No, what? Where is your argument that is meant to refute what I said? Your wife works at a hospital where a nurse was put into a similar situation, she refused, suffered personal consequences, and (presumably) the would be "patient" wasn't harmed. Sure, that nurse deserves hearty applause! If her coworkers and management supported her, they deserve applause too!

But none of that speaks to this other situation where a different nurse joined in the sadism of the cops (or at the very least was cowed into submission worrying about personal consequences), and then after a person was harmed, all of the responsible institutions have thrown up their hands and said "yup, looks good!". There's no guarantee that the laws as written support justice, and quite often it turns out that they do not. But you seem to be clinging to that idea.
