‘I was scared to death… I feel betrayed’ – Utah nurse arrested for protecting patient

Alex Wubbels, the nurse who was attacked by a policeman for doing her job and falsely arrested, is now speaking out about her experience.

Watch below:

Here’s another appearance:

She says that she was afraid of the police officer from the beginning, and that he was agitated and upset.

There is a lot of speculation about this case, but there’s an interesting account that explains why he was so angry.

I’ll just type it out from here, it’s easier to read that way.

“Also, the Supreme Court decision holding it unconstitutional to draw blood w/o consent or warrant came down last year. The cop…Is a trained phlebotomist in the police blood draw unit. There is *no way* he was unaware of a SCOTUS case that directly controlled his work.”

“So this is incredible in that its actually worse than the video shows–it’s criminal abuse of power in at least three ways.”

“Oh, and dept reviewed video w/in 12 hrs, did nothing til it went viral. If you think he’s just a rogue cop, you’re not paying attention.”

“Turns out, victim was off duty Idaho cop. Nurse Wubbels was arrested for protecting an unconscious officer from abuse by another officer.”

“Strategy is to use anything the victim did wrong to muddy the water & dissuade civil suit. In some cases, victim is entirely precluded…from winning if he is also negligent (“contributory neg”), or reduces $ recovery by % (“comparative neg”). Most decide it’s not worth it.”

This is all just speculation, but it makes a whole lot of sense, doesn’t it?
