The Utah police have issued an apology after a video went viral of one of their own assaulting a nurse after she refused to draw blood from a patient who was unconscious at the University Hospital. The incident is alleged to have occurred at the end of July and the video shows the nurse, Alex Wubbels (above in blue), being arrested by officer Jeff Payne.
When watching the video you can see the moment that the officer seemed to have had enough is when the superior of Wubbels tells him that he is making "a big mistake," to which Payne responds by making it even worse and illegally detaining the nurse.
The police department claims that an investigation has been launched into the incident and they"ve issued an apology to the hospital.Many people have called for Payne to be placed on leave, to be fired, and/or to receive some psychological evaluation. Someone who appears to be that mentally unstable is probably not well suited to be in such a position of authority.
