Bien-Aime said she told the officers she had to call her supervisor first before letting them in a secure area. Minutes later, she handed one officer the phone with her supervisor on the line.
"When she got on the phone all she said was 'we fixing to bust one of your nurses,'" Bien-Aime said. In the video, an officer is seen reaching over the door, unlocking it and running toward her. The other officers follow suit and in seconds, they threw her to the ground and she was handcuffed. Then, two officers dragged her out of the nurse station and one of the officers hit her on the back. View Quote |

As far as I can tell SummitRidge Hospital is a private mental health care facility. Did the cops have a warrant?

What. The. Fuck.
They were there to arrest a patient for a crime they did not witness. No warrant for arrest. Nurse says she needs to get her supervisor. They face-plant her and arrest her. All the officers should be fired. Officer Fat-Ass P. Sugarcookie needs to be charged with assault and battery. |

Isolated incident. I'm sure the nurse wasn't properly reverential 'n stuff. Don't know the whole story, but this may have been a meeting of two opposing alpha "males". Some nurses are as bad as JBT cops when it comes to them demanding respect and being territorial on their turf. Not excusing the cop..... just saying. (the above opinions comes from a 40 y.o. male nurse who works with WAY too many alpha female/bitchy female nurses).

Oh dear! There has got to be more to this story! My wife was driving 14 over in a notorious speed trap area, got lit up, and the cop noticed her uniform. "Nah... not even gonna write you a warning. I might see you at work sometime later on. Please slow down."

They like us and we like them. That video is all kinds of fucked up. What kind of hospital is this that 5 uniformed police officers can make it all the way to the nurse's station at 2am without attracting the attention of hospital security, the OA, and a gaggle of nurses and RTs? |

Hope the nurse is ok.

The arrest report states that an officer left the hospital and returned with an arrest warrant. On the other hand, the report doesn't mention anything about a phone call with the nurse's supervisor (which clearly happened as it's on the video). edited to add: it's a mental hospital. One of the male patients groped one of the female patients. |

So the patient was in (presumably) a lock down ward?
Any reason the Police couldn't wait for (or call for) a nursing supervisor? Barring them having a reasonable suspicion that the person they were there to arrest was going to assault someone else...they weren't going anywhere. (And I acknowledge that we only have the plantiff's side of the story as presented by her lawyer...who has a vested financial interest in how the story is spun). If the Police from a different department had shown up at your jail with an arrest warrant for a current prisoner, would you be justified in checking on protocol? Would they be justified in doing the same thing as they did to the nurse to you? |

A nurse? A cop? Handcuffs?
Rough sex. Somebody forgot the "safe word". Nothing to see here, move on. |

As long as all of the officers involved went home safe and didn't feel threatened, that's all that matters. Only the best wear the badge, only the best.

No right to delay the officers attempting to serve an arrest warrant. The nurse should be charged with obstruction.

Wow. How about, "Alright, you go ahead and call your supervisor. Where's the coffee pot? We'll wait on her."?
How does it seem like a good idea to man handle a nurse at the desk? All five of them needs to be to fired, and charged appropriately. |

i'll just toss this out there...
she didn't play the race card. hmm. not saying she's in the right just saying she didn't resort to playing it. |

I think I probably would've approached that in a different manner.

In.
Link to the incident report. The video shows the female officer take the phone and speak into it. From the info in the article, it certainly looks like the nurse was not obstructing at all, but simply following the rules she was trained to follow. That she put officers in contact with her supervisor tells me that she was working with the police. Of course, the incident report leaves all of this out and just lists a bunch of accusations of her speaking to them in a tone that they didn't appreciate. It's interesting to watch video of the incident, then read how the responding officers wrote it up. A lot of those guys could have shining careers in mainstream journalism, or at least make a good go of reporting for the Weekly World News. I imagine that, had Officer Twitchy not let himself into the room and decked the nurse, the police could have simply talked to the supervisor, left with their suspect and allowed a freaking hospital to operate according to its protocols. Instead, all five officers, who were sent to pick up a suspected sexual criminal, decided to create and arrest another criminal instead of doing what they came to the hospital to do. Brilliant police work. |

for those of you who don't want to watch a tiny video (note... advertisement before the video. is that the "Meow" guy from SuperTroopers?) |

Cause you wouldnt want all people to judge gun owners by the actions of the psychos that shoot up schools right? Not all cops are bad, but some definitely are. |

View Quote Even when the target of the warrant is already in a secure detention facility, and the delay is to get a supervisor to okay letting the cops into the secure facility? If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the administrative rules of the state of GA require her to notify the on-duty director before letting anyone in. If that's "obstruction"... |

Seems pretty straight forward. Officers there to serve warrant or investigate a serious felony and nurse obstructs and impedes their ability. Then flees to nurses station and locks herself inside. I'm confident they warned her repeatedly and it sounds like tried to reason with her but she didn't get it. So she goes to jail and being that we can't see all of the video, it wouldn't surprise me if her resisting had a great deal with her being tasered. Hospital policy does not trump state law.
But please don't let logic and common sense impair the anti-cop gang bang which is GD. |

No right to delay the officers attempting to serve an arrest warrant. The nurse should be charged with obstruction. View Quote Your statement is too stupid to be the law. If she took 30 seconds to process the request in her brain, look at the warrant and buzz them in, is that an arrestable offense? After all, she did delay them by 30 seconds, which under your rule would be arrestable. I think the standard is probably whether the delay was unreasonable given the circumstances. Making them wait a couple minutes while she called a supervisor isn't what most people would call unreasonable, especially when the person being arrested is in a locked mental facility and isn't going anywhere. |

Two things.....one I worked part time at a state mental facility. Hospital policy was that all officers had to contact security and campus police prior to coming to arrest any of our patients. They were required to be escorted by Campus PD before entering patient care areas. And our nursing staff and security would bring the patient to "secure" (out of patient common areas) area to be placed under arrest.
Two, if that was my wife that was treated like that I would own that police department. |

I do question the method that her arrest was affected though. What ever happened to "you're under arrest, turn and face away placing your hands behind your back"...... There just seems to be a whole lot of dynamic arrests going on lately.....I wasn't there but if I was on a jury, based on the video, I'd be hard pressed not view this as brutality. |
