I'm pretty sure no SANE person will argue with you if you tell them that unjust law enforcement actions are getting WAY out of hand; especially if you back your assertions up with two or three incriminating YouTube videos which catch law enFORCERS acting in the role of "CRIMINAL with a costume, badge and a gun"...oh and with the "authority of the state" whatever-the-hell THAT means.
There is a growing sense in the United States that police have become too powerful and too unaccountable. Of course, (as I addressed in a previous Steemit article/video) the latest manifestation of this came about when a nurse in Salt Lake City, Alex Wubbels, refused to draw the blood of an unconscious emergency room patient on the orders of Detective Jeff Payne. Wubbels explained that she was only permitted to draw blood if the police had a warrant, the patient were under arrest or the patient gave his consent.
Payne responded like a man who rarely hears the word "no," and a full-blown incident ensued. Both the detective and the nurse were in communication with their superiors throughout, and Payne ultimately admitted that none of the necessary preconditions for a blood draw were met. Nonetheless he insisted, saying, "I either go away with blood in vials or a body in tow." Wubbels stood her ground and Payne promptly arrested her for "interfering."
In the days that followed, Payne and another officer were placed on leave (that's code for "paid vacation"), and Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Police Chief Mike Brown issued apologies (but if you watch their "apology," it looks like they're just sorry they got caught looking more stupid and authoritarian than usual). As you can imagine, talking heads came at the topic from every angle. But an important question remains unaddressed: How should police be held accountable to the public they serve?
