Utah Detective Who Violently Arrested Nurse In Viral Video Loses Ambulance Job
RT ^ | 09/05/17

Posted on 09/05/2017 7:40:11 PM PDT by Enlightened1

The Salt Lake City police detective who arrested nurse Alex Wubbels for not allowing police to draw blood from an unconscious patient has been fired from his part-time paramedic job with Gold Cross Ambulance Service. Payne was placed on paid administrative leave from his full-time job as an officer with the Salt Lake City Police Department after a video of the arrest went viral. In a separate video recorded after the arrest, Payne asked another officer how the incident would affect his part-time position with the ambulance company. Payne bragged that he could retaliate against the hospital by only bringing them “transients,” adding that he would “take good patients elsewhere.” Gold Cross posted a statement on Facebook on Tuesday that said they took Payne’s “inappropriate remarks regarding patient transports seriously” and announced Payne’s termination was “effective immediately.”

This guy is going to lose his family and friends and live in his car.

Just like the @-hole who berated a Chik-Fil-A drive-in attendent.

The most important thing is NOT that he was bad:

It’s that sooooo many will remain silent or will actively STICK UP for him.

THAT. Is the important thing.

Ah, brilliant. Well-played. Well, maybe not “well” but “played”. (insert Game Over sound)

That had to be the dumbest move by a CFO ever.

Payne bragged that he could retaliate against the hospital by only bringing them “transients,” adding that he would “take good patients elsewhere.”

And what if the best care or the quickest care would be at this hospital? Would he drag the patient to another hospital anyway? This is gross abuse of his position as a paramedic, and we've seen him in action as a cop - this guy really needs an attitude adjustment before he's ever allowed to work in either role ever again.

He is the poster face for someone who has no business being a cop. He’s a disgrace to the badge he wears.

Her experience was like an episode of The Twilight Zone, where nothing at all makes sense except that you know you’re in great danger. The phrase Kafkaesque comes to mind. That phrase is from a novel written by Frank Kafka about a man who is put on trial for a crime that is never quite revealed.

Correct. Meant to clarify post to #3, and maintain continuity.
What is your point?

Hey as long as he doesn’t argue with his own post, it works.

It’s worse if he loses an argument with himself.

Or, if he says to himself: STOP pinging me!

BTW, did anybody ping Arthur McGowan? (little blast from the past)

No, not actually trying to revive it, LOL.

What could make this case even worse, if that’s possible?
The fact that the nurse, Alex Wubbels is an American Olympian! She competed in ski events during Winter Olympics in 1998 and 2000.
