Utah police reveal patient defended by heroic nurse was a cop

[lapfog_1]

19. most likely the cop didn't yet know

that the victim was also a reserve officer (off-duty driving trucks?)

He just wanted the nurse to violate policy by drawing the blood of an unconscious victim without the victim's consent and without a warrant. He got pissed when the nurse wouldn't cooperate because of the stated (and legal) policy.

She was actually on her cell phone to someone (hospital administrator?) and another person on staff was attempting to defuse the situation by telling the officer that someone from the hospital administration was "on their way".

Cops are bullies with badges... almost universally. They do NOT like it when people stand up to them.
