Hospital has stopped cops from interacting with medical staff. That will now be handled by hospital administrative personnel only. Actions have consequences.

Re: ER nurse illegally detained?

I'm always curious in situations like this: what would have been the outcome if there was no video? What if it were just an old fashioned "he said/she said." That's just a rhetorical question, BTW. I'm pretty confident of what the outcome would have been without video.

I just don't understand why this kind of stuff (police misconduct) seems to keep happening over and over and over. Yes, I know there are thousands of police/citizen interactions every day that are done correctly, with courtesy and professionalism. Yet, we continue to see these kinds of events frequently. Why? Lack of training? Lack of pride in professionalism? Habit because they get away with this kind of behavior most of the time? Stress? Emotional fatigue from dealing with certain types of people so often?

Maybe what we really need is an unbiased, in-depth study to find out the root causes of why this kind of thing happens. Maybe if we knew WHY, then maybe we could fix the problem. Because this is definitely a problem, IMHO.
