Re: good cop
It is true, it's been run on mainstream media as well, albeit much less loudly.
CNN has the story online as well. Having had bowel issues in the last few years, something that looks not right to me is the number of enemas, and the claim that he actually crapped after each one of them. If that is true, then it is obvious why he was walking with his "butt clenched". Also, have not met a dog yet that will walk by something that smells like crap without stopping for a sniff. Think maybe the dog that sniffed the car seat and reacted was actually saying the guy was near crapping his pants.
This goes way beyond the cops involved here. If the cops got their search warrant to get the x-ray, do they not need another to do the enema? Then after that, a third one for the colonoscopy? There are checks and balances that are in place to stop this from occurring, what broke down?
The part about the hospital refusing for an ethical reason is odd as well, once the cops have the warrant for the x-ray, there is no ethical issue. That part sounds more like there was no warrant at the first hospital.
If there never was a warrant issued for any of this, then anybody that had even a finger in this should be held accountable. That includes nurses, doctors, cops present, supervisors that knew it was happening, and even the second hospital administrator and management board. I have a feeling that if this story happened as reported, the guy will be given far more than the bill he got from the second hospital.
BTW, the second hospital no doubt sent the bill to the guy to show that they were under the assumption that the guy had agreed to the procedures. Sort of like, "we will just proceed like he requested the services, and that way we cannot be sued for not protecting his rights". If they do not bill the guy, then that means they knew the cops were ordering the procedures, likely also not having a warrant in the first place.
