Is There a Lawyer in the House?

Imagine the outrage of denying service to people based on race....then remember, liberals and democrats  already do it based on religion, political affiliation and what your job might be:

• New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch is demanding that a Brooklyn hospital retrain all of its staff after emergency room personnel mistreated NYPD officers whom they mistook for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The hospital said it “regret[s]” the conduct.

  Several NYPD detectives were “met with rudeness, disrespect, and a lack of basic professional courtesy” at the Home Depot Emergency Department at New York University Langone Health—Cobble Hill last week, according to the NYC Detectives’ Endowment Association. The staff initially mistook the officers for federal immigration officers and suggested they go somewhere else for treatment, according to multiple reports.

We've run across dozens of stories during our career where hospital staff were overly rude and unprofessional to on-duty cops who had either been injured or were escorting prisoners who had been injured, usually during the course of resisting arrest or attacking Officers. A few times, we experienced medical staff attempting to dictate how custody of prisoners was undertaken, none of which ended well for those attempting to cite "medical authority" over actual Law.

If we're going to go down this road - denying medical care to Law Enforcement over political differences - then we see a lot of referrals to medical licensing boards, examining hospital certifications and lawsuits with punitive damages attached for medical malpractice. 

We'd suggest the FOP start looking into a few pro-Police law firms willing to take on hospitals - they're loaded with tax money, grant money and insurance money.
