I have been taking part in a local FB discussion with nurses and law enforcement about this incident. I am a retired RN. The law enforcement people seem to be bragging about what a good relationship there is locally with law and hospitals. The nurses comment that she knew her job, protected her patient and his rights. I pretty much just said he was wrong and she was right and that he reacted with anger when his power was threatened.

He and that guy in Cobb County GA do not belong in law enforcement.
