Re: This story: Police settle excessive force suit with 71-year-old woman katu.com I've been thinking about this story some more and discussed it with a friend who works as an extended care nurse. There's no mention made of what happened to any of the police or city staff after this incident. I wonder if any of them were reprimanded or fired over this. I suspect not. The interesting thing about this story is that if a nurse were to even so much as roughly push an elderly person under his/her care, or slap or otherwise abuse that person, he or she would (at the very least) receive a reprimand, and might well lose their job and even lose their ability to continue working as a nurse -- or at least that would be the case up here in Canada. Isn't it rather odd that police or other law enforcement workers seem to be free of the normal, commonsense constraints of humane conduct that a nurse or other responsible adult would have to adhere to when handling an elderly person, child, or any citizen with physical limitations such as frailty, blindness, and deafness, as described in this story? Very disturbing.
