MO-Gay man arrested for refusing to leave his husband at hospital.

Yeah, well, in light of the increasing complaints, I guess I've worn out my welcome, and more than likely will cease.

Screw the complainers. You spread truth and the truth hurts sometimes. I hope you keep up the good work.

If I was the hospital administrator, I'd have kicked both of them out, and the patient, too.

Sounds like the whole thing is one big liability... I'm surprised with something as soft-science as depression they let the patient stay. Plenty of other medical cows to milk in America, anyway.

You can stay on a hospital bed for depression? Really?

Contempt of medical personnel. Followed shortly by contempt of cop.

I support a subforum for the "Bad Cop" posts. General forums is wrong place to put it.

Why? (serious question)

I disagree, government officials overstepping their bounds seems ripe for discussion in general politics.

I read that on the site HuffPo ripped it from, and I don't really care. It sounds like the brother and the gay lover were having a big fight in a critically ill patient's room. She should have thrown them both out.

I agree, they should've both been ejected until they could be civil. Or if the brother Lee was such an asshole that he couldn't respect his brother's wishes with regard to the husband, then Roger and Lee should've set up a schedule so one could be in the waiting room while the other was taking his turn in the room.

It sounds to me like the cops could've tried a little harder to get him to leave the room peacefully without it getting violent. There are plenty of good cops, so I don't want to over-generalize, but I think most of them tend to jump to the use of force to assert their position of power a bit too quickly when they have someone who doesn't want to comply. That being the case, I think the guy is entitled to some damages here against the police and if he decides to sue, I hope he wins his case. Regardless of why it happened or whether the guy is gay, black, lesbian, dwarf, Chinese, or anything else, this should not have happened to him.

Don't stop. Anyone who doesn't like the "bad cop" stories should be able to tell from the thread title it's something they don't want to read. If they read it and don't like what you have to say about it, it's their problem and their fault for clicking on it. If you can't share stories like this here, where else is the place for them?

If it's up for a vote though, I would vote in favor of a "Bad Cops/Abuse of Police Power" subforum, just so all of them can be found in one place and so anyone who doesn't want to read them can avoid them without having to use their brains much.

I'm seeing twelve total, so I dunno what's happening. But whatever, I guess it's not important.

Anti Federalist said "seven blog entries in a years time." That is correct, there are seven entries between March 2012 and the present.

If you count all the entries, on pages one and two, it is twelve. That's from June 2011 to today, not just in the last year.
