Salt Lake City, UT —
Alex Wubbels said she couldn't believe what was happening.

"This is crazy. This is crazy. Why is he so angry?" she is heard on body camera video, nearly in tears, as she is being arrested by Salt Lake police detective Jeff Payne.

Wubbels was working her shift as a charge nurse, or a liaison between patients and doctors and hospital managers, at University Hospital's Burn Unit when she was handcuffed in the middle of her work area, pulled outside and put into a police patrol car for about 20 minutes.

See the video the in the player above for body camera video of the incident.

She was arrested after refusing to give Payne vials of blood that he needed for an investigation because she said he did not have a warrant or meet any of the mandatory criteria needed for taking blood.

Wubbels was later released and no charges were ever filed against her. But now, Wubbels and her attorney, Karra Porter, want the public to hear her story and see the disturbing body camera video.

THis LEO should be fired. For God's sakes of course you have to have a warrant.

That cop couldn't be more wrong. His response to her reasoned explanation of policy was unwarranted.

She's white so this isn't important. We can't do anything political with this. Sorry.

Stay woke.

You just want to drive home a point. a bunch of "alt lefters" and activist have been championing this girl.

Why are you always looking for grievances?

This is being covered all over so don't say we can't do anything. It is the lead story on the Washington Post website.

at some point, we need to round up all the cops that have done dumb shite and let them all spend 20-life with bubba and his gang.

Three things need to happen

1) The cop needs to be suspended pending an IA review which should be swift.

2) The cop needs to be arrested - false imprisonment, violation of 4th amendment rights and 14 th amendment issues and arraigned in criminal court

3) The hospital and the nurse need to pursue civil charges against the PD.

You have a non involved third party following long established procedure not just in SLC but nationwide and a law enforcement officer violating those procedural norms and KNOWING he is violating those norms.

Didn't he realize there would be an admissibility issue with blood taken by force?

Nothing will happen to shite head cops like this guy until we get rid of qualified immunity, get rid of the police bill of rights and make them live by the same rules everyone else does and make them carry insurance for things like this.

Warrant? Warrant? We don't need no stinking warrant!



Cops acting above the law? That's crazy talk.

The officer received an unlawful order from a superior. It was an unlawful arrest and an unlawful seizure.

Write a check and move on. Fortunately, nobody was injured during the altercation. Deal with the officers with disciplinary action.
