SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill has requested the FBI’s assistance in the investigation into the arrest of a Utah nurse who refused to allow a blood draw from an unconscious patient without following proper procedure. In a statement released Thursday, Gill said his office officially requested the FBI investigate: “any and all individuals involved in the chain of conduct arising from the incident at the University of Utah Hospital on July 26, 2017 for any Civil Rights Violations under the color of authority.” Gill said he requested the FBI’s help due to events beyond a mere criminal investigation.

I am inclined to be merciful to the cop and the watch supervisor once they have admitted wrongdoing, and once police supporters stop trying to justify this abuse of authority by these two men. As long as they and their allies defend the indefensible, then it is necessary that they be aggressively prosecuted criminally and civilly, with maximum penalties sought for abuse of authority, false arrest and other crimes. If they admit they were wrong and admit they exceeded their authority, publicly, then I am willing to let them get on with their lives. The supervisor could even keep his job, according to me - he'll never make that mistake again. But if they won't admit they were wrong, if they defend what they did are are unrepentant and adamant about having had the authority to do that and acted properly, then as far as I am concerned they can both be burnt to death for their crimes. No mercy.
I'm not. Your sympathy is misplaced. Both have undoubtedly sent people to jail or prison, ruined lives, for doing less than what they tried to do.
They won't apologize, so I say burn them alive.
You're confusing me. One post, burn them. Next post, forgive them if they apologize. Next post, burn 'em. You need to pick one and stick with it. : ) The political heat in SLC must be off the charts for them to bring in the FBI. They're probably wishing they could have a nice regular hurricane like Houston did instead of that cursed Nurse Wubbells showing up on TV or the internet every 5 minutes. LOL
Come to think of it..."Burn them all!" - Aerys II
The next thing, some angry mob of Mormon schoolchildren will boo the mayorette and the city council will commit hari-kari. Normally, the Mormons are a pretty passive lot, closely resembling well-tended dairy animals. But those Mormons have their titties in a wringer over Nurse Wubbels. LOL. How many people still recall what the phrase 'titty in a wringer' actually means. Damn, that's funny. : ) When I was very small, my mom still had a washer that looked like this one, down to the red warning bar on the wringer.
We had a gasoline engine powered one on the farm, that had been upgraded to Briggs & Stratton. That about doubled the danger factor.
My mom couldn't have started that gas engine and my dad wouldn't have trusted her with it. Hers was all-electric. Probably late Fifties or very early Sixties model. Hers did not have the lid on the basin. I recall the drain hose (no stopper, when you dropped the hose down, it drained the tub). The entire wringer could rotate so you could position it over a side table or over several laundry baskets. That little handle on top of the swivel post was the switch to start/stop the wringer and was totally waterproof, I think it might have been reversible too. The red bar was a warning but also a cutoff, in case something like a kid's fingers started to go through the wringer or if something too big started to clog the wringer. And I think that little horizontal bar on the very top of the wringer could be turned to take the pressure off the rollers so you could pull a clog back out of the wringer. But I was very young and was certainly not allowed to run the wringer. But like any toddler I followed my mom around watching her do chores. The agitator, the wringer, the swivel arm, the drain hose were all interesting to me at that age. I shudder to think of how many diapers she ran through that wringer with four kids over five years, all in cloth diapers. A small mountain of diapers, no doubt. I was youngest so probably all my diapers were hand-me-downs. : ) So what did the gas engine do? Run a little generator or something? Surely it didn't run the agitator or the wringer directly.

You've got a rotating power source, why go electric? Belt drive from the engine crankshaft to the agitator/wringer gearbox and pump. I was like maybe 4 or 5 years old at the time we had that washing machine in the mid '50s. I remember the side loading electric one we had later much better. It had a door on top to add the detergent, and you could see the side of the tub turning down there. WoooHoo!!! This is a vintage 1920's Maytag washing machine with wringer powered by a 2-stroke engine. In rural America where there was no electricity, this made cleaning clothes a lot easier that it had been before. Another Maytag engine is running on the ground, and a "hit and miss" engine is running next to the washer. Taken August 27, 2011 at the Shelby Iron Works Engine Show in Shelby, Alabama (near Birmingham).
