Whipping like wildfire across the internet late Thursday evening is arguably one of the more shocking incidents of brute force displayed by law enforcement in the United States – indeed, a rare characterization, given American policing’s interminable list of killings, beatings, corruption, lies, and general misbehavior – because, this time, the subject of a bully cop’s strong-arm tactics was a nurse.
A nurse, just doing her job.
The nurse, Alex Wubbels, doing her job in Salt Lake City’s University Hospital, tried to protect an unconscious patient from having their blood drawn without their ability to consent or refuse, by the order of Salt Lake City Police Detective Jeff Payne – whose demands unequivocally violated her employer’s strict policy against drawing blood from unconscious patients without warrant, prior consent, or unless the patient is under arrest – which would have supplanted said rule.
‘I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do,’ Wubbels told the detective on the July 26th video, released late Thursday by the Salt Lake Tribune.
