Press Conference: New Protocol for Officer/Hospital Staff Interaction - October 12, 2017

[@dk6173]

First sentence from the police chief should have been an apology.

[@CoCojoy420]

I know right.

[@celiajane4250]

I quit watching after the first quarter of the video. I was expecting an apology from the police, and a guarantee that the officer would be fired, and all others investigated for allowing this nurse to be abused. He just plain attacked her, as she was calmly trying to explain why she couldn't do what he was asking her to do. This has nothing to do with police/nurse relations, or police policies, or whatever. That officer ATTACKED that nurse for no reason.

[@FlatFifties]

If there was not a video, the cops would have stuck to the standard "we followed established procedures" line, and no one would have been held accountable.

It was the LAW. The only reason the University Hospital had to dumb it down to a memo is because cops don't even know the law.

[@sophieloves7092]

Checking in with security first is not why this happened, cops thinking they can just force searching blood or hospital records was the problem here!

[@demonpride1975]

yep i mean there is a fine line doing your job as an officer of the law, then thinking you can do whatever you want, hospital patient confidentiality is a fundamental guarantee, and that officer violated that mans rights, and nurse wubbles 100%, i am so glad he was fired. it should have been made clear that any officer doing that would be fired instantly. i will never understand how these officers spout thee are upholding the constitution, but have zero idea how much sway the 4th amendment has in court.

Actually Kumar and Skippy she was given an apology learn your facts first

[@denisek292]

When Nurse Alex Wubbels protected her patient, it wasn’t just because of hospital policy. Nurses are bound by ethics. She has an ethical responsibility keeping all patient’s information confidential. Crossing that line is enough for state boards to strip a nurse of his/her license. If a police officer is assigned to work with nurses, they, too, must be required to attend the exact class required of nurses. If not, the same scenario Wubbels suffered, will only be the beginning.

[@mosesgutierrez7602]

Some police have no ethics

[@2dronetek2]

Exactly.

[@hogwild9408]

She was arrested, she was assaulted, illegally detained, and could say kidnapped by a thug. Not a police officer, a thug. This one instance defined this officer. Hundreds of good deeds will not make up for the one bad. Ask a officer if a good driver with zero offense excuses the one time he/she get caught speeding. No will be the answer. This dog and pony show will not stop bad cops from being bad.

[@russellruffin368]

She was arrested by a police officer

[@diegosuarez1563]

There was already a good policy in place. Payne ignored it and the law. Never heard the chief say the next cop to break the policy or law is fired.

[@78.BANDIT]

You may not get rich but you make a very good living. And cops unlike nurses are there to enforce laws and arrest. Nurses are there to help and keep their patients safe and keep their medical records secure. That Cop wanted her to break the law because he the cop wanted something. When she said no, I can't do that. He got pissed because she didn't do what he wanted. Sadly, this happens a lot with cops.

[@Brightstarlivesteam]

What is the point of agreeing a new protocol, when the LEOs ignored the existing agreed protocol? The Police will just ignore it again, when it suits them. As the lieutenant, told the Nurse, we can at illegally and you can contest it in court. What they are forgetting is that this cost money, which the cops will never have to pay or suffer the consequences off!

How about a Chicago equivalent in Finland? The police in the US are not perfect but to compare their job to police officers in small homogeneous communities is apples and oranges.

Nursing is a great profession that is lucrative, they are not cut from the same cloth. I was upset by the behavior of that police officer who traumatized Alex.

I watched this awful arrest when the video went viral on the internet!! I cannot believe that these officers are still employed!!

This would have never happened in the UK 🇬🇧.......!! They are all stuttering to make their excuses!!

I heard no apology, just we changed a policy that was broken by a policeman that was "stressed" that wasn't broken...he was making his own law...

[@Inkironnrum]

The first question by the media to the chief of police was very well stated. Training the officers to adhere to the hospitals legal right and responsibility to follow patient care and privacy protocol already in place appears to be lacking. The chief became defensive with his response. 8 minutes in and I haven’t heard an apology from the chief.

[@nageeb96]

corrupt police and big ego is the problem

[@kirkboswell2575]

This is all well and good as far as it goes. Nurses and LEO's must indeed be able to work together. This policy is good as far as improving the interaction between medical personnel and LEO's. BUT it SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN NECESSARY! There was already a policy in place that covered the situation. A policy that the arresting officer's own department had been involved in the drafting of. He was advised of that policy AND that it was approved by his own department. The hospital administrator was also contacted and he also told the arresting officer what was required. So, we have established policy, covering the exact situation, and approved by hospital AND department officials. There was a choice by the officer to ignore everything and arrest the person preventing what he wanted. This is false arrest any way you want to look at it. What I would like to see now, is the arresting officer charged with "patient endangerment" for removing a licensed caregiver from caring for an unconscious patient without ensuring the proper transfer of care to another licensed caregiver. That's what I would like to see now.

[@donaldgannon6294]

You know I can't believe the first chief officer had the audacity to say that we share the same field because it's nothing remotely the same. Nurses doctors and medical assistance took it ethical oath to defend protect and to protect the rights of their patients regardless if it's something they don't agree with their patients but they still respect that because it's that persons right to choose. They bring people back to life if it's that serious they mean the breaking bone and the assist on burns and bruises. Now the cops on the other hand, they put a gun on their hip and a badge on their chest and they think they're Above the Law and everybody else is beneath them when he has no more rights than I do to put his hands on me or anybody for that matter as he did Alex and I pray for that woman for her loyalty dedication and sacrifice for her patient. But as I was saying, the cops and I'm not judging all cops but within this country there's at least half the police force in this country or corrupt psychopathic with a very drenalin aggressive attitude and they demand you to do what they say to do when you have that right and you don't have to do what they say to do if you have not broken any laws and you can look all this up when it comes to your amendments and your constitutional rights, but when it comes to them instead of helping people and being what they were hired to do as protect and serve and to be peace officers not police officers because we don't need to be policed as human beings especially Americans in this country but when it comes to them throw the ones breaking the bones that the hospital nurses and doctors have to put back together they're the ones bringing people back to life because of a gunshot wound they did to a suspect for no apparent reason in the medical community are the ones banjan up all the bruises and scratches that the police officers put on there so call suspects with a gressive force and with prejudice.! No I don't care what day and officer has Karma he has no right whatsoever to put his hand on any human being or to extort money from them Rob them or imprison them for crimes that they haven't even committed as they write up some bogus charges so they can arrest people that they don't like. now I'm not saying everybody they rest is innocent because that's far from the truth but there are people who have fell victim to police officers Wrath because he's bullying them and pumping his chest in intimidation and aggressiveness and threatening so that they can go home and feel better about being themselves. There's no way in person man or woman should have that type of Authority or right to carry a gun in the badge that has a temperamental problem or maybe mentally insane because he can't handle insults or he can't handle a citizen know more about the wall than he does, but if a cop can't control his emotions when he's in the field he does not deserve a badge a gun or the fact to overseer and have authority over somebody else. if they learn to ask people to do something instead of demanding and telling them to do something, maybe they'll see it will go a whole lot easier than being an ass whole. God bless you Alex and I hope you can get over this because I know you might have fears when it comes to Cops now because of what this a****** did to you. just make sure you learn the law and your rights and protect yourself with intelligence because if they violate those rights they should be brought up on criminal charges as well as lose their job and the department County and/or state gets sued because of their actions and aggressive behavior and the lack of consideration and safety for others.

Well I say no more! I will do everything in my power to try and make a change at least a start in my community and WE THE PEOPLE can make a change, there’s strength in numbers people, but we all have to stop being couch advocates and put feet in the street, the constitution is made for us it’s time we start making law enforcement honor their oath to it! It’s easy to voiceover opinion here and a day later go about our business and say “ boy I’m glad that didn’t happen to me” but what if one day it does or to our love one then I bet we do something about it. I would like to see what we dish out in salaries to cops every year ! Every video I see of abusive cops there’s never just 1 at a seen always 2-3-4 or more for a minor traffic offense, so if this many cops have nothing better to do than to rush over to intimidate and that’s exactly what it is intimidation then there needs to be some thinning of the force. Sorry for the rant I’m just upset at what these cops did to this nurse, my sister is a er nurse and know what she goes though everyday and to have a fucking pig like this pig YES PIG NOT A COP IN MY BOOK do to her what he did if I were there jail or no jail that cop would’ve picking up his teeth after he laid 1 finger on her! Exactly what the security should of done! Pussys! They should of took her to a private office and locked the door behind them I’m done now sorry again for the rant! And if the nurse should happen to read this my heart goes out to you and so sorry you had to go through this, I hope you sued the shit out of that cop shop! And if you can do anything on a personal level to that cop that laid hands on you I would do that also! Use this instance as a learning one , do everything to the fullest so no one will consider ever doing this to another nurse! God Bless all & Be Safe!

As soon as they do something like that without your consent that is considered assault and sexual assault . You can file a lawsuit and win. I know of a couple of cases where the people filed and won. So have their badges taken and licenses revokes for everyone involved in the case. When a police officer does not know the laws that he or she have sworn to protect then that person should have his or her badge and weapons removed and should be prosecuted for any and all damages or harm they may have caused while they were sworn in to enforce the laws that have been set for the United States of America.

He seems to be under duress ( stress)) wonder why they never do no wrong.

This guy is supposed to be a leader the chief of police there is no reason a nurse doing her job should have been treated like that at all. This so called chief is making excuses from the very beginning whoever was calling the shots on the police officer side that they should be terminated!!

[@ernestclements7398]

Because we are dedicated to service is it any wonder that so many cops and firemen are married to nurses?

[@angelespiricueta2661]

Was there an underlying agenda by these officers reguarding this particular patient? Has the Salt Lake City pd explored the potential of a criminal motive by the two main officers involved? In the video released! Did they have an interest in that case? Figure out why they went awry?

[@copper4441]

They were trying to get the responsibility of the accident off them they were chasing a guy in a pickup truck that hit this guy head on

[@Ok-551]

This chief failed. He had a month to think about his words. No wonder his employees are thugs.

You are wrong Nursing is caring consolation,They provide a shoulder to cry Whereas the police is you are guilty until proven innocent There is no comparison

The nurse looked to the policy ! The police said they don't care, draw the blood or I will arrest you!
