- A Denver woman is suing Denver Police for arresting her for a crime in which she had no involvement. Read the full CBS4 Investigates story at cbsloc.al/3so8PGf
I can’t think of any other job where that level of incompetence doesn’t result in a firing.
Haha. Good enough for government work lol
Doctor
I was gonna say, well...maybe a politician! 😆
@@Hero1395 Except for the doctors are required to carry malpractice insurance. So the tax payers do not end up paying for their screwup’s
Anything in government is just like that.
They arrested a sexual assault victim. Remember this
She was already vulnerable. They do this and she don’t know why. Then there cameras weren’t on also. Seen that on another news report.
Exactly... Goodness gracious.
Sheeeet, the pigs probably know the perp personally.
The cops were probably friends of the rapist and tried to get her before a DNA test of body fluids was taken. If the test was taken maybe one their friends is a likely suspect.
@@Chris_at_Home OMG, I never even thought of that. That is horrifying. I'm sad that we've gotten to a point in the US where I can't immediately rule it out because I know stuff like that has happened.
Three days later they dropped the charges against the wrong person. How generous!
And now she’ll have an arrest on her record for the rest of her life, which will come up in background checks when she applies for jobs. If she wants it removed, she’ll need to spend countless hours and possible thousands on an attorney to get it expunged from her record.
@@NLBusiness391that’s why she’s suing.
Though this video would clear her situation to the emoloyers, but it would also reveal of why she was there in the first place.
But yeah! Sue those donut-brains of millions. No need to work again if won.
I ♥ lawyers!!!
It actually is, normally they charge the innocent person with resisting arrest and interference, probably also failure to ID and assaulting a police officer.
Ten day suspension for taking a victim from a hospital bed and jailed for a crime she didn't commit !!!! Wow their punishment seems a little aggressive. Those poor cops had to endure a ten day holiday, I bet they never do anything like not doing due diligence ever again.😮
If screw ups got me vacations, I'd screw up once a month. 😊

Local Government Kidnapping of a Hospital Patient, is this getting like "Soviet Policing" in our "Land of the Free"???
Exactly! Outrageous! They didn't even have the b*lls to apologize to her personally!
The fact that she didn't even look like the perp they were supposed to be looking for (in the wrong hospital) is perplexing! She is about the right age, white and female, but so are millions of other women, including some at the right hospital!
They obviously had no interest in finding the suspect, just in making an arrest and polishing their egos.
The fact that she was a sexual assault victim as well is so beyond shameful that they should have been sacked immediately and prosecuted for bringing the police into disrepute. It is hard enough for victims to come forward as it is, because of the difficulties they face with having to prove their case, without this kind of experience while in hospital!
They went to the WRONG hospital and arrested the WRONG person. They should never be allowed to have a law enforcement position anywhere.100 % no excuse
I totally agree. Deranged cops like that cannot be in the position of presumed power
Not just the wrong person, but someone who was actually a victim of a crime.
They arrest on a whim not even interested in knowing whether they have the right person, TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT AGENTS!
Exactly
And those officers just moved to the head of the class for the next detective position......
So not only is she traumatized from the initial drugging and assault that landed her in hospital, now she's forever traumatized by the people that are supposed to protect her. Nice job
Exactly what I was thinking
Some COPS ARE selectively STUPID WRONG ADDRESSES, WRONG PERSON, ARRESTED WRONG HOSPITAL CAN THEY READ ? DO SOME INVESTIGATION first, I HOPE SHE DIDN'T LOSE HER JOB ? LAW SUIT these mistakes CAN be avoided. She was traumatized twice. The second time by those sworn to protect and to serve.
Low IQ, high on power trip, brutal, devoid of empathy....these are a few of the qualities of thugs with police badges.
"Supposed to protect" hahahaha. That's a lie, the Supreme Court ruled they have no obligation to protect
Amazing that the Inquiry called this a 'Unique' case'.... Is it really???
Wrong house, now wrong hospital. I wonder if they get the wrong dounut shop.
😅
Just like the doughnuts they buy, their brains are full of holes
Even pizza delivery drivers get it right almost 100% of the time. Which means pizza delivery drivers are smarter than police.
These guys need to hire Uber (or whichever) whenever outside that needs vehicle travel.
😂😂😂😂
Not possible. Pigs have a keen sense of smell.
Saying "Sorry", isn't sufficient. She should sue for millions, the police and the city.
and they wont have to pay they will just take it out of taxes
You can tell that she’s been traumatized!😢
Hi babg
Hi baby
Arresting the wrong person, should mean kidnapping charges.
Exactly but they are free from prosecution.
They did not do basic checks we would do.. how duh must you be,
So doctors tell she was sexually assaulted so yeh that’s our girl faking it..
ugh should be fired and responsible for part of law suit,
The officers at the station should have also known this was wrong.
Look at the video..not same woman. Idiots. Cruel idiots.
What a nightmare... lying in a hospital bed because you were sexual assaulted and then arrested and dragged away to spend two days in jail for something that didn't even concern you. I hope she gets MILLIONS.
From the tax payers, time to individually make the pigs or the union pay.
@@grancito2 cops should have to carry errors and omissions insurance like real estate agents do.
@@chuckstockford2338 Yes, many occupations have to buy liability insurance, the insurance companies would quickly weed out the bad pigs.

Hundreds of millions.
@@poksnee sadly it’s the taxpayers that have to pay not the offending bullies. I think that cops and people in power should have to carry an insurance policy for 5 million dollars to cover their screw ups. If you can’t get a policy you can’t Police.
The cops went to the *wrong Hospital!* That's criminal stupidity and they should be serving time for it.
How they weren't fired, shows the corruption in policing
"they would DROP THE CHARGES"?! The Police should be charged with kidnapping and endangerment. This is why Police unions are so powerful, to protect incompetence and brutality
After 48 hours rape kit evidence cannot be collected.
There’s no mistaken identity here.
She was Drugged and raped by a cop.
This is the Thin blue line protecting its own
@@stevie-lee3934 , wow,, never thought of this!!!! I'd like to know if these medical procedures where preformed and if not, I would weigh heavily on your theory! I've known of cops getting in accidents drunk and the other person being charged at fault!! So this is very possible. If rape kit was done, I would still suspect a cop. Good thinking!
They would drop the charges. That's mighty nice of them!
First offence: Chop off their trigger fingers. And second offence the kid gloves are off and the penalty escalates in severity.
the union isn't the one protecting the cops... the LAW is protecting the cops... qualified immunity has been shielding cops for YEARS
They don’t look anything alike, that’s not a mistake it’s negligence
This isn’t just negligence, it a crime!
But it’ll never be recognized as one
Heather Baker
The article does say they were given a vague description. I simply ask why operate on such a level as to arrest on a vague description? I suppose the medical staff aren't allowed to say why she was there or even divulge her ID but to arrest rather than just have an officer wait at her bedside until she is able to be spoken to is disgraceful.
it's hard to find anyone that'll do their job correctly. Half the world is doing a half assed job at everything...
@@robbyddurham1624 Because people who do things properly are punished by their useless parasite bosses.

who is surprised by this? absolutely no one. this sort of thing happens on a daily basis in the united states . they raid the wrong house, kill the wrong person, arrest the wrong person. police officers have now become the national symbol of opression and hate the majority of them are too lazy to even be bothered to double check anything. just imcompitent and lousy.
@Seth
Natch.
Even when I got straight A’s, Pop called me lazy.
She did the right thing, and sued them. The sad thing about this scenario was that lady was assaulted, and five minutes later, she's getting a charge for basically being in the wrong hospital.
@Seth Only in America, baby!
We never know how often this happens in other countries because of the discrepancy in media coverage, as well as differences in Freedom of Information laws, which is why you hear so many stories come out of Florida, they have some of the most generous of those laws which allows stories to get out that wouldn't get out in other states or countries.
Repeal qualified immunity
Sue the police and the hospital.
"Situation was unique" - the magic 8 ball gave our officers the wrong building, wrong floor, wrong patient...
No - they WENT to the wrong place and did not ever bother to rry and verify that they had the correct place or person.
im surprised they got the right country
Cops are not hired because of intelligence or their ability to handle the incredibly detailed and arduous '6 week' training course. The best recruits are people who blindly follow orders, and in the absence of direct orders most are fairly helpless when it comes to their daily work and common sense, which leads to all these constant issues with them going to the wrong locations, and arresting or killing the wrong people. That is why Qualified immunity was put in place, to protect the cretins from their own stupidity.
Even if she was the person they were looking for, it was crazy that they would pull her out of a hospital bed and throw her in jail for two days. Those cops shouldn't be disciplined, they should be fired.
The hospital should have told the cops to pound sand. They should have demanded to talk to the idiot in charge.
Officers should have been sentenced to two days in jail. Just like she was in jail.
That's how stupid cops and their Boss are !!!!!
They are just trained how to use the guns and kill but they are not trained how to respect and protect citizens rights and health !!!
AND JAILED
@@jennifermoffett9866 years not days
No lawsuit or monetary settlement will ever stop this type of incompetence that a lot of police departments show
You know what would deter me from doing the same thing as these officers, certainly not a 10 day suspension, that's just a slap on the wrist!
How is a 10 day paid vacation a slap on the wrist?
That’s false imprisonment. Anybody else would get prison time for that.
So true, if you or I kidnapped and imprisoned so.ebody would would lose everything and goto jail for a long time, but cops get 10 days holiday and never even had the basic human decency to apologise to her face.
Yeah but you forget that police are Divine beings sent by Jesus Christ himself and could absolutely do no wrong.
She should sue their miserable hides. LOTS!
that's kidnapping and taking of a hostage more like terrosism false inprisonment would be like if I locked you in a room while robbing your house.

End qualified immunity immediately. There will be no problem from crooked cops again.
Lazy and worthless.
They already have in Colorado
Talk to end qualified immunity is just a distraction. Often plaintiffs atty will help make arguments for the LEO to keep their QI. Turns out qualified immunity ONLY works in civil court. If LEOs keep their QI then usually it is the city or the PD that ends up in the hook, and they more often than not have deeper pockets than the LEOs themselves.
There isn't any law or rule that prevents LEO from being criminally charged. Ideally these LEOs would have been charged with kidnapping or its similar cousin false arrest. THEN the victim should be able to sue in civil courts as well.
If someone breaks into your house and runs away, if you then go out to the street and mistakenly hold the wrong person at gun point you will end up with criminal charges against you. The fact that one made an honest mistake and held the wrong person at gun point doesn't excuse anything, well why do LEOs get to make mistakes of that magnitude and not get held responsible?
Not the cure for the problem. It’s going to deter good candidates from becoming police officers snd nothing will change in the culture of policing in this country other than it will become even more occupied by even more incompetence and the cause of the issues with policing will continue to go unnoticed and not addressed. Until we hold our elected officials at the top of our local governments accountable and force sheriffs and the mayors, city councils, and DA’s to do their jobs and mayors, councils, and sheriffs are clear that the people demand they hold every level of their agencies accountable fir their own actions as well as those of their subordinates, train and mentor away from the “Us vs Them” mentality and the constant stressing of Officer safety above all to the point of it being infinite,y more important than public safety, and do away with command staff more concerned with political aspirations and trying show everyone that “diversity is our strength” (because it’s not, it breeds mediocrity, acceptance of incompetence, lowers standards across the board, discourages and deters good cops and good candidates, and results in incompetent supervisors and command which doesn’t manage, monitor, nor mentor their subordinates) dismiss command more concerned with growing government, increasing their budget, using cops as revenue generators, and are more concerned with statistics and their “secret” quotas than they are about having the right people, developing them into good cops, policing to serve the community rather than to “keep it in line”, respecting the public and protecting their rights, focusing on keeping the peace, serving justice, and not overreaching to become involved in civil matters and any situation they see occurring and allow an officers ego to lead him into places he doesn’t belong, and insisting on a return to the old mentality in policing from when cops counted on each other and were confident and competent enough to deal with an altercation conservatively and resorting to lethal force only as a last resort, something that only occurs when they’re left with no alternative, rather than being overtaken by “fear of death or serious bodily injury” to the point that they top out the force continuum the second that hey think lethal force will be found to be legally justified and that bar needs to be recalibrated and reset a bit higher. If sheriffs and chiefs won’t do their damn jobs in those cases, then it’s up to the DA to see to it that a grand jury is able to hold officers accountable. These people at the top of the food chain who are responsible for how departments operate work for us, and without our votes, they don’t have a job. It’s about damn time we remind them of this reality and see to it that things are done right instead of just continuing to re-elect these incompetent, corrupt, self-serving swamp monsters, allowing them to continue neglecting their duties and helping themselves while we bitch and complain about the street level cops acting like there’s no oversight or accountability so they eventually devolve into certain undesirable behaviors when that’s actually the case and that’s the way it is because it’s human nature for de-evolution to occur, and we 5he people have been allowing all this to happen without doing a damn thing about it.
@ John H
Actually, SCOTUS recently struck down Qualified Immunity in that there was no Law that granted it in the first place. It seems that in 1982, someone used the argument and since nobody argued against it, Qualified Immunity became a de-facto defense. No more.
It took them two days and night to check some surveillance footage but minutes to arrest her. Disciplinary doesn't cut it.
Wow, thank you for your kindness of dropping the charges.
They don’t even have the same size or hair color wtf
they got the description : white female aged 9-99 , weight 50-500 pounds, height three to 12 feet tall . hair? yes . eyes ? two . fits her to a T
They went to the WRONG hospital and arrested the WRONG person who looks NOTHING like the actual suspect!!!!
These cops aren't qualified to deliver pizza!!!!
@@carmineredd1198 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 funny but not. These cloned cops and other government employees who are not even human NEED TO BE DESTROYED
Apparently their stupidity extended to not checking the video until well after arresting the wrong person.
At least they arrested a female, didn't totally screw it up.
The situation was unique, just like the last time it happened and the time before that, and the time before that.
Don't worry; They will investigate themselves, AGAIN, and find they did nothing wrong...Again!
@iamnobody noone In response to your comment to Brent Farvors about paying for it?

I really shouldn't laugh. But... 😂🤣😂🤣😆😂🤣Oh my! This comment is spot on!
This is criminal. Absolutely outrageous.
Dude how can they arrest someone being treated at a hospital?
They do it all the time. and if the staff, like nurses, don't let them, they try to arrest the nurses.
Felony kidnapping , Assault and battery . Plus civil rights violations . Disciplined like prison time for felony kidnapping .
Or execution. That also works.
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law
@@ianbattles7290 Your right . You got me on that one.
It's the damned Cop Unions. It would have been a golden opportunity to fire a couple of cops that were obviously sub prime material, but the Cop Unions turn everything into a life and death battle that the real Chain of Command doesn't have much latitude. You know, the Army isn't allowed to unionize and neither should the cops. the problem is the same thing, that you can't have two contradictory chains of command with the Union second guessing everything the Captain orders. Also, WHY is the Right Wing so against Unions everywhere else except when it comes to Bacon and Donuts.
First off I don’t see where the union had much to do with this. The one thing people don’t realize if your in a union your union is obligated to defend you by federal law. The union is require to put up the best defense as possible, by federal law. There are ways for a union not to defend members. The union is first and foremost there to make sure what ever discipline that takes place is what is in the agreed contract. I have worked in union and non union jobs. I will say there are bad unions like the teachers union. Then there are unions that do their job and when there is a member that is wrong and or repeats and always has problems the union membership can vote not to defend the member. Don’t always think it’s a unions fault they kept their job. Remember a union member only can use the union and not get outside attorney. It is a double edge sword. It is hard to make any call from a TH-cam video. Clearly I agree that some unions are allowed too much power. Not sure if that is the case here

@@Tigerlily_Fresh Smart person and "walking example for the dunning krueger effect" are not the same thing.
They literally went to a random hospital (actually, the WORST hospital ) and arrested a random woman. They made no effort. My heart goes out to this woman. To be drugged and assaulted - then when you go for help - no one protects you - you're just kidnapped and assaulted by police and held for days.
Where is America getting their cops from nowadays- they can't read addresses, they can't get names right, they can't check facts before arresting people falsely, they fail in their jobs at every turn. It is utterly terrifying at how uneducated American police are and yet they are there to enforce the law as they see fit!!
Cops don't care, as long as they can check the boxes.
To nearest hospital (not random hospital).
@@s1p0Like the poster said "they made no effort" they went to the closest hospital and grabbed the first girl that they were told had been admitted unconscious, threw her into a holding cell.

She lost her case against them too. So they and arrest you AND verbally abuse you. Then pat themselves on the back.
F the police.
A little follow up. The woman sued the police, the city and the hospital on 8 grounds. In 2021 a judge dismissed 7 of the 8 counts. The sole count that he allowed to proceed was against officer Whyde for false arrest. Its worth noting the the court ruled that " although the woman was arrested without probable cause, this does not constitute false imprisonment because there is no guarantee that only guilty people will be arrested". To read the whole ruling read : Cook v Whyde Civil Action 20-cv-02912-PAB-STV
TY for the update. I actually took a look at the court's ruling; it's yet another reminder to people of just how difficult it is to hold public entities (cities, counties, parishes, townships, etc.) accountable for the wrongful acts of their employees (such as LEOs).
Those "officers" should have lost their badges and been black listed from ever wearing one again.
Sorry this was a bad thing that happened but if they have clean records they should be suspended without pay and sent in for further training no one deserves to lose there job due lt stupidity but if they have other issues on their record that’s a different story

In Florida a woman is arrested for having possession of vitamins that a field drug test kit said was an opioid. She spent 5 months in jail before the Florida state laboratory reversed the field drug test kits findings and said it was indeed vitamins. Now she can't find another job (she was fired from her first job) her reputation is trashed, she's afraid to go outside as people ostracize her still and her husband wants to sue the police and the Field drug test kit manufacturing company.
Her husband is right.
I hope they do and win big. There have been many field test kits mistakes and officers have been advised to not use them. But they do anyway so they can have high arrest stats and bigger bonuses. They don't care whose lives they destroy.
END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FOREVER.
The field test always says "dope" and the drug dog always "indicates". It's a revenue scam.
I read about a Florida deputy who tested one of those field kits. She opened it and the air was positive for opioids.
She has a case to sue. It’s a form of fraud, harassment, entrapment and willful negligence.

This is exactly why officers should not be given the power to remove someone from a hospital before they are well enough to be discharged. What sort of officer would do that to an assault victim anyway? That's sick! I hope this poor woman gets awarded generous compensation.
How do you arrest someone, that's not even the woman they need. These cops need to be fired

When a sexual assault victim is hospitalized, it means she had bodily injury. With that mental injury, bodily injury, she was thrown into a cell, given a boloney sandwich, and a cot. Imagine the confusion and mental anguish.
It is quite apparent the level of intelligence for being a police officer has hit rock bottom.
This happened to me in January 2019 in Castle Rock, CO. The judge asked me why I was arrested, he said that he couldn't figure it out. Terrifying and humiliating. No apologies.
The lack of apology/remorse is EXACTLY what would motivate me to sue their asses off.
This is why Colin kneeled!
THat's called kidnapping where I'm from.
Welcome to being a man. Except when your a man they try to get you to waive your legal rights so you can’t sue them.
They hire incompetent applicants, then give them too little training in the academy. Then they are trained on the streets by others who have had too little training and are incompetent.
Then their mistakes and bad actions are covered up by their coworkers and/or ignored by their superiors.
Then they have prosecutors who ignore , or downplay the officers " mistakes" and bad actions.
Then they have courts that go easy on them and sometimes even invent doctrines to protect them( Qualified immunity) that us citizens never get to review, approve, or deny.
Why would they try ?
Beyond their own conscience, or pride in their work.
And we know that there are plenty of cops that don't have either of those.
That poor woman... Picturing her trapped in a jail cell for days, in anguish bc she was drugged and assaulted. Trapped in the trauma 😢 Hope she sues them and wins.
Hope she sues the hell out of the hospital too. They had a duty to protect her while in their care.
Guarantee the cops are going to screw up expunging her record and she's going to have to fight this every now and then like when she applies for a job
After 48 hours rape kit evidence cannot be collected.
There’s no mistaken identity here.
She was Drugged and raped by a cop.
This is the Thin blue line protecting its own
@@stevie-lee3934 ... that sounds alarmingly plausible. I hope they managed to collect evidence before she was arrested.
@@IONAPINKMOXIE She can always show them this video.
The cops should have been fired and prosecuted for false arrest and imprisonment and sued. You should also sue the hospital for not defending a patient's rights,
Wow! More than an apology needs to be given. She was sexually assaulted, and then harmed again by these officers.
She will (and should) get millions of dollars in a settlement.
This will never stop until qualified immunity is taken away from them. The SOONER the better.
The cops were rewarded with a 10 day paid vacation
She should get her bail back. That is nothing less than kidnapping and extortion. Kidnaping as they got the WRONG person, then she had to PAY out of pocket to get out, even though she was INNOCENT! If ANY of us did that to a person, that would be kidnapping and ransom! Extortion! I find it amazing how pizza delivery drivers get the addresses right almost 100% of the time, yet police screw up this badly ALL THE TIME. THat means pizza delivery drivers are smarter than police. If someone in any other occupation screwed up this badly, they would be FIRED immediately!
How the hell can you arrest and take someone out of a hospital who is getting current and active medical treatment? I cant believe the hospital even allowed that to happen! Sickening!
They would probably arrest the doctor and nurses too.
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex You're right, they would. They've done it before. They're disgusting.
hospitals are just as uncaring... its a money thing for them.
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex They have. One nurse refused to hand over personal medical information of a patient and the cop arrested her for some B.S. he made up. It was later proven the cop was in the wrong, as he tried intimidation and use of his authority to attempt to get the nurse to do something illegal. I am not sure, but I think the backlash had the cop fired.
I work in ER, if she could be medically cleared, they would have to let her go. Also, there are healthcare officials at the jails. So "officially" she could have still been under medical care. If she had been on drips, or something they couldn't deal with at the jail, the officers would have had to stay by the bed until medically cleared or told hospital staff to call when the person was released ... which hospital staff sometimes forget to do. I assure you, the police have rights over even the hospital staff. And have actually threatened arrest to those who get in their way.
While I have met great officers, there are WAY too many who barely get slaps on their wrists.
Imagine being sexually assaulted and while dealing with that being put in jail.
It's mind shattering stuff...You can tell she was still in shock...

Wrong hospital, wrong address. WTF !!! !
Drugged, Sexually Assaulted @ a party THEN Arrested @ the hospital ! ! Talk about trauma ! ! 😢
Sue them for everything you can
I hope she wins millions! She’s already been thru a lot and this happens.
Cmon be more realistic. $25K - $100K for the false arrest and adding to her mental anguish. Everything prior to her false arrest had nothing to do w/ police. It’s not she was the wrong suspect and the cops came into her home, cuffed her and dragged her out buck naked in front of her children.
@@pattgsm so you think there should be goal posts established to decide the level of a woman's anguish? Way to marginalize the victim.
Julie Giroux - So the millions you are proposing isn't a goal post? What if she were awarded a settlement of $10 trillion, would that be more appropriate or absurd? The scenario I previously mentioned was an actual cases of police forcing entry into the wrong home. There was another similar circumstance when police entered the wrong home and took the life of the homeowner. The families of those victims didn't receive millions. They should have... I'd imagine being falsely accused, arrested and detained would be traumatic for anyone. I'm not against it if she does (all power to her and her attorney), but I don't see a settlement for millions in her future. Not over this.
The word “wins” is inappropriate. Awarded or compensated are better descriptors. The amount paid must be extremely punitive to insure the system understands the severity of the infringement. I suggest twenty million dollars and then the same amount must be invested for the improvement of the training of all officers from the Cheif to new recruits.
Assaulted twice in one night,Oh my God!!! My heart goes out to this woman. Was assaulted as a young hippie and the cops laughed at me. No matter what the courts award will not be enough.
I wonder if they refunded her bail? Because she had absolutely no reason to pay it in the first place.
10 day suspension should be served in JAIL !
What's the difference between what these cops did and kidnapping,? Not a dam thing. Not only should they loose their jobs but everyone involved needs charged with felony kidnapping
And the kidnapping was conducted while armed with a gun which is a felony charge of the highest charge!
Intent?
agreed, it is by law kidnapping, false imprisonment, false arrest, assault, defamation, filing a false police report.
Lawn enforcement should at least be held to twice the degree of punishment for committing a crime against a citizen.
@@gladiator8325 100% wrong. In the state of CO you would have to have Intent for the crimes you listed.
@@richfarfugnuven6308
You don’t have to have intent, you just have to do the crime
Eenie, meenie, minnie mo. Can you imagine being drugged, raped and hospitalized and then arrested for no reason? It's like her attack never ended.
Dispatch: Suspect is blonde and slight woman, currently at St Joseph's Hospital.
What they heard: Suspect... woman... hospital. Let's just grab a random woman from a random hospital!
It's the best I ever heard anyone articulate the police rights to arrest you. It's an honor to have that much power Don't abuse it. And they do
That hospital is negligent regarding her need for care and what transpired! She should be suing both!
The story isn't clear on whether the hospital staff was at all culpable in this debacle. Given the information presented here, for all we know, they may have made every effort to prevent this from happening!
@@greatnortherntroll6841 Once a person enters their doors needing care, they ARE accountable for that care. They can allow officers to be present, they can allow she is not allowed to leave, etc., but they let someone take her after she was put into their care before that care was complete and without sufficient proof she was the person in question, from information presented here. I am aware of federal medical accountability from my service in the field.
I'm thinking the police should have looked at the video before arresting anyone.
What do you want the hospital to do they can't stop the police. Didn't you see the video where a nurse was arrested because she wouldn't draw blood when a police officer requested her to do so against Hospital policy
You really don't want a brawl with police in the ER. That really opens liability issues. Police Union would be all over that.
This is suspicious af. They went to the wrong hospital, grabbed the wrong woman, and held her for TWO DAYS before realizing their "mistake"???
This doesn't feel like an accident
Unfreakinbelievable! Law suit!
I say you go straight for their qualified immunity and make them pay for it personally instead of the tax payers.
Agree and I'm retired LE.
@@donnaviestenz7773 I somehow doubt it if you're automatically taking the media's word for it
@@eq1373 did you eat paint chips as a kid? did you not hear what the police said in the statement?
Understand going after an officer's qualified immunity will just lead to the entire department quiting. Making them pay it personally will again result in officers quitting. But i guess a higher crime rate is more appealing to some people.
The people of Denver should pay dearly for this. Maybe they will be more careful about who they hire in their police department.
The fact that they could have, but didn’t check security footage until they victimized this already traumatized woman tells you what they think of women.
It's not what they think of women. It's what they think of civilians.
@@briant7265 exactly how sad you think this only happens to girls
Some ppl r speculating a police officer is the one who r*ped her and they're trying to cover it up because the r*pe kits are no longer reliably testable after 48 hours...
They act like they were doing her a favor by dropping the charges.
"The officers want to say they're sorry."
Okay. Well then go get them so they can do that.
Truth is, they don't give a shit. They've already forgotten about it.
$$$ = Sorry, sue their asses
Denver PD : “ Hey we are dropping the charges.” You think ?!
The news reporter fit the burglar’s description perfectly 😂
Omg, that’s exactly what I thought! lol
@@derekrice5203 right 🤣
This is horrible. I hope she gets millions from the city.
Question of the year: "Did anyone apologize?"
Sure, cops are going to apologize, when hell freezes over.
Circumstances are unique?! Nope, it's not unique for an officer to not do his job and determine the right person to arrest. Nothing unique there.
Circumstances are unique... Stupid cop goes to wrong hospital and randomly arrests a woman. Certainly unique!!
NO punishment for the thugs, as usual
