danger and had no reason for arrest other than him having a bad temper, SMH

[@zliciousnikka]

Someone who is supposed to enforce the law is wanting her to break the law. SMH. I salute you nurse Wubbels for doing what was right.

[@Chemicalkinetics]

I don't understand how people can continue to defend these polices. This police is not protect the law. He was violating the law -- in multiple occasions. The person on phone even told him (1:10) that he cannot threaten the nurse. Next thing he did? He arrested her. He didn't arrest her because she broke the law. If in the doubt, this officers could have called his supervisor to verify the situation. But no. He arrested her because he didn't want a "no" as an answer.

[@LittleLottieLorah]

I hate cops. My ex husband was abusive and would Lock me out of the house we lived in the middle of no where I had to break in to my house and I got arrested for breaking and entering ..my house. ..while that man got nothing but a pat on the back. Luckily the judge was amazing

[@MyRefriedBeans18]

Ill bet you were a fat nagging wife too

[@LittleLottieLorah]

Bret Allen can you see my picture ? No not fat. He was narsisistic .. probably just like you. I just noticed you have a little girl. How would you like a random stranger say something judgemental and mean to her like you did to me ? Do you know me . ..? No are you wrong ?... Yes!. Show respect and teach your daughter to do better than her dad. On top of that even if I was..does that give a man the right to do that to her ? He hit me too ..does that make it ok. I hope your daughter never goes through that

[@MyRefriedBeans18]

You just seem like the type to draw trouble and have dumb judgement.

[@LittleLottieLorah]

Bret Allen wow again do you know me ? Because I'm not like that at all. I cannot wait for someone to hurt your daughter's so you will know how it feels. You are a bully. If I have bad judgment than why are you allowing a child to drive a car and have another video of a little girl topless in your videos ? Not smart

[@LittleLottieLorah]

Live with no Regrets yeah but he would do stuff to me sober anyways

[@johntemple2347]

If that officer doesn't do jail time it is obvious we live in a failed system

[@gyro4250]

yup, failed system in our country 1 in 36 adults are either locked up, on parole, or on probation. If thats not proof of a broken system i dont know what is

[@jontelindsey4952]

John Temple he won't have they been getting jail time nope

[@dat209papi]

It's America and law enforcement is just corruption at its finest!!

[@BoomerKeith1]

Oh, we've been living in a failed system for a long time. It's just now being seen by more people.

[@Dannnnnnnlol]

Jonte Lindsey was that english?

[@Subway44]

"Protect and Server" -this man isn't a cop, he's a thug.

[@TigerMeadows]

It's Officer Pain! lol

[@bobobibo2357]

The arresting officer was fired on October 10, and his supervisor was demoted two ranks from Lieutenant to Officer. On October 31, 2017, Wubbels and her attorney announced that Salt Lake City and the University of Utah had agreed to settle the incident for $500,000.
