Yes, some police officers definitely abuse their job and take advantage of others. This situation disgusts me too, but I heard on the news that the officer has been suspended and I hope he gets terminated for the offense. Wubbels was very respectful and explained the situation just as she had to. There was no call for what that officer did to her. None at all, and I say this as someone who has two cousins who are cops and who would never do something like that to anybody.

SOME police let their authority go to their heads. This is not normal despite the medias attempt to say it is... I hate MSM.... their goal is to SELL and make money. War, unrest and all that people fear sells great. Truth however, not so much.

Good on her for knowing what was right and standing her ground. I'm sure the authoritarians out there would like to argue that this guy might have been a bad hombre the cops needed to get off the street, but there's no defending this one.
The man in her care was victim of a high speed chase that was against regulation. The perp (now dead) crashed into this totally innocent truck driver and the cops were praying that he had SOMETHING in his system to cover their asses. Pretty unscrupulous. You make a great point. There are far more good cops out there than thugs like these. No reason to turn on our law enforcement officers just because the news likes to showcase the worst among them. |

Generally speaking, if you are polite & go along with standard procedure, it should go just fine. Of course, sometimes, people who have no place on the force get a badge, but there's way more good than bad. That said, this particular cop is a real asshole, & should be punished through the proper channels.

The saying "A few bad apples ruins the bunch" takes into consideration that it's a minority of the group making the whole group look bad, so there's no need for the redundant #notallcops.
We know it's not all cops. The officers who just stood on by and did nothing, in order to present unity i the field, are accessories to his behavior. Kappa's right, they should be disciplined. They won't be, but they should be. And this Bad Cop shouldn't have a badge, but I'm willing to bet he'll be disciplined and get to keep his job. After being suspended with pay. People who can't do the job, shouldn't be allowed to do the job. This guy is crap at his job, and I hope the nurse sues his pants off.

Definitely agree with Maczaps and Nines here. The media often says that law enforcement is bad when it is only a select few who abuse their position while others are out there doing their job and helping and protecting the streets. I have a very healthy respect for cops because two of my cousins are cops and are probably the greatest guys any of you will know.
