"In disturbing video captured by police body camera, a Utah nurse was handcuffed and taken into custody for refusing to draw blood from an unconsciousness patient in violation of state law.
According to the Deseret News, the incident occurred on July 26 when Salt Lake police detective Jeff Payne hustled nurse Alex Wubbels out of University Hospital’s Burn Unit over the protests of her fellow employees.
“This is crazy. This is crazy. Why is he so angry?” she is heard on body camera video as Payne cuffed her and dragged away from the patient."

I'm a nurse, if a nurse does not follow the rules of nursing she can lose her license. At any rate that cop should go to jail himself. She MUST follow legal rules.

[@GlamazonzBlogspot]

I am a nurse as well, we would immediately get reprimanded, fired and lose our licence. Where was the charge nurse and nursing supervisors when this was going on. She did everything right. I hope she brings charges against this officer and he should go to jail.

[@westingtyler2]

The cop tried to coerce a nurse into breaking the law. that HAS to be a crime.

[@penny544]

I am a nurse as well, I felt her pain. She won a lawsuit I've read thank goodness!

[@Human-Equals-Garbage]

But if the cops don't follow the law, the tax payers just have to pay for their "mistake" while they are having a party at the police station, celebrating the brutality.

[@yesimtakeoffcantstopmenow2663]

In October of 2017, the cop was fired and the nurse sued the pants off the police department and won a 500k settlement. You go girl!

[@SoulEssence]

Let It Takeoff that's cool but "sued the pants off"? Never heard that phrase before -I need to start using it-

[@lilkay5824]

Does it matter that she was a girl?

[@theodore7986]

He literally broke the law, there's no way around it. He shouldn't get special treatment just because he's a cop

[@jmcculloh88]

He didn’t get special treatment, he was fired for his actions and held accountable. I’m very pro law enforcement but he was absolutely out of line.

[@christineleatherwood7987]

Cops should have been arrested. He endangered lives by arresting her and prevented her from doing her job. He also assaulted her.

[@primetano7770]

He should of been arrested, he was so aggressive

[@rating9392]

She made 500k off of this and he lost his job. Sweet justice

[@VengePlayz]

Arrest a person for doing their job and following the law. This is messed up.

[@realUlfricStormcloak]

[@bananarepublicusa4505]

Time for a lawsuit. Cops need to follow the Constitution. No exceptions. That fascist asshole should be fired, but won't.

[@VengePlayz]

Banana Republic USA Agreed!

[@ariefraiser140]

Ignorance of the law is no excuse! The cop not only needs to be fired he needs to be charged with assault.

[@filonin2]

Silly peasant, laws aren't for cops. They *are* the law!

[@ariefraiser140]

Lonnie Frank I really could care less about why they were trying to do anything. They didn't have a warrant, they admitted the patient was not under arrest, and the patient had never given consent. The supreme court has already ruled on this. Also you need to double check your facts....everywhere I looked it states the patient was a victim who was hit by someone the cops were chasing....wgich explains why the patient was not under arrest. Merely running from the cops is enough for them to place you under arrest. The Asshat cop needs to be arrested for assault.

[@takethegate2108]

The police union is the most powerful civilian force next to state elected officials. The state officials will do nothing to the servants who protect their thievery and corruption.

[@fatdoi003]

yep blue lives matter

[@gai9961]

I feel so bad for her, because she did her damn job, nothing wrong. The cop on the other hand was so unprofessional, its your job to enforce the job! Not break it!

[@papillonstudio6169]

The tense incident led officials at the hospital - run by University of Utah Health - to bar police officers from patient-care areas; the police officer involved, Detective Jeff L. Payne, was eventually fired from his job with the police department and from a part-time job he held as a paramedic. Additionally, the nurse was awarded $500,000.

[@m.c.9419]

they also "demoted his watch commander, Lt. James Tracey, to the rank of officer. The Tribune reports that both men have appealed the punishment, and that a criminal investigation into Wubbels' arrest is ongoing." So, I don't know what the hell is left to investigate. The video footage is the nails in this coffin. But clearly, this jackass didn't think he deserved losing his job even though he would have regardless had that nurse broke the law. She'd have lost her job and license too.

[@AlexVanSant]

On another note. that nurse deserves an award and a vacation for sticking up for her patients rights and having to deal with a law breaking cop. Dear Nurse, I commend your actions and i can't thank you enough.

[@purpledancer4914]

Alex Van Sant yup, maybe Gray's family would help her?

[@AlexVanSant]

Gray? sorry im not sure i understand. Who is gray?

[@phoenixmoon5580]

If you arrest a nurse during a shift, you stop a nurse doing her work. Sometimes that means saving people's lives. Should that happen, it's like the cop is murdering or deliberately harming someone, OR not aiding in the assistance in saving someone's life.

[@gaigeiris9632]

update: he was fired, appealed for his job back, and was rejected, he also sexually harassed a co-worker over several months and had several previous disciplines

[@averygump]

this is great and all but all hes gotta do is drive 40 mins away and get a new job in another dept

[@Statalyzer]

Another way of looking at this is that he abused his power, used force to drag someone away against their will, committed crimes of sexual nature, and got away with no actual legal charge brought against him.

[@datfisheboi6519]

Allow me to demonstrate how it should have happened: “You don’t have a warrant/anything else required to get this.” “Okay. Let me see if I can get that.” The end.

[@NothingMaster]

That cop should be fired and jailed.

[@chelseaphipps8744]

Cops that don't get penalised for breaking the law annoy me, just because they are a cop doesn't mean they can't do wrong

[@rachc2399]

Fire the cop and sue him for False Arrest, Assault and Afray. I would

[@jmcculloh88]

He was fired

[@christineleatherwood7987]

Cops should be able to be sued personally...nothing is going to change if the department gets sued and citizens have to pay for it.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

He literally threw a tantrum because he didn't get his way. The guy is a danger to society.

[@jasonchaos236]

Agreed

[@raceace]

When multiple police officers witness an obvious failure to meet the legal requirements for a lawful blood sample and do nothing to stop an unlawful assault on a nurse, its not just one bad apple, it's systemic incompetence. Nationally US police forces have shown they lack the ethical capacity to justly use the powers entrusted to them by law. These powers need to slowly be removed until they realise the responsibility required for their use. US citizens deserve better.

[@PennyPennyPennyPennyPenny]

Rhys Hughes yes, all of this

[@FluffyBadAss]

As a victim of Police Brutality it is almost impossible for me to watch these videos without having a crazy emotional response. Even so, I am so incredibly grateful for the attention you pay to this issue at TYT and would rather sit through a million videos like this than have someone who could help make a change miss just one. Thanks Young Turks, I love what you do!! Never stop!!

[@sa2018]

Keep telling yourself America that you are a free country.

[@nikkinoivern4392]

he needs to be fired, he was abusing his power because he didn't like what he got told, he needs to be fired for that, he broke the law

[@gracem7165]

nikkinoivern He did get fired.

[@christineleatherwood7987]

He needs to be arrested.

[@Elfin4]

This is literally assault by that Police officer. He should be prosecuted for the abuse on this poor nurse.

[@carolemerle9995]

Having been a nurse for many years, I can tell you that I would have done the same thing that this nurse did, advocate for the patient. I think her supervisor should have been there though before it escalated. As far as the brutality goes, there should have been an investigation. Since the orders came from the cop's boss, include him in the investigation and start disciplining him and go down the line to the cop. There was no reason for the cop to do what he did. That's my take on what happened to the nurse.

[@mellutz3681]

It's sickening, if I work in fast food and a cop comes in demanding I serve him for free and I say "I'm not allowed to do that" are they allowed to arrest me because it's against the rules and I don't give them what they want?

[@QemeH]

I'm an EMT and I had the same argument with a cop once. It's common practice here that when administering an IV, we also collect blood (unless the patient objects). That sample however is for medical reasons and is given to the hospital lab on arrival to quicken a full anamnesis as much as possible. It is decidedly unlawful for us to give these samples to ANYONE but the lab. We can't even give them to nurses in the ER, we have to deliver it ourselves to the lab (collection point is within ER, but still...), much less someone not in the medical field like a cop. Thankfully the cop then did not arrest me, because his shift buddy talked him out of it, but it was kinda scary to have a cop tell you to do an unlawful thing "or else..." I wanna stress however, that this is the major exception with our police force. Most officers in my city are super polite and take their job seriously. They never arrive on a scene faster than on the rare occasions of an ambulance panic button being pressed. Working a scene with fire, police and EMS usually feels like having one big team on the job. That's why the exceptions stand out so much.

[@nobilisvaga5267]

QemeH this is checks and balances, and I thank you for doing your job. Not only as an EMT, but also being an upstanding human being for protecting people from the unfortunate side of our once fine tuned system.

[@openpackstherapy8534]

He assaulted that woman and should be charged immediately. He had no right to put his hands on her.

[@KittySYT]

This is America 😪

[@SomalianDuke]

The cop also tried to coerce her into breaking the law. Smh

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

And I really doubt he will be. This is what we have become.

[@julioharitzhandy7784]

Nurse won $500k with the Sue and the detective was fired. Happy ending :)

[@osvaldosilva96]

Really ? Thanks

[@alexjmartinez1813]

He basically gave her the money he broke the law

[@desox123]

Proof

[@christineleatherwood7987]

It should have came from the cop's pension. Cop also should have been arrested.

[@NB79032]

I got stopped at an illegal stop on an on ramp. I was having chest pain and tightness and started having trouble breathing, but not enough that I couldn't drive. It just took extra energy. I told the cop I was having a medical emergency and he laughed at me and mocked me. He kept me there for 10 minutes until the other cop told him he should have given me a ticket by then (for expired inspection), and he told him to let me go. I was so pissed. I was in distress and kept telling him I needed to get to the hospital and he kept smirking and being sarcastic while the other guy stood in front of my car so I couldn't even move.

[@katlynroseanne]

Molly Weasley They just abused their position! You had a medical emergency and they acted like that! Honestly... (btw that’s a great username.)

[@nobilisvaga5267]

Cops will protect each other, but judges will force the department to punish him if you take action. In the case such as this video, that nurse could have taken legal action and got the police officer at least punished or she could have had his job. The only reason they get away with it is because no one applies pressure to ensure they do there job correctly. I should know I have had to do it in the past. When an officer thinks that he is right simply because no one has ever said he is wrong he would more easily beleave that it is because he is doing his job right. When usually the truth is further from the what he thinks.

[@jobseeker1612]

You should have called 911 immediately and asked for an ambulance at your location.

[@NB79032]

Job Seeker, I didn't have the money to have my car towed, and the hospital was the next exit. I'm sure he wouldn't have let me reach into my pocket for my phone, either.

[@NB79032]

Vincula of the End, unfortunately, judges rarely hear these cases unless someone gets hurt or it's on camera and had been shown to the public. Even then, they don't usually get in trouble.

[@rostaranto3883]

Poor nurse, she was only doing her job

[@steveforster7686]

As a fellow nurse I am 100% behind her behaviour. She acted with the interests of the patient in mind. Great Nurse xxxxxxx

[@deborahbeaudoinzaki8019]

As a RN for decades this is horrific! Nurses work their behinds off and most nurses get no retirement benefits, despite patients taking nurses' lifes in their hands daily!... I had patients toss chairs at me, bite me, etc! While cops get retirement and most do not require education for their jobs. This woman should sue this cop for assault.

[@john_hunter]

Notice how after being proven wrong he throws a fit and says "we're done here" he darts at her forcefully grabbing her then pulling her outside to his car? Absolutely disgusting. That man has no reason to be in any police force and should be charged with assault.

[@ingridmulder4984]

The police man should loose his job. And never get a job again.

[@eric79boz]

I'm Dutch and I really feel for this nurse and for every citizen in the US for that matter. The police culture in your country is HORRIFIC!! In the Netherlands this cop would be detained by his colleagues at the scene, would be fired and possibly face criminal charges. This is spinning out of control and I hope for your sake that you as citizens come together and make this a priority in your voting choice for the upcoming midterms and the next presidential election. These morons need to be stopped!

[@Overqualified1]

eric79boz Don't feel for these cocksuckers. They do it to themselves. People here are too busy putting energy into superficial shit that doesn't matter. It's gonna take more than this for these idiots to get it.

[@sabretooth9136]

eric79boz, it's the same here in Australia - a cop would NEVER get away with behaviour like that. The US looks like a violent, scary place from here.

[@QueenLioness84]

Marq Mac What you're saying is factually incorrect. We have a system that, intentionally, keeps people ignorant of their rights and you're generalizing 300 million people as well. None of this places you in a positive light or allow you to be perceived as well informed either. You should stop it. It's embarrassing.

[@ChristineFisher123]

I visited the Netherlands...it is a great country...wonderful people and tolerant laws. I shall go back one day.

[@KolorMeyellow]

Remember Trump telling cops to to not worry about injuring people during arrests? To rough it up? OK America, here you go.

[@richhouse4300]

Mmala. you are a lier, and this has nothing to do with trump, and this cop should be fired and pushed

[@QueenLioness84]

Rich House Actually, what Trump did say is "Don't worry about being to nice or rough with suspects." Do you're homework! And you're right. This situation has nothing to do with Trump. However, the climate isn't helped when those in the highest positions of authority cosign to bullshit like this. Just sayin'. Stop being so quick to defend Trump. Just face it. The stories and allegations coming out about Trump were mostly true before he got elected. America made a bad choice and now all of us are dealing with the consequences.

[@richhouse4300]

CrimsonButterfly. first I was not defending trump , I am upset that this chanel has sold out , they should be pissed off about bernie sanders getting cheated by the dems ,but instead they just push hrc after she stab them in the back , so they where for hrc the whole time, and lied to there vewers, and don't be so quick to attack trump, he was the best choice out of the 2 people, hrc is a cheat lier and criminal, and yes those are facts , and it's to eirly to juge trump yet + I think it's funny how they got red of my first post because they don't like the truth

[@serenafanlife4226]

The PO needs to be FIRED!!! FIRED and FIRED!!!!! As Nurses, we are mandated by HIPPA and we take an oath to protect a patient's right to privacy and right to dignity. Pt's have a right to refuse to any procedure, and we as Nurses have to respect a pt's right to refuse and legally, we have to respects a patient's rights. If, we did not follow HIPPA's rules and regulations...we as Nurses, can loose our licenses. Also, if a patient is NOT conscious, it is the Nurses obligation to protect that pt. Also, any invasive procedure such as, a blood draw needs a Doctor's order or a Court order that directs us to do the procedure. This PO literally, assaulted this Nurse.

[@michaelmorris2300]

[@phontex]

That police officer needs to be fired and then arrested himself. The nurse was right he assaulted her.

[@epbrown01]

If you look at the full video from one of the cop's body cameras, which includes Payne's boss talking to her in the car, two things are pretty clear: 1) they were fishing for some leverage on the victim of the accident to mitigate their liability. 2) They handcuffed and detained her as an intimidation tactic. They refused to talk to any of the higher-ups at the hospital because they knew they couldn't bully them into doing something illegal; the nurse was a softer target.

[@SergioSoaresRibeiro]

E Brown if that's true, it's even more serious. Still say that she was in restrains without cause. So, she.was kidnapped. That merits a penal accusation against cop and whomever took part in it, such as he's superior

[@epbrown01]

Check the other channels, the full vid is about 20 minutes. In that one, Payne's boss tells her that she should have just given them the sample and IF it turned out to be illegal (he KNOWS it is) it would "just be a civil action." Yeah, except she would be fired for violating hospital policy (and I doubt they'd give a damn) and on the hook for breaking the law. You can also hear him asking if anyone knows if the victim has a UT drivers license so they can do a background check. On the VICTIM in an accident?

[@NeoDragonCount]

As a guy living in a more socially stable country, I find how cops in the U.S. behave baffling.

That guy has been fired and will never have a job again. She also won a massive lawsuit as well I believe.

[@Dream_Hex]

Is there away to see that

[@neilforbes416]

The cop should be immediately SACKED and LOSE ALL HIS PENSION ENTITLEMENTS! PLUS, Anna Wubbels should sue the offier PERSONALLY, AND the Utah Police for wrongful arrest. Harsh treatment of a civilian simply doing her job should be met with EVEN HARSHER penalty for the offending officer. I hold that cop in utter contempt for what he's done.

[@iamedbytes]

Neil Forbes The patient is a cop. This was being done to protect him. No laws were being broken.

[@neilforbes416]

Laws were INDEED being broken by the way that nurse was being manhandled, and the fact that the patient was unconscious and not in a position to give consent to blood being taken FOR ANY REASON! Wheter the patient was a police officer or not. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER for the manner in which the nurse was treated. She should sue the Utah Police Force AND the Police officer involved.

[@Jugivadi]

I really felt her helplessness. It was gut wrenching. How did he get so out of control and insane. He has to be fired and banned from police work.

[@RepublicAgent]

Ehh it wasn't as bad as all that's been happening. For instance, dude saying he has a licensed weapon. That for me was the acme of all this nonsense. Now I don't feel anything.

[@andrewblakesley4178]

Wubbels ended up receiving a $500,000 settlement, and rightfully so. Detective Payne was fired. It’s this kind of ridiculous behavior by the detective, as well as other rogue officers, that gives all police officers a bad name.

[@hollybischoff7490]

Cop should be fired. What's wrong with that cop? He needs mental testing.

[@sawdust6148]

Police think they're above the law. This is assault! He should be fired and sued. This is ridiculous. Wtf has America come to

[@darylifillifill1677]

If That Cop does that in Front of People what do you think he'll do behind Doors

[@blueunicornhere]

If the victim was intoxicated it reduces police liability for the crash.

[@HeyImSupercoo]

Bruh idgaf i would have tackled that cop as soon as he started pulling on her and making her scream.....pisses me off

[@yuno567]

I love how all these blue live matters activist aren't saying that the nurse was resisting arrest.

[@N_Frazier]

The police department fears the unconscious patient or his/her family would sue their agency because the patient's injuries or potential death is a direct result of the police pursuit. I believe they wanted the blood draw to see if they could find ANY alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs in his/her system so they could try to hold the patient partially at fault for the accident. So sad Prayers for the patient.

[@jrh0814]

NICOLA FRAZIER so true

[@Rio-ke9he]

NICOLA FRAZIER oohh that makes sense

[@SomalianDuke]

OR might put drugs/alcohol in it, so he gets all the guilt.

[@Materva-hv6sz]

that clears it up. that must be exactly what that was about.

[@Love-be7sm]

Arrested for doing her job. Thats wrong.

[@tonyashores4550]

This nurse was scared to death no reason to take her of this was for sure kidnapping bottom line

[@sinyafel]

Nurse got 500K settlement and the officer was fired after manhandling her. According to NY Post and Washington post

[@genierudzinski2502]

Cookie Dough she's white

[@sinyafel]

Genie Rudzinski *eye-roll* yes, how perceptive. Gold star.

[@genierudzinski2502]

Cookie Dough I am 70 , I'm new to sociamedia , thank you for your kind welcome.

[@sinyafel]

Genie Rudzinski You're welcome.

[@scoobtube5746]

Let me guess. The city paid out the settlement, so not a cent of it came out of the cop's or police union's pocket? And the cop already has a new job in some other police department?

[@FukaiKokoro]

LAWSUIT!! She needs to sue the police department and that detective personally. That detective needs to be arrested for assault! We are NOT A POLICE STATE! UNACCEPTABLE!!

[@patrickday4206]

That cop should have been restrained physically by the hospital security!

[@mikecallahan8234]

The cop should have been arrested. Like the lady in the video says, "Police State". The French resistance knew how to deal with the Nazi Police State.

[@datchigaming1591]

This is the most corrupt thing I've ever seen. Unnatural aggression from the officer out of nowhere... This old man needs to be fired and replaced.

[@kevincharbonneau5953]

that was an assault. plain and simple
