Utah nurse violently arrested in viral clip settles with hospital for $500G

Y’all will no doubt recall the thrilling tale of Nurse Wubbels and Detective Payne, where the detective aggressively arrested the nurse because she refused to draw blood from an unconscious patient when the detective did not have a warrant. She was utterly in the legal right; he was a dick.

I’m on her side here. But… dayum, half a million bucks? Does that not seem perhaps a bit much… especially since it’s partially coming not from the now-ex-cop, but from the hospital? The half million is split between the hospital and the city of Salt Lake, even though the hospital did not arrest her. I guess the worst yo can say is that the rent-a-cops just stood by, but I wonder just how many security guards anywhere would ever intervene in an arrest.
