Followup on that idiot with a badge in Utah

Hours after Salt Lake City’s mayor and police chief apologized for an officer handcuffing a hospital nurse who refused to take blood from an unconscious patient, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill announced Friday he wanted a criminal investigation into the episode.

“On the face of the evidence, there is concern that is raised about this officer’s conduct,” Gill said in a Friday interview. “But the whole point of an investigation is to gather the information about this situation.”

Gill said he discussed the situation with Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Chief Mike Brown on Friday morning, and they agreed it would be appropriate to conduct an investigation in the name of ”transparency and institutional accountability.”
No shit?   Let's hope it's not just that officer, but also the supervisor who told him to do this, even after it was pointed out that it was illegal.

And the nurse should get the detective's and his supervisor's retirement to settle the false arrest and arrogant crap they threw at her.
