This Guy Should Not be a Cop
« on: July 15, 2022, 09:41:27 PM »
While some information may be missing, the video from inside the hospital seems indisputable:

https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2022/07/15/watch-rochester-police-officer-under-investigation-after-arresting-an-emt-worker-inside-a-hospital/

Basically:

1) Cop apparently parks his car in an ambulance bay.
2) An ambulance rolls in with a patient, and an EMT hits the cop's door while she is opening her door.
3) Cop apparently insists she immediately provide an ID (For what what? I'm sure contact info is painted on the ambulance).
4) EMT refuses to stop treating her patient and takes the patient into the hospital.
5) Cop enters hospital and arrests EMT while she is treating her patient.

This is not someone who should be a cop. Firing him seems more appropriate than administrative punishment.

Charge the cop with whatever you'd charge any shmoe who just walked up and started interfering with life saving medical action.  Attempted murder of the patient might be a stretch but the logical progression is there.

What ever happened to the cops that violently arrested the nurse that refused to perform an illegal blood draw?

I may be remembering wrong but I don't think it was much of anything.

nurse wubble got a 500,000 dollar payout/cop got "fired" and apparently claims "not my fault"
I'm not sure of how it ended, he probably works for another agency

lots of NY agencies are like this, being a cop and being above the law is a very common sentimentality - good leadership is rare.
My brother is an LT -  about 20 yrs ago he and a bunch of other cops tried real hard to simply give a dui cop from another agency a ride home - but he attacked them/punched and kicked and I'm pretty sure he was the only cop in 30 yrs he had to arrest

He is no longer a police officer. I don't remember if he was fired or if he was allowed to retire.

I think the nurse got a sizeable check from the municipality.

Reminds me of a story I heard on the radio of a cop who pulled a guy over for speeding - the guy showed that he was a volunteer fire fighter heading towards the station in response to a call, but the cop wasn't impressed and went out of his way to delay him further. Without him, they didn't have a full crew, so the response of the VFD was delayed.

The rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say** . . . is that it turned out the fire was the cop's own house, which ended up burning down completely because HE delayed the response.

Big stink - cop tried to argue that it was the volunteer fireman's fault that he - the cop - delayed the response. That didn't play very well in that town.


** - it was a long time ago and it may have actually BEEN Paul Harvey with this story . . . or maybe not.

I'm wore out telling people about bad cops are generally the result of the Libtards forcing police departments to hire according to race and gender.  Did away with height requirements, weight requirements, dumbed down the testing and physical abilities testing and training mostly out the window.  When you are forced to hire cops that shouldn't be cops in the first place, how can you be surprised with what happens because of it?  Set some high standards for who should be cops and you'll have better results.  Doesn't matter what color, gender, race etc you are.  Meet the standards, get the job.

And of course Libtards never admit they are wrong about anything...they just double down.  The double downing is causing all the good police officers to leave for greener pastures because of it.  In my town they are crucifying a good cop for shooting a piece of dreck who did not cooperate when pulled over...and in the ensuing dreck caused violence, the officer lost control of his stun gun, (that didn't work twice on the dreck) and had to shoot the piece of dreck to avoid losing control of his gun due to a stun, who had warrants for car theft, failures to appear, A&B against a woman, 3 DUI's and his BAC was .29.  The DA who is cowtowing to threats from the State Atty Gen and the local radicals charged him with 2nd degree murder.

 Videos show the officer losing the struggle...but how dare he tell the drunken felon to submit and lay hands on him when he tried to run away.   Now the Libtards, Marxists and Racial baiters are demanding the PD get defunded by 50% and threatening anyone who disagrees as well as shutting down city weekly meetings with yelling and threats.  2/3 of the City council, mayor and the city manager are all lefties.

Murder is up by 100%, 3 mass shootings, one last night that wounded 4 downtown, other violent crime up, B&Es up, Car theft is an epidemic. etc etc etc.  Our really cool downtown area with a lot of great attractions is now a war zone at night.  That's the cop's fault of course, because they only have enough staff on duty to assign 2 officers down there.

"I'm wore out telling people about bad cops are generally the result of the Libtards forcing police departments to hire according to race and gender. "

Washington, DC, in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

They were under a DC court mandate to hire, and they ended up hiring a huge number of people who already had criminal records, or people who went rogue once they got the gun and badge. That was also around the time they switched to Glocks, but virtually eliminated firearms training, meaning officers were carrying guns they didn't know how to use. The rise in "accidental" shootings was spectacular. The rise in lawsuit payouts was incredible.

I notice their FacePlace page has the message "Rochester Police Department limited who can comment on this post." do I remember correctly that courts have ruled government entities don't get the luxury of restricting comments on their social media posts? That is, unless they turned off comments from Day 1 and are simply proceeding similarly, or are making edits to remove threats of violence or criminal behavior?
